I tried using Niri but the per-monitor workspace behaviour is completely unacceptable to me. I don't use a laptop.
- anarcat 2y agocan you expand on that? how does it compare to sway, for example? what's unacceptable and acceptable for you?
- Starlevel004 2y agoSway (and most other tiling) WMs have the same behaviour; i.e., each monitor has its own unique set of workspaces instead of one workspace being shared across monitors. Workspaces not being persistent also messed with me, I have eight workspaces all divvied up for exact purposes and sometimes the ones inbetween are empty. I use labwc currently which has the ideal workspace behaviour (one workspace shared).
- anarcat 2y agoright, those are the two ways. and how does niri do it? a workspace is shared among all monitor, or it's one workspace per monitor?
- MyOutfitIsVague 2y agoThis is interesting and subjective. A shared workspace is completely unacceptable to me. I need my monitors to have different, unlinked workspaces that can be independently switched. It's one of the things I hated about using Gnome.
