I used to always bounce back and forth between Gnome, Plasma, Sway and Hyprland.
I love tiling compositors, but I also love having a fully functional desktop without stitching together two dozen different tools and configuring each separately. I got better things to do than edit text files for days.
And I think I found my holy grail: niri with Dank Material Shell.
DMS really is something else. A fully-fledged DE that sits on top of a tiling wayland compositor, with a workflow similar to Gnome and GUI customization options similar to Plasma.
I realize I’m shilling hard here, but I don’t even know the guy who made it. I’m just genuinely floored by the project’s quality.
That looks pretty nice! Next time I play around, I’ll have to try that. I’ve got Cinnamon dialed in pretty well at the moment on my main desktop. And I finally got LXQt, Openbox, and Picom to a state I’m happy with on my turd of a laptop. Can you put the panel on the bottom?
Yes, click on the clock, then Settings -> Dankbar -> Settings -> Position -> Bottom
