Do any of you guys you surf browser from suckless?

use*

No because it is horrible

I prefer w3m with tabbed.

Reminder that minimalism is NOT about having little shit installed, it's about not having more than you need.
A system with 2000 packages is not bloated if you do use all that software regularly and you installed them yourself.

>X_window_managers
How can we move past this hurdle using the minimal amount of patches?

Browsers in general are bloated.
I recommend Icecat cause at least it's not botnet

do you have the build dependencies?
i think dwm relies on gcc. Not sure.

Dwm works out of the box with BSD's clang. So I don't think it needs gcc.

Here's the line the compiler complains about.

if you are going with musl and tcc
might as well use tiny window manager
lol

incise.org/tinywm.html

which web browser are you going with on that musl, tcc set up

Honestly, routers are pretty bloat.
Just think of it, there are many attack surfaces. People can snoop your traffic, hack your router, hack your wifi password etc etc.

I might give it a try. Currently I just want to check if my current setup works properly on musl.

I'll give Surf a try. See if I can tweak it so it works like a lighter qutebrowser.
