2024-09-21 09:44:37 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> hi, everyone, I use linux for two years, and i want to try my first Windows manager.My friends suggest me the xmonad ,But i can't Haskell programming
2024-09-21 09:44:39 +0000 <haskellbridge> I'm studying it now.Before use Xmonad
2024-09-21 09:45:09 +0000L29Ah(~L29Ah@wikipedia/L29Ah)
2024-09-21 11:00:13 +0000 <yaslam> yoyos12138: you do not need to know haskell programming to use xmonad
2024-09-21 11:00:47 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> why?
2024-09-21 11:00:55 +0000 <yaslam> i started using xmonad without any knowledge of haskell, just learnt the default keybinds and learnt a few things and now I have my own configuration
2024-09-21 11:01:35 +0000 <yaslam> yoyos12138: it is easy to configure it, you just have to learn the syntax which is all in the documentation but it is not hard
2024-09-21 11:02:15 +0000 <yaslam> you should first start by learning the keybinds
2024-09-21 11:05:07 +0000 <yaslam> yoyos12138: default keybinds cheatsheet, learn these: https://xmonad.org/images/cheat/xmbindings.png
2024-09-21 11:06:25 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> Thank you ()
2024-09-21 11:06:38 +0000 <yaslam> np
2024-09-21 11:07:22 +0000 <geekosaur> the TUTORIAL will take you through building up a config from scratch https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html
2024-09-21 11:07:38 +0000 <geekosaur> don't worry about the Haskell, it tells you what to do
2024-09-21 11:08:02 +0000 <geekosaur> later you can look at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/XMonad-Doc-Configuring.html
2024-09-21 11:08:57 +0000 <geekosaur> and contribs show you what you need to add to use them. you'll only really need to know Haskell if you decide to start adding your own features and maybe making contribs out of them
2024-09-21 11:09:15 +0000 <geekosaur> (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/XMonad-Doc-Extending.html)
2024-09-21 11:09:37 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> Actually when i decided to choose one Windows manager, i have two choice.The emacs Windows manager or the xmonad
2024-09-21 11:09:38 +0000 <haskellbridge> Both of them were used the functional programming to config,My cousin he very like haskell And Record to me.to use the application build with haskell
2024-09-21 11:10:11 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> Stupid voice input.()
2024-09-21 11:10:12 +0000 <geekosaur> I wouldn't use a window manager written in elisp. but you could use sawfish instead
2024-09-21 11:10:15 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> recommend
2024-09-21 11:10:40 +0000 <geekosaur> (emacs is pretty broken for things that need asynchronous event handling)
2024-09-21 11:10:55 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> ()
2024-09-21 11:12:49 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> It seems that it used elisp, but not use emacs?
2024-09-21 11:13:12 +0000 <geekosaur> if it's using elisp, it's running emacs somehow, possibly in batch mode
2024-09-21 11:13:27 +0000 <geekosaur> but it'll still do poorly because emacs simply isn't designed for such usage
2024-09-21 11:13:44 +0000 <geekosaur> sawfish is written, configured, and extended in a dialect of Scheme
2024-09-21 11:14:04 +0000 <geekosaur> and works very well, or at least did when I used it before switching to xmonad
2024-09-21 11:14:38 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> scheme(My friend tell me this language is not the lisp😂😂)
2024-09-21 11:14:47 +0000 <geekosaur> mm, not a good sign, the site's on a (broken) domain park page now 😞
2024-09-21 11:15:01 +0000 <geekosaur> elisp is a very poor lisp
2024-09-21 11:15:28 +0000 <geekosaur> even the FSF knows it, they've been working on a redesigned emacs with multithreading and based on Guile
2024-09-21 11:15:51 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> Ii did continue watch xmonad doc
2024-09-21 11:16:23 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> Thank you for your answer.
2024-09-21 11:20:16 +0000 <geekosaur> ah it moved here https://sawfish.tuxfamily.org/
2024-09-21 11:20:54 +0000 <geekosaur> rep is a fairly nice scheme with built-in X11 primitives
2024-09-21 11:21:43 +0000 <geekosaur> hm, apparently they stopped calling it a scheme, they just claim it's a lisp now
2024-09-21 11:22:34 +0000 <geekosaur> suppose they got yelled at because it's not R5RS much less R7RS
2024-09-21 11:43:05 +0000 <geekosaur> sadly, it looks pretty dead. last update 2011 aside from a "current versions" post in 2017
2024-09-21 11:43:22 +0000 <geekosaur> can't even find the rep contribs so I can see if my contribs are still in it 😞

2024-09-21 22:05:30 +0000 <haskellbridge> <yoyos12138> I have a question.Did the haskell had Wayland composer.
2024-09-21 22:18:24 +0000 <geekosaur> not yet
2024-09-21 22:21:18 +0000 <L29Ah> waymonad is
2024-09-21 22:21:30 +0000 <L29Ah> but xmonad is much better

2024-09-21 22:25:46 +0000L29Ahjust waits until wayland bitrots away
2024-09-21 22:27:03 +0000 <geekosaur> sadly, I think that's not going to happen, at least not entirely. X11 has actual problems, and any replacement that fixes them is going to look more like Wayland than like the X Window System
2024-09-21 22:27:24 +0000 <geekosaur> including any attempt to fix them within X
2024-09-21 22:27:36 +0000 <geekosaur> it needs to be completely re-architected
2024-09-21 22:38:59 +0000 <L29Ah> what problems? is there a good article i could read?
2024-09-21 22:39:34 +0000 <L29Ah> i'm not convinced wayland architecture is stellar either, with its callback buffer requesting stuff
2024-09-21 22:40:32 +0000 <L29Ah> and it doesn't matter much what interface you use if you mostly say "place my opengl/vulkan toybox here and get away", i think
2024-09-21 22:41:28 +0000 <geekosaur> the fundamental problem is that X is fundamentally designed with a Screen architecture which (a) can have its own resolution (b) _always_ has its own video memory, which cannot be shared with other Screens
2024-09-21 22:43:30 +0000 <geekosaur> you can work around the video memory issue with the Xinerama hack, but now you can't have different resolutions on each "screen" because that would mean different places on the root window having different resolutions, which X doesn't support (and in particular can't be wedged into X video drivers)
2024-09-21 22:43:37 +0000 <L29Ah> the Screen problem was mostly kludged away by xinerama-xrandr, i don't see how it's relevant today
2024-09-21 22:44:04 +0000 <geekosaur> I see it right now
2024-09-21 22:44:27 +0000 <L29Ah> and you can have different resolutions on each "screen", and you can fetch these from applications, that's exactly what xinerama, as a protocol, does
2024-09-21 22:44:38 +0000 <geekosaur> I have two monitors, the resolution is set by the default monitor, the resolution displayed on the external monitor is all jacked up and this can't be fixed
2024-09-21 22:45:17 +0000 <L29Ah> i don't understand what do you call "the resolution displayed on the external monitor is all jacked up"
2024-09-21 22:45:52 +0000 <geekosaur> and you can't tell if I take a screenshot because X thinks it's fine
2024-09-21 22:45:59 +0000 <L29Ah> if you mean applications not adjusting their sizes to the "screen" they're on, that's the application-side problem, as in "no one cares enough to ask X what's the DPI of the "screen" they sit on"
2024-09-21 22:46:12 +0000 <geekosaur> it actually looks reasonable in the screenshot. It's completely wrong on screen
2024-09-21 22:46:19 +0000 <geekosaur> no, this is not size
2024-09-21 22:46:40 +0000 <L29Ah> i'm out of guesses then
2024-09-21 22:46:42 +0000 <geekosaur> this is "fonts are way too big":. This is "the avatars in my Matrix window overlap each other".
2024-09-21 22:46:50 +0000 <L29Ah> yes, font size, etc
2024-09-21 22:47:00 +0000 <geekosaur> and you do not consider this an issue?
2024-09-21 22:47:06 +0000 <L29Ah> application thinks the size is of a Screen, while it should fetch the "screen" info instead
2024-09-21 22:47:12 +0000 <L29Ah> this is an issue, but not X-side
2024-09-21 22:47:33 +0000 <L29Ah> it's obsolete pre-Xinerama applications
2024-09-21 22:48:10 +0000 <geekosaur> nope
2024-09-21 22:48:19 +0000 <L29Ah> ?
2024-09-21 22:48:26 +0000 <geekosaur> if every application ever has to be rewritten then it's not fixed
2024-09-21 22:48:39 +0000 <L29Ah> every application ever has to be rewritten for wayland, duh
2024-09-21 22:48:52 +0000 <L29Ah> i'm not sure why some devs decided it's quicker to rewrite everything from scratch instead of patching up major toolkits to be xinerama-aware
2024-09-21 22:49:15 +0000 <geekosaur> which is why I started this with [21 22:27:02] <geekosaur> sadly, I think that's not going to happen, at least not entirely. X11 has actual problems, and any replacement that fixes them is going to look more like Wayland than like the X Window System
2024-09-21 22:49:15 +0000 <geekosaur> [21 22:27:24] <geekosaur> including any attempt to fix them within X
2024-09-21 22:49:54 +0000 <L29Ah> i don't see how this is relevant: xinerama doesn't look like wayland, and it's not a problem that needs fixing within X
2024-09-21 22:50:24 +0000 <geekosaur> pretty much every other X11 user sees it, though
2024-09-21 22:50:32 +0000 <geekosaur> perhaps this should suggest something?
2024-09-21 22:50:44 +0000 <L29Ah> did you make a poll or smth?
2024-09-21 22:51:25 +0000 <L29Ah> this suggests you don't have much to say if you resorted to argumentum ad populum
2024-09-21 22:51:42 +0000 <geekosaur> given that you've made up your mind, would you believe it if I did?
