@inglfo darn tootin' - nice #emwm setup. I get tempted into CDE sometimes (because, you know, you can), but application manager and file manager really aren't worth it (apart from nostalgia reasons)
sometimes we need motif 馃浉

New year (well almost) and a new desktop manager on my trusty #workhorse of a laptop running #FreeBSD.

Feeling all #nostalgic and have a warm glow inside using Enhanced Motif Window Manger (#EMWM).

Who remembers Motif CDE and using fabulous systems like #HP_UX and Sun Sparc Workstations (to name a few)?

Gawd I miss those machines - happy days! 馃槉馃槉

Dear Doctor,

after having used #EMWM and #Hyprland for a long time on my #FreeBSD notebook, I have started to play around with #KDE #Plasma and I love it more and more.

Do I need to be afraid that I might have caught a #systemd, or even worse, a #Windows11 virus?

Yours truly

@alephoto85 yeah, getting to get used to use the key bindings and NOT to forget one ... That's the part. And if I have to to something fast ... I don't like to go through the inner fire, that appears when I get under pressure. ;)

I bet its fun and one day I will try ... Having a backup like you in parallel will be the way!

Looking at #Guix with #EMwm and #Scheme ... Now one introduced to the system could use it at all ... :D

#EMWM 1.2 has been released and is in ports now.

#CDE #EnhancedMotifWindowManager #X11 #xorg # FreeBSD #Motif

For those who are into #Motif on #FreeBSD: My #EMWM ports are part of the ports tree now and they should be part of the next quarterly package builds.

FreshPorts -- x11-wm/emwm: Enhanced Motif Window Manager

EMWM is a fork of the Motif Window Manager with fixes and enhancements. It provides compatibility with current xorg extensions and applications, without changing the way the window manager looks and behaves. This includes support for multi-monitor setups trough Xinerama/Xrandr, UFT-8 support with Xft fonts, and overall better compatibility with software that requires Extended Window Manager Hints.
