People,
First thing - I have not looked at a tiling window manager since the
days of the 0.9 kernels! I have been using XFCE for a couple of decades
now but have really been hanging out for Wayland to become stable enough
for my daily WS. Recently, after upgrading to F34 I checked out W+Gnome
but Gnome drove me crazy; I tried W+KDE which restored nearly all the
functionality and configuring I had with Xorg+XFCE - but I was still not
happy - it was a little unstable and much slower to start things up . .
so I installed Sway - and although it has only been barely a week - I
love it! It is very fast and has been very stable so far. With ten
workspaces going it allows me to work the way I want to. So I will just
post here when I can't work out from the available info how to do
something - as my new environment evolves.
First Q:
I use Chrome for "standard" windows, FireFox for webmail and Brave as
the "workhorse" for everything else - I would like my config to load a
bunch of stuff whenever I go to that particular workspace . . IF they
have not been already opened . . ie NOT load all the workspaces at once
when Sway first starts - that would cause a LOT of disk thrashing.
Currently my setup is:
1 root terminals
2 phr terminals
3 Chrome with "standard" windows - normally managed with the TabFern
extension
4 FF
5 Brave - current ToDo stuff
6 Brave - off on tangents . .
7 Multimedia - mpv, audacity, qasmixer +
8 Telegram
9 Hexchat +
10 Remote terminals
I would normally open these workspaces in the order above - is there a
way to do what I want so after bootup I go to each workspace in turn and
the required apps start up automatically? (if they haven't done so
already).
Thanks!
Phil.
