[Hikari] May Desktop (Void) (programming.dev)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by mccd@programming.dev to c/unixporn@lemmy.ml

A minimal desktop setup.

Info:

  • Programs: Emacs, Devdocs, pfetch, imv
  • WM: Hikari
  • OS: Void linux
  • Art by: Escher
  • Dotfiles

Recently switched from Guix to Void, mostly because it's much simpler and I felt that my desktop didn't need the complexity of Guix.

I think it's very underrated. It has some features I really appreciate:

  • Tiling features when needed, W+l s tiles everything when I need it.
  • Great shortcuts, like go to next busy desktop, maximize height of window
  • Holding win reveals the title of the window.
  • Cursor follows active window

It matches my workflow very well.

Does it work well for you? I used cwm on X11 (fairly similar to Hikari), but last time I tried Hikari on Void I kept running into weird issues.

Yeah I'd say so.

The only issues I've had is that pinch-to-zoom and fractional scaling does not work (but easily solvable).

It looks like hikari developement has stalled a bit, are you using a fork or something like that? Great setup btw:)

Thanks! Hmm, could be that it has stalled, though it's working great for me so I don't really know if it's a problem. I'm using the main repo.
