# Linux laptop
|
||
|
|
i'm using an asus zenbook infinity (ux301la-dh71t) for this. main challenges of laptops are being limited to 1 monitor, needing to set up hotkeys, and other such stuff.

## WM/DE experiences/ratings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Good?
|
||
|
|
- Sway (pure Wayland, no big dependencies, but need to figure out how to supplement it with DE stuff like notification area, easily-configurable panel, notifications, audio settings, and a better menu than dmenu) (i ended up going with sway as my main environment, paired with waybar / mako / pavucontrol / rofi, and also screenshots with grim+slurp)
|
||
|
|
- XFCE + xfwm (no-nonsense traditionalism but bad tiling, so you need to use a different workflow based around a dockbar/panel instead of tiling and workspaces.)
|
||
|
|
- XFCE + i3-gaps (a good compromise between DE and WM, at least for X11)
|
||
|
|
- Deepin (pretty but idk if it's functional yet -- play around more with it)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Interesting
|
||
|
|
- Qtile (need to learn how to use it bc it seems decent, similar to sway/i3 but no idea how to open menus yet, unfortunately doesn't seem to be mouse-driven at all)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### IDK
|
||
|
|
- bspwm / herbsluftwm (need config before opening?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Not-so-good?
|
||
|
|
- Budgie (scaling a bit weird, and idk why but i don't really like the styling of it even though it's clean and makes sense)
|
||
|
|
- awesome (haven't been able to configure it how i want to with the title bars, but otherwise *seems* solid)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Eh...
|
||
|
|
- GNOME (too limited and boring)
|
||
|
|
- KDE (bad design)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Not good
|
||
|
|
- Openbox/Fluxbox (too much hardcoded stuff)
|
||
|
|
- Notion (too bare/ugly)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Broken
|
||
|
|
- way-cooler (failed to compile)
|
||
|
|
- liri-desktop (no input from mouse/keyboard)
|
