      So how do you like niri and is it stable enough to be a daily driver? Also what kind of screen do you have for it to be useful? I have a feeling that it’s extra useful on wide screens but when it comes to ones which are fairly high it’s less useful, is my assumption correct?

        Not OP, but I’ve been using Niri as my daily driver for almost two years (since v0.1.2). The stability and polish have really impressed me. In addition to the scrolling workflow it has some especially nice features for screen sharing & capturing, like key binds to quickly switch which window you are sharing, and customizable rules to block certain windows when showing your whole desktop.

        I do use a 40" ultrawide. Looking for options for getting the most out of an ultrawide was how I got into scrolling window managers.

        I only occasionally use my 13" laptop display. I still like scrolling because I like spatial navigation. Even if windows end up mostly or entirely off the screen I still think about my windows in terms of whether they’re left, right, up, or down from where I’m currently looking.

        I don’t like traditional tiling as much because I find squishing every window to be fully in view to be awkward; and with e.g. i3-style wms if I want to stash a window out of view, like in a tab that’s a separate metaphor I have to keep track of, with another axis where windows might be. Scrolling consistently uses on spatial metaphor, placing all windows on one 2D plane with one coordinate system.

    I run Manjaro, and use neovim for my development. I’ve got a slew of plugins for everything from language servers to database to things like integration with tmux and specialty motions.

    I’ve tried many development environments, but so far I keep coming back to nvim.

    I’ve been a fan for about 5 years at this point, and I use it for PHP+js+html at my day job and Rust for personal projects, but also any other language that comes up. Delightful to have one editor that can do basically everything and do it with consistent shortcuts, that I can even run on my phone with a folding keyboard.

      I try so hard to move away from this but I seem to always end up crawling back because something is missing or broken. DotRush is hopeful, though (assuming C#)

      Unfortunately, the alternatives are really lacking. JetBrains Rider REALLY feels underbaked. No deal-breaking issues, but lots of little low-impact ones, and lots of design decisions that go against common conventions, for no apparent reason. The “Visual Studio Mode” doesn’t really help.

      On top of that, I’ve had several issues with RUNNING Rider, on account of being on Bazzite, an immutable distro. It was fine on Mint, but Mint had its own troubles with my NVidia card.

        Visual Studio also feels really urderbaked IMO. I had my issues with navigation, UI and Vim mode. Debugger experience with Edit and Continue was pretty amazing though.

    Linux Mint. No IDE – I just use xed (a fork of gedit) + gnome-terminal, both of which ship with the distro. Only plugin I use regularly for xed is “Code Comment” which lets you comment/uncomment blocks of code quickly.

    Windows with PythonWin (like IDLE) for most stuff, VSCode for vibe coding, even though I haven’t explored it much. I still need to figure out how to get local coding models running so I can compare them to whatever online AI comes with VS.
    Plus a Mac with TextMate.

    • NixOS
    • Hyprland (pending migration to Niri)
    • Emacs (eglot)

    I occasionally use Jetbrains products as well (e.g. maintaining Kotlin projects).

    Arch Linux (BTW) is my main/dev OS, but also Windows 10 VM for certain projects.

    For simple scripting in any language: VSCodium

    PyCharm, Android Studio for projects in specific languages.

    For other full projects: VSCodium

    As for testing/deploying projects, I have a QEMU dev VM that’s connected to my IDEs using shared folders running basic Arch with fresh install of KDE Plasma.

    Plugins mainly consist of QoL features, linting for certain languages in VSCodium, themes, etc.

    I work for a company whose product is built on dotnet. I worked in Windows for a long time but with the shitshow that is 11, I switched to Mac at my last hardware refresh. Linux isn’t an option here yet, but we host in Linux, so I hope it will be an option eventually.

    Rider, the only extension I wouldn’t want to live without is IdeaVim.

    • NixOS + Home Manager
    • Niri
    • Kitty
    • Neovim, via Neovide

    For work it’s Fedora + Home Manager because the remote admin software doesn’t support NixOS. Thankfully I’ve been able to define my dev environment almost fully in a Home Manager config that I can use at work and at home.

    I use lots of Neovim plugins. Beyond the basic LSP and completion plugins, some of my indispensables are:

    • Leap for in-buffer navigation & remote text copying
    • Oil for file management
    • Fugitive + Git Signs + gv.vim + diffview.nvim for git integration
    • nvim-surround to add/change/remove delimiters
    • vim-auto-save
    • kitty-scrollback

        Home Manager is a Nix tool for managing configuration for a single user, usually on a Linux or MacOS system, or possibly WSL. You configure installed programs, program configuration (such as dot files), and a number of other things, and you get a reproducible environment that’s easy to apply to multiple machines, or to roll back configuration, etc. I find it helpful for having a clear record of how everything is set up. It’s the sort of thing that people sometimes use GNU Stow or Ansible for, but it’s much more powerful.

        A Home Manager configuration is very similar to a NixOS configuration, except that NixOS configures the entire system instead of just configuring user level stuff. (The lines do blur in Nix because unlike traditional package managers where packages are installed at the system level, using Nix packages can be installed at the system, user, project, or shell session level.) Home Manager is often paired with NixOS. Or on Macs Home Manager is often paired with nix-darwin. As I mentioned, the Home Manager portion of my config is portable to OSes other than NixOS. In my case I’m sharing it in another Linux distro, but you can also use Home Manager to share configurations between Linux, MacOS, and WSL.
