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

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

[–] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

lol I got them for free

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

2080 TI.

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

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The nvidia didn't work. I'll try dkms next time I reinstall arch. Thank you.

I see i3, I upvote

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

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Those are 2 monitors

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Oh I’m dumb

[–] kapitol@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] kapitol@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

yep yep, OP was using 'windows' as in program viewports, not the OS hahah

and yeah, i3 won't run on Windows. there are some hacky implementations though, like FancyWM which just work on top of Explorer

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you can still do it on smaller monitors

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I can, but I wouldn't be able to read anything.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.run 2 points 1 month ago

Still needs a lot of juggling haha. Too true.
