I’d be curious what you mean by more control/customizability for sway/i3. I’m using niri now, and came from sway, and haven’t really notice a difference in capabilities (although niri has easier animations and the overview). And now I’m wondering if I just wasn’t using/understanding sway to the max.

I think on my multi-monitor setup, sway is maybe slightly better suited, but on my laptop I’m definitely preferring niri–but open to finding out new things about other wms that I missed.

Initially I was going to dismiss it as a cool pet project for someone but not really likely to get any traction given the competition in the space–but there are a lot of people who are going to learn Lua as their first language through things like Roblox and other games, so I could actually see it grow as people who already know Lua move out of games and are looking for speed with familiar syntax.

That said, not for me. There are plenty of other languages out there I’m more likely to reach for.

Seconding Sway. I will admit I prefer autotiling (switching the split for new windows between horizontal/vertical automatically, rather than choosing which split you want), but overall Sway is so good in configuration that I still use it in spite of being a manual. The configuration takes time, but that’s common to pretty much any tiler.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the question is perhaps a bit of a weird answer–but I really want to learn SELinux. It’s completely overkill for my Linux desktop and the few services I run on my network. The same with OpenLDAP, I want to play around with it even though I have no real need for it with my setup, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

On that note, I also feel like I want to learn Ansible, or some other configuration management tool. The thing is, I haven’t even played around with it (or any others) enough to really even get what the intended use case is. I’m looking for ways to manage policies and configurations across multiple machines in a common way, but it feels like the more common use case is deploying webapps. So while it’s on my list of things I want to learn I don’t even have sufficient background at the moment.

Then, finally, the other thing that came to mind was timeshift–or really BTRFS snapshots in general. It would be nice to have that additional feeling of safety while playing around with my systems.
