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.

lol I got them for free

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You shouldn't have to. It's about time there's a good FOSS alternative for the existing VTTs.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

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

[-] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

2080 TI.

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

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

I see i3, I upvote

[-] iamascaryvampire@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Those are 2 monitors

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

I'm running?! Shit ... uh ... save vs death.

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 3 months ago

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

[-] sharpiewater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Oh I’m dumb

[-] kapitol@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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 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.

[-] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

you can still do it on smaller monitors

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.run 2 points 3 months ago

Still needs a lot of juggling haha. Too true.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 months ago

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