The text doesn't show up when you type in a password, but it still registers it. Instead of showing asterisks it just doesn't show anything, but you are entering a password. Just type the password blind and press enter.

When I'm using a tiling window manager, I use kitty, because I like its speed and support for font ligatures. When I'm using a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE I usually don't use the terminal at all, but if I need it, I use the default emulator.

You can't just post a link to a GitHub repo without a README and no description, I don't want to look at your code and try to figure out what it does.

Yes, it's true, the linux foundation is less about linux, but more about "Decentralized innovation" (Directly from their website). I don't think that's a bad, thing, as it's also important to create open source software for other platforms and other technology.

I don't know if I'm correct, but in my head, a window manager JUST manages windows. Gnome and KDE also manage windows, but they also contain applications for settings, printing, etc. Desktop Environments also have window managers, but they have more applications on top.

  • Yes, you can absolutely use a WM without a DE. A DE is usually just a set of preconfigured and pre-installed applications. If you use a WM like i3 etc. you just get something that draws windows, and no settings and bluetooth applications
  • It influences my choosing because window managers usually don't come with a terminal, and you have to manually install a terminal emulator. But on desktop environments I use the default terminal, although I could also install kitty.

You're welcome!

Neither, actually. I don't know why I call myself silva, but that's not my real name.

Why do you need multiple files to configure zsh? Does it have that many config options?
