Also, it's probably easier to install gnome now and configure network here, rather than do it on your proper system later and have to fuck with iwd once you reboot - some people have issues with networking outside of the iso

scarlet wagon Jun 22, 2025, 9:15 AM

anything with -- or - is an argument to a program you're running

scarlet wagon Jun 22, 2025, 9:22 AM

scarlet wagon Jun 22, 2025, 9:22 AM

So you must've installed it at least 6+ years ago

#

Or screwed something up

snow breach Jun 22, 2025, 9:23 AM

Uhh what's next

scarlet wagon Jun 22, 2025, 9:23 AM

scarlet wagon window manager and all that shit will automatically get installed

Tiling manager i meant

scarlet wagon Jun 22, 2025, 9:37 AM

#

the big difference between gnome and kde are the software toolkits installed on top of the WM

#

theres QT and GTK

#

plasma/kde is QT

#

gnome is GTK

snow breach Jun 22, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

Ohkohk

#

So where do i3, sway and hyprland come in

#

Done btw

scarlet wagon Jun 22, 2025, 9:39 AM

You can, just don't mix KDE with GNOME because it will fuck up your configuration files. Others shouldn't, but if you just wanna test and fool around, it may be best to make a separate user account for a specific DE
