  • Cosmic-comp is my second favorite after hyprland so far due to their tiling being quite well thought-out. The problem is, it’s part of a DE and is somewhat cumbersome to configure as a standalone compositor (can be fixed by patching libcosmic, tho), and also it’s quite bare-bones when it comes to features.

    Then there’s pinnacle which looks promising, but I haven’t yet tried to daily-drive it.

    Also, maybe qtile, which has a Wayland back-end.
















  • Sounds like one of the cells has died; fully agree that it’s best to replace the battery (given its 7th gen, I doubt it’s still under warranty).

    Alternatively, if you like tinkering with stuff just for the sake of it, you can replace the offending cell (often slightly expanded compared to the rest of them), or all 3/4 of them: in my experience, replacing only the dead one results in another one dying relatively soon after, but may still be a viable temporary solution if you’re short on money or have something of similar size lying around. Also, if you decide it sounds fun, be sure to look up how-to’s, as just disconnecting a cell will make most BMSes lock themselves + possibly burn the fuse, and you probably don’t want to play the game of “is this BMS unlockable without paying 100500 kilomoney for specialized equipment”
