- arikrahman 4mo agoI agree, I switched to noctalia so I get all the performance benefits without the baggage of telling people I use Dank
- farresito 4mo agoNoctalia will soon release v5, which is a complete rewrite in C++, which makes it even more appealing if you care about the performance.
- arikrahman 4mo agoYes, I'm on the beta of v5 and it works flawlessly
- mmgutz 4mo agoDMS | super heavyweight | sluggish | lots of eye candy, GUI configurable Noctalia | welterweight | fast | professional look, GUI configurable Waybar | lightweight | fast | minimal, DIY theming, hand configured swaybar | flyweight | blazingly fast | ultra minimalist, hand configured Noctalia uses about 70MB more RAM, and a little more CPU than Waybar. No brainer.
- arikrahman 4mo agoWith v5 I wouldn't be surprised if they can even slim it down more than waybar. No dependency to worry about unlike waybar with gtk core.
- mmgutz 4mo agoIf you consider the extras built into noctalia: notifications, screen lock (i think), wallpaper daemon .... daemons you have to install/configure piecemeal, noctalia is already in the ballpark of a waybar-based setup.
- arjie 4mo agoHaha, dude, the stuff we used to do when we were young. Transparent conky on the desktop showing a bunch of graphs that drive their own selves up. Spinning cubes to get workspaces. Loved it. And ran it on absolutely garbage hardware too. It will always be uncool to do this stuff, and I will always be there for it.
- butlike 4mo agoThe cube window space switcher was awesome. My friend Alex had that. The conky graphs dude. Why would you not want to see up-to-the-second disk I/O?
