I wanted something between dwindle and scrolling, so I built **Stage Layout**: a real tiling layout where the window you're working in sits alone in the middle and every other window on the workspace becomes a thumbnail in columns on the left and right.

What it does:

• Adds a third step to SUPER + L: dwindle → scrolling → stage

• Click a thumbnail (or press SUPER + Z) to swap it into the middle, and nothing else moves

• ALT + TAB steps through windows in the order you opened them

• SUPER + - and SUPER + = widen or narrow the middle window; the freed space fills with more, smaller columns (great on ultrawides)

• With the optional bundled Hyprland plugin, thumbnails are real scaled-down miniatures instead of tiny re-laid-out apps

It's a Hyprland 0.56 Lua layout, packaged as an Omarchy plugin, and it doesn't touch your hyprland.lua. Install it with:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/Sulejman/omarchy-stage --enable

Remove it with:

omarchy plugin remove io.github.sulejman.stage

Plugin marketplace: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=io.github.sulejman.stage

Repo: https://github.com/Sulejman/omarchy-stage

Feedback welcome, especially from ultrawide and multi-monitor setups. I've mostly tested on a 16:10 laptop panel.

It's taken a lot of work to get here.

what ya think ?

Want a Rubik's Cube in your terminal?

I made one.

No dependencies just python and a terminal.

It scrambles itself, spins around, solves itself, and does it again.

Try it out!

https://github.com/ethanlabs101/TermiCube

my goals for my dots were always the following: 1.) as few dependencies as possible (bloat-free) 2.) desktop friendly 3.) minimal terminal usage where possible 4.) make it look nice

the idea of being desktop friendly (for me) really just means "can i use it exclusively with a mouse"? sometimes you just want to kick your feet up and use your primary hand to navigate your system only. right click the top-right corner of an app to close it, run a system update and toggle workspaces all from your mouse. every possible system command or toggle you want can be found with the mouse. don't worry, everything has a keybind as well if you want.

your system settings are pretty much all managed either through custom shell scripts or TUI-based packages. the terminal should be used as little as possible ideally so all major settings, daemon-reloads and more are found in the system menu. there are times where i flat out just don't open up a terminal at all.

the theme engine helps blend everything all together, giving each theme a unique color palette that applies to many packages due to the TUI nature of the dots.

if you're interested, the dots are here.

Back at my parents' place, had this computer before I moved out. I spent a couple of days setting up Debian and a user account for myself, since Windows was unusable on it.

Wanted to make use of AppImage applications simpler, so wrote gnome-appimage-integration.
Reduces an AppImage install (er, integration) to three clicks.

• Github: gnome-appimage-integration
• Weblog: Better integration of AppImage

Tried to handle all the usual edge cases and XDG / FreeDesktop conventions.

Right-click context menu for downloaded file:

Main AppImage Activator window:

Status after Integrate:

Right-click context menu for application:

Downloaded AppImage is moved into $HOME/Applications/
so no manual cleanup needed.

I had gotten a new laptop and after setting it up, I made this simple setup in a day for now, i might switch to niri or sway later. I had to get a new laptop after the last laptop motherboard i had its ram slots fail

a friend said it was a "unique setup" and that i should post it

Declarative NixOS config: Hyprland, DankMaterialShell, one consistent look across native apps, Flatpak and AppImages.

Distro: Slackware Linux x86_64 (kernel 7.2.4)
DE: KDE Plasma 6.7.5 on Wayland
Theme / Icons: Breeze-Dark, candy-icons
Terminal / Shell: Konsole, bash 5.3.20
Resolution: 3440×1440

same as title!

Running Slackware current, first pic showing two conkys, one in the middle and one as a dashboard. Second pictures shows sbopkg and slackpkg GUI.

I work with LOTS of tmux sessions, and wanted something closer to how Ctrl+Shift+P in VSCode works: fuzzy search, frecency and live preview. So, I built Natare (from latin “to swim”)

After a 2 year hiatus on Win11 it's good to be back on Linux.
