Back to the distro-hopping!

I'm planning to install #Arch with #WindowMaker this time around. There's just something about that clean, functional UI that never gets oldβ€”the perfect blend of stability and that classic #NeXTSTEP aesthetic.

Does anyone still run Window Maker in 2026? How's the daily driver experience?

Also, looking for tips on customization. What are your go-to tools or dotfiles setups to make it truly yours?

#OpenBSD #WindowMaker #DockApps #sndiod

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there is a somebody out there who made it possible to use a #WindowMaker Mixer dockapp with #OpenBSD #sndiod.

GitHub - kngkeeper/SndioMixer.app: Port of the old Mixer.app dockapp for Window Maker to modern OpenBSD sndio.

This seems like an almost complete copy of the MacOS user interface.

It's using #GNUStep but not #WindowMaker

Interesting to see that it's being targeted as a #FreeBSD desktop environment, although of course it also runs on #Linux

@santiago Β‘Ah #WindowMaker! Un gestor de ventanas tan feo que es bellΓ­simo.
@debacle @florke64 @adbenitez #WindowMaker is the retro wm I would turn to on a Jurassic laptop, just saying.
#Windowmaker on a 5K display is ... fun. Especially when it's normally configured for a 2256x1504 laptop display.
