#nhk is a modal, keyboard-driven desktop environment based on and extending the functionality of #dwm (dynamic window manager), developed by suckless. i'm ironing out some rough edges to allow careful management of screen space and increased workflow speed.

Gentoo with dwm

#gentoo #archlabs #dwm

On my n-th try to get #nixos to work for me I came across #dwm, which I used regularly years (more like decades) ago. Back then I got annoyed the the constant recompiling to change configuration amd moved on to another tiling wm*. Now on NixOS this feels like a natural fit. Just throw a patch into your nix repo and apply it using the nix dwm configuration. It's all code anyway. I think I'm very close to something which works for me...

  • IIRC I went on to write a extensive fvwm2 configuration to make it behave like a tiling vm - because it was part of the OpenBSD base system.

Found an old private gist from 2020 when I was running
Slackware 14.2 with a minimalist desktop.

JWM + st + slock + sxiv + nnn
and vim in the console.

Funny to see how some tools stayed with me to this day.
Now it's mostly dwm + st + neatvi + noice + slock + slstatus

#slackware #dwm


Kernel upgraded to Linux 6.19.6 on Slackware.
System stable so far... Rachael Tyrell from Blade Runner keeping an eye on things.

#slackware #kernel #dwm #st #slackfetch #nvi #neatvi
Simplified slstatus to what I actually use. Keybinds for applications back from sxhkd into config.def.h. Keys good again, VoidLinux updated. Thanks to the collective hangover after Tet I could do all this at work. Productive (finally) 😜

we are so vulkan v1.2

i am sending this from a laptop which came out 10 years ago (my previous one is from 15 years ago), the specifications are maybe twice as bad so i am using alpine linux and wayland to compensate, it has vulkan and the battery holds a charge though, so it is more of a trade-off than a downgrade

@kzimmermann look i did it, desktop alpine

I'm giving #XFCE on #linuxmint a new try these days after a few months on Cinnamon and I'm generally impressed! 1. Almost as snappy and responsive as #dwm, low RAM usage, great for my old laptop. 2. Has a lot of functionality and customizability and looks great after some tweaking. But I have issues switching between light and dark modes, switching GTK theme leaves apps (web browser specifically) stuck in dark mode and it's quite stubborn. Any tips? #linux
