Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement - davatorium/rofi
I've used Openbox as a minimal DE replacement for years, with Tint2 as panel and pseudo launcher. When I switched to EndeavourOS a couple of years ago Rofi came pre-installed along with those as window switcher, search and app launcher.
At the time it seemed superfluous and I just flat out uninstalled it, but now I'm coming around to maybe ditching Tint2 (and the stodgy old JGmenu that EndeavourOS uses) in favour of using Rofi as a search based launcher and menu.
I can imagine it'll be an abrupt transition but my question for the more seasoned Rofi users out there is, what should I look out for and what are your immediate caveats?
I've been using Rofi for a few years. I can't think of anything to look out for, pretty much does what it says on the tin.
Nice, I'll see if it can replace ye olde taskbar standard for me 👍
I guess it's not relevant for your setup, but I like rofi because there is a fork that works in Wayland, and it's the only Wayland window switcher I have found that isn't tied to a specific window manager.
Oh no, I'm not Wayland ready yet. I still use Openbox for crying out loud 🤣 Tried and true still works for me but I'll give Rofi a shot!
I like tofi as a wayland alternative. Unfortunately like so many of these projects it seems to be somewhat recently unmaintained.
