theycallhermax··on Dwl: Dwm for Wayland
niri's nice too. I used to daily drive it, but I don't remember why I stopped using it. Nowadays, I just WM hop, I've used Hyprland, labwc, and Pop Shell with GNOME so far, but dwl looks promising to me.
theycallhermax··on Ask HN: How could I get an invitation to Lobste.rs?
You need to ask someone you know that is already on lobste.rs for a invite[1], or join it's chat room and ask there[2].

theycallhermax··on Gnome 45 to Break Extensions
No, I never touched the splash screen files.

GNOME 45 hasn't hit stable yet; all extensions should still work on 44.

> KDE is too much Windowsy for my taste.

Agreed. GNOME has a much more original approach, and doesn't have those weird window action buttons. I got confused when I first seen them.

Last time I used KDE, it couldn't find `ksplashqml`, and had to reinstall the OS (didn't know what TTY was at the time). It also frequently crashed three times, and counting. GNOME is minimal and out of my way. The only space GNOME Shell takes up is the top bar. Nothing more, nothing less. Not to mention the off-brand Hot Corner.

No, the black bar is for someone that died.
theycallhermax··on Ask HN: Switch to Ubuntu, or Stay with Fedora?
> By far the biggest catch with Fedora is typing apt by mistake over and over and forgetting you're using Fedora.

Never attempted to run apt accidentally, but as a joke, I took a script that was meant for Ubuntu, and ran it. It prompted me if I wanted to install apt, I was like WTF? I hit `y`, thinking it was a joke. Turns out, they apparently had an freaking apt package in the main repo ready for installation. I just found this really cursed. At least I get the Super Cow Powers[1] that comes with apt.
