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.
It’s two penny-farthings welded together back-to-back. It’s a freakbike for doing stunt-riding, which is still way closer to stuff like mountain biking and bmx than it is to ‘normal’ utility or road cycling.
And yes, he also owns a couple of Bromptons and has made the very occasional video on urban cycling. But that doesn’t make him the best channel for it. I’m not throwing shade on the guy; I’m just saying it’s just not his focus.
(He also doesn’t cover stuff like, say, pro cycling or MAMIL-style road cycling. I hesitate to mention GCN 'cause I think I’d get flamed if I called them the “best” at anything, but they definitely cover those topics more than Seth does.)
The point is, he covers a lot more than just mountain bikes.
