If you're using #xmonad on #freebsd, are trying to update to 0.18.1, have gcc installed, and are getting errors in `cabal build` about an unsupported flag for `ar`, then the the problem may be that gcc's `ar` is being used instead of llvm's `ar`. It can be worked around by adding `--with-ar=/usr/bin/ar` to the `cabal build` call. 🎉

@vbabka @poni yeah, well...

I'll play with it at some point as well. If it can really be scripted then maybe that's all I need?

But then gnome-shell can also be scripted and it's an absolute pile of dogshit.

(people on #xmonad@libera have since returned back to xmonad from Wayland something but it's very personal - some actually like xmonad's layouts, some are there only for the flexibility and are better served by something else as long as it's flexible enough)

Said goodbye to #XMonad today on my development machine. It's been a good run, but #Wayland is coming to replace #XServer and it doesn't look like XMonad is coming to the other side.

So far feeling fairly okay with #Niri, though of course the beginning is always stumbly and I've yet to drive it in an actual workflow. And many of the keybinding defaults are some flavour of disaster in my locale, but that's a given with a lot of tech. Little bit at a time, this will become more usable. Especially after I also finally ditch the big tech OS on my daily driver later this week. This whole smaller migration was a preliminary task for that.

A new version of my setup. Isn't in GitHub for now.

I have a tiling window manager with only 52 lines of code to be (in my view) perfect, efficient and stable.

The computer is a tool to assist you on your workflow.

Whatever you have, you ironed out to work smoothly.

To change to the newest (some still with unresolved issues) does not make sense.

A stable and efficient workflow is the first priority, at least, for me.

Currently working on getting #Xmonad to play nice on #LinuxMint. I have been able to do this very successfully on Ubuntu but so far having some trouble on Mint. The goal is Xmonad plus other tools (polybar, dunst, blueman, etc...) as the only DE. Very lean.

This year is the year where I am using 18 years #xmonad as window manager on computers.

#Wayland is there and probably xmonad will be unusable at some point in the future. But until now it was the most stable, fast and usable window manager I have used. It never crashed in all those years and I have changed the configuration only once because something has changed in an extension I used.

Thank you for the past.years.
