I've recently made the switch back to using a pure Wayland tiling window manager on my Linux machine, which has been great for personal organization and performance. I've been a big fan of the sway window manager for some time (and swayfx fork for the fun eye candy).
However, after visiting the source code repository lately and seeing that some of the last few commits have had help from Claude and other AI tools, I've been less than enthused about it.
It's been about a year since I started building and maintaining the Drupal service integration for NixOS, and the next nixpkgs stable release is comming up this May, so it seems like a good time to take stock and talk about what has been going on with this project in that time.
I recently got a hold of a piece of software that I had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of for some time. It came in the mail via USB flash drive and proudly advertised that it would only work on Windows and Mac OSX. Knowing a thing or two about computers, I (perhaps, over-) confidently ignored these instructions and set out to make it work on Linux.
