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.

dwm & Artix linux

#dwm #artix #archlabs

#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) 😜
