It’s like throwing all your garbage under the dirty bed and covering it with pretty blanket.
I fully expect a Windows update to break this somehow. Good for this dev though and it’ll be nice to have this software out there. Hopefully they don’t have to fight against Microsoft’s bullshit just to grow a user base.
Anyone who uses this should be considering switching to Linux though. Maybe that’s the dev’s long game. :b
I’m locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.
I don’t recall where I said everyone should or can switch. If you’re feeling pressured that’s not on me.
Anyone who uses this should be considering switching to Linux though.
I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.
I’m aware, that’s why I specifically phrased it as a consideration and not, like, “wow, those people are dumb and should switch to Linux immediately!”
Again, if you feel a certain way about my comment and think it said something it didn’t, that’s not on me.
Nice, love to see more alternatives in this space. I’m currently using GlazeWM, which provides an i3-like experience on Windows. To the ones saying ‘just switch to Linux’, I used Linux full-time for many years but switched back to use Windows-only software, and a tiling WM and a package manager like Scoop goes a long way in making it more bearable.
I wasn’t aware of GlazeWM before, so thanks for giving me something else to check out.
Ooh, thanks for the GlazeWM shout, that’s awesome. I use vim keybinds in as many programs as I can and that is awesome for switching between the browser and terminal or text editor.
Does it still have issues with the Office suite? Like Excel just flat out dropping the ribbon and window decorations?
The reviews for this are really bad
Looks like a user issue to me.
This is absolutely nuts—even macOS doesn’t have a single program that does all of this.
Haven’t heard about the “PolyForm Strict License” before. It looks to be a young project, yet feature rich.
It’s another fake open source license. While source code is public under the license, you can’t modify or republish so if the project decides to sell you are fucked.
v1.9.6 release change the license from MIT to PolyForm Strict License 1.0.0 which removes ability to re-publish and make changes to the project. In the day when fake open source projects sell out daily, it’s a good sign to avoid this project.
You are correct, I somehow got confused… It was v1.2.0 release, I updated my original post. The release didn’t even mention the license change. https://github.com/eythaann/Seelen-UI/releases/tag/v1.2.0
Has anyone tried it?
OK but have you ran x11 on Ubuntu inside WSL from the Windows terminal?
WSL is the only way I’ll use Windows for work.
I actually tried this today. My computer has 3 monitors. This program crashes really hard if you have more than one monitor. Maybe we it’s good otherwise, but I’ve uninstalled.
Oh cool, gonna install this in my Windows 10 VM under Linux :)
why didn’t i find a youtube video displaying this project? it’s very interesting
I think this replaces windows Explorer shell
Just like Litestep used to.
This seems cool, but hasn’t Windows 11 started blocking some different apps that replace parts of the UI?
it you’re messing with desktop environments and tiling window managers it sounds like you probably know enough to just use Linux instead with any of the hundreds of DEs and WMs
Yes, as soon as all software you use in windows becomes cross platform. Big no-no if you use anything Adobe. Yes, there are good alternatives to Adobe, but if your colleagues use Adobe and you need software to work with their files, then maybe tiling window managers in windows is more realostic than just using linux.
