So, I know that I'm a technical enough guy to figure this shit out, but on the other hand I really can't be fucked. Is there a project to create a windowmanager based desktop environment, where things like the statusbar, terminal emulator and window manager are all coded together to have a similar config syntax and requirements so we can have nice things like:
- minimal set of packages and programming languages installed
- a consistent language for users to learn and contribute patches to
- a properly small memory footprint (currently my minimal i3 setup is using more than a gigabyte of ram on its own)
- a consistent user experience that can be packaged by a distro
- no xorg
because as it is it's kind of a shit, URxvt is configured entirely differently to i3 which is different to lemonbar, which is different to qutebrowser, which is different to neovim, which is different to ncmpcpp, which is different to compton, which is different to feh. I'm not happy with any of my configs, and integrating them with pywal is an exercise in frustration, urxvt is happy with my bdf fonts but nothing else will currently load them, at this point it's been 6+hours and I have the ugliest fucking system, I was told that window managers were elegant, but the number of single use packages and utilities are stacking up and I've collected 3 separate versions of python, as well as perl and ruby.
finally, the promises made about runit have not actually held true, it's less usable than systemd by a LOT. I'm probably going to wipe void and try a SWAYland build on ubuntu.
