A minimal desktop setup.

Info:

  • Programs: Emacs, Devdocs, pfetch, imv
  • WM: Hikari
  • OS: Void linux
  • Art by: Escher
  • Dotfiles

Recently switched from Guix to Void, mostly because it’s much simpler and I felt that my desktop didn’t need the complexity of Guix.

    I think it’s very underrated. It has some features I really appreciate:

    • Tiling features when needed, W+l s tiles everything when I need it.
    • Great shortcuts, like go to next busy desktop, maximize height of window
    • Holding win reveals the title of the window.
    • Cursor follows active window

    It matches my workflow very well.

      Does it work well for you? I used cwm on X11 (fairly similar to Hikari), but last time I tried Hikari on Void I kept running into weird issues.

        Yeah I’d say so.

        The only issues I’ve had is that pinch-to-zoom and fractional scaling does not work (but easily solvable).

          It looks like hikari developement has stalled a bit, are you using a fork or something like that? Great setup btw:)

            Thanks! Hmm, could be that it has stalled, though it’s working great for me so I don’t really know if it’s a problem. I’m using the main repo.
