Using the I3 tiling windows manager, pair that with a dual monitor setup and it really makes running dnd and doing other work so much better

Pretty much the most use I got out of running 2 monitors at once. Sadly, my group never gets together anymore :(

You mean I3-WM? It's the windows manager I use and it is a thing on Linux. Its a thing that requires config file editing and time to learn but its like super useful for a fast workflow and its light on system resources. It is what makes the management of all my stat blocks so easy.

Hold the phone i3wm runs on windows? Guess that's what I'm tinkering with for the next while. I wonder how much of my linux config carries over.

If it does I would not know. I wasn’t saying i3 runs on windows, I was saying i3 is a window manager.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Oops I totally misread. Windows doesn't have wm that you can swap out like x11 afaik so I don't think i3 would work there. Might be some other similar software though.

No, I was making a death save. That's how my dice have been rolling lately...

Oh I’m dumb

Still needs a lot of juggling haha. Too true.

That's a lot of Drow. Don't trust them, especially the Priestess of Lolth.

I'm getting pretty serious monitor envy.

I have a similar setup: one monitor for the VTT and video, the other for notes and character sheets. But my monitors aren't nearly as large, so I can't get the fancy tiling.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

you can still do it on smaller monitors

I see i3, I upvote

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you can afford those monitors, you can afford Foundry.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

lol I got them for free

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What size monitor is that? It looks bigger than a 49

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Those are 2 monitors

Damn, thats nice. Might not abandon the idea of i3 on my desktop once I chuck this nvidia card.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It really is incredible. Also nnvidia did make open source drivers for Linux, though I don’t know what model you have.

2080 TI. I love the arch wiki but with Nvidia drivers it felt like that how to draw an owl guide. Instead of trying harder I'm just abandoning nvidia.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

2080 TI.

pacman -S nvidia or nvidia-dkms should work for you
