For me setting it up on MacOS was a terrible experience. No1: no homebrew tap! I'd be fine with that if there would be some downloadable binary builds. I'd even be fine if I had to build from source if there'd be a stable commit that 'just works'. I was entertaining the idea of writing a Homebrew tap for kmonad (it's wouldn't be that difficult), but this is where the real obstacles started to show up: Building with dext support was quite simple, but the
Without a stable version-tracked code (properly tagged, and released, without having to monkey-patch manually: #614) that works on MacOS and not having to downgrade other dependencies either (only running on an ancient dext version: #502), I don't think I'd start building a distribution-build for it, or even suggest anyone on MacOS of trying to use it, as getting it to work is a massive time-sink. The layers concept of kmonad is really nice, but with all that hassle it's not worth it on MacOS and I would recommend Karabiner+Goku for anybody on MacOS. The UX for Karabiner-Elements + Goku outweighs the massive inconvenience of setting up kmonad on Mac. I was coming in with really high hopes for kmonad, but left with the impression that this is a linux-only tool advertised with a very alpha MacOS support. Misleading advertising. |
