Im trying to figure out if i can print a 2d drawing to paper to test the dimensions before doing anything else, is there a way to do it?

Hello, im a long time sway user but ive just kinda gotten fed up with the lack of customisation on sway, I dont really have time to do my own rice nor do I have any experience with lua.

I'd like to see if I could pay someone like £20 (or other equivalent) for a mid complexity rice (some custom scripts & menus, general appearance).

I can program the shell scripts and menus myself but I have no idea how to use hyprland.

I'm currently using sway (desktop image attached), i have been using sway for AGES, so im really used to using it.
I'd like to see about switching to hyprland or something similar because theres just a lack of customization on sway generally.
My questions are:
- What compositors are easiest to switch to coming from sway (and have good nvidia support)
- How should i go about learning to use them? I dont want to immediately stop using sway as i need my functional desktop still, so use a VM? im unsure

title is question

hyprland doesn't work with nvidia very well

Whenever I install a nvidia driver beyond version 580 on ANY distro (arch, opensuse, debian, fedora) my system freezes on reboot.

im using an rtx 3070

I genuinely have no explanation for this, my card must have issues.

Hello, went to reinstall siduction today and the cli installer was broken (just unstable problems I guess), tried to install siduction manually through a fresh debian sid install and it also broke.

I'd like to give arch a try considering im currently completely locked out of my main distro

Im looking for suggestions of what to try out, im used to using just plain CLI or sway, but ive been looking into hyprland aswell

So far, these are my main choices for arch:

- Berserk arch

- Standard arch

What would you reccomend?

Im either just going to use CLI or try out hyprland

Ive spent the last 8 hours trying to fix this:

Went to reinstall siduction because i wanted a fresh plate

installer is fucking broken

Go to forum, forum is broken also

Try tumbleweed instead

immediately breaks when trying to do nvidia drivers

try installing siduction manually through debian

debian fucking breaks

I have no idea why this is all happening, but im genuinely so close to just switching to arch or gentoo

Basically, ive been using sway on siduction linux (7.0.11-1) for a while now, but im starting to run into some issues having to stack different extensions like eww just to accomplish what i want, aswell as just a lack of visual customisation built in.

I'm considering switching to hyprland but i have some questions first:

- Can you build your own like task menus/bars natively into hyprland or is it also done through extensions like eww and custom scripts

- Whats the config like compared to sway, is it very similar for just editing keybinds and whatnot or is there an entirely different system

- How much comes preinstalled? You still get fonts and basic themes & whatnot right?

also just looking for advice generally, and anything i need to know

I currently use sway on siduction linux (7.0.11-1), its a custom setup which is basically:

​

Just looks like a CLI with no DE or WM, but when you open windows they appear above it

​

I have an eww task popup instead of a bar

​

​

Basically im just having some issues with workflow, windows constantly stacking above eachother and min/maxing them is a pain, also it just doesn't look great generally.

​

Any suggestions? I might try switching to hyprland

I have a lenovo X380 yoga laptop board that id like to make a holder for, but individually measuring the screwholes and mapping them out will be a nightmare, does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello, im building my own laptop from scratch (or nearly i guess) and im trying to use the thinkpad X380 mainboard as the basis for everything.

Ive been looking at upgrading the cooler so the blower fan isnt at 100% while just trying to compile, I have a noctua L9i lying around from a previous build and wanted to see if i could mount it but i cant really figure out a feasible way of doing it.

Getting it attached isnt the issue, i can just print an adapter for the attachment, i cant figure out how to actually get the two faces to make decent contact for heat transfer since the chip hardly protrudes from the board.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
