I’ve been using #DWM for more than a year without major issues. I like that it’s written in C as I can easily understand it’s code and configure it to my liking.
But due to its multiple limitations with fullscreen apps I’m being forced to move back to #Xmonad.
#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.
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.
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) 😜 #archlabs#dwm#voidlinux
