R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:<p>Kinda frustrated with the state of <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/desktops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>desktops</span></a> in <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> / <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/bsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> / <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Unix</span></a></p><p>You can either have a fully functional, but kind of frustrating-to-use (too mouse-centric) desktop with Gnome or KDE Plasma, or you can have a lean, efficient, and fast wm/compositor like <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/i3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>i3</span></a>, <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sway</span></a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/awesomewm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>awesomewm</span></a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/evilwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evilwm</span></a>, <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/cwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cwm</span></a>, <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/bspwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bspwm</span></a>, or whatever you like, BUT you will <em>constantly</em> be scratching your head when <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/gtk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK</span></a> programs either start very slowly or refuse to run at all, and are constantly trying to figure out what combination of configuration, daemon, and small animal sacrifices are necessary to do what the big, bloated desktops do automatically.</p><p>It's freaking exhausting, and I want to go back to the days that every one just ran <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/icewm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IceWM</span></a>, <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/enlightenment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Enlightenment</span></a>, or <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/windowmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowMaker</span></a>.</p><p>P.S., Just for clarity, I really do love <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/plasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plasma</span></a>. I think it's a wonderful, easy-to-use, <em>and</em> extremely flexible desktop. But sometimes I really don't want a desktop, I just want a lean-and-basic UI that stays out of my way (for home stuff vs. work stuff, generally).</p>
It's a me, Mauro<p>I managed to move to <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/AwesomeWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AwesomeWM</span></a> from <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/dwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dwm</span></a>, after discovering that <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/suckless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>suckless</span></a> folks are a bunch of nazis.<br>Also, I had some stability issues that with all the C patching were hard to debug.<br>I gotta say dwm's workflow and defaults are just great, though, and I HAD to replicate most of it in Awesome.</p><p>It's not a minimalistic wm, it has so many features by default but such a great documentation though.</p><p>The problem is that I'm definitely not a fan of <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lua</span></a>, but I'll take it over nazis anytime. <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
