I just tried out dwm

Or sway if you want to avoid using the rootkit formerly know as X.org

this, minimal tools for minimal brains

ST is unironically pretty good (better than dwm)

The absolute state of nu-g. No wonder these faggots dont know how to program and dont have any compilers installed on their computers.
Dotfiles severally cripple with what you can configure. Using I3 is no different than using Gnome 3, except instead of clicking buttons you change true/false in your dotfile.
All the best window managers (xmonad, dwm, etc) are customised by editing the source code like a white man.

>Dotfiles severally cripple with what you can configure.
Why?
>Using I3 is no different than using Gnome 3,
This is the most retarded thing I have read
>All the best window managers (xmonad, dwm, etc)
That's subjetive.
>are customised by editing the source code like a white man.
Do you also mown your garden with napalm too?

>toggling some options is the same as modifiying source code written in an actual programming language and possibilities are endless.

In i3 you can only change some predefined constraints just like gnome 3, in dwm you can make and create whatever you want and then compile it.

Yes, I know that you can modify the program behaviour with the source code.
If you want to be more specific you can do the same with any kind of FOSS program, but you don't do that everyday.
That's why listing "configuration via source code" as feature is, in my book, the equivalent to selling napalm to prune plants.

You actually fell for the suckless meme?

Protip: anyone recommending that shit or anything that is a time sink to configure is either trolling or stupid.

I use xfce at home and windows at work. Do you really think I want to spend a weekend tweaking MUH BLEEDAN EDGES or MUH MINIMUL DESTAWP? Hell, I don't even want to waste an hour doing that shit. I want to have time to code or go see a movie not compile Xorg from source.

Don't be a fucking retard. Your choice of operating system and window manager is not a smelly religion for people to argue about. It's software. Either use it or don't.

Software is meant to make your life easier. It supposed to help you get shit done. If you have to recompile something to configure it then its objectively shit. Modifying behavior of software is easily doable with a domain specific language (dotfiles) or an embedded LISP like Emacs. Seriously it's not fucking hard.

You motherfuckers are just the worst.

10/10 would rage again

Another instance of a ricer fag fighting against dwm instead of letting it do its thing.

You absolute retard just use default dwm like every straight white man. No need to "tweak MUH BLEEDAN EDGES".

wow a window manager meant for C programmers expected you to use C how offensive

You do realize you need a compiler toolchain on any GNU based system right? You need a dynamic linker to link to Xorg.

> Forces you to have a C compiler
I assume you mean something like clang, but if you aren't specifically referring to that, you are a dipshit

minimalism is great for some things, but a lot of retards use it too much like suckless.org fools.

>calls me a retard
>uses dwm unironically

Really? I use xfce and Ubuntu because shit just works out of the box for my hardware.

If you want to waste time getting hard-ons compiling your window manager then be my guest dude. I won't stop you.

I live in the world of getting shit done. Last time I compiled anything I was paid to do it as part of a build release team.

Yeah man, typing make install and waiting literally 2 seconds for dwm to compile is such a huge waste of time. I could've spent that time posting on Jow Forums instead.

I'm using de-GNU'd Linux, faggot. Fuck RMS.

dmenu is ok, rofi is better

2 seconds I'm not gonna waste on suckless software. Stay mad neet

Go back to work Rajesh

It takes literally the same amount of time to recompile dwm that it takes to reload your i3 config after you change it.

Tiny C Compiler, its really small.

>having dotfiles means that it's physically impossible to also edit the source code

Nothing in this thread made me mad except this. Take your (you) and get off my board

white and based

Come on Luke. You'll figure it out.

don't fall to minimalism meme, just use stuff that functional for you

Then use something scriptable like Awesome. Really anything I need to code in i3 can be done with shell scripts. Or whatever language is appropriate. I literally have a script that edits the config file to change the font size and reloads it. Cant do that on suck tools.

Having to modify the source is fucking retarded. Among other problems you get no automatic updates or package manager support.

Its made for tryhards. Just use URXVT.
st is for nerds with too much time on their hands and it offers no benefit.

Hello Uriel, back from the grave?

You *do* realize computers can serve purposes other than programming, right?

>Using I3 is no different than using Gnome 3
Jesus fucking Christ. THIS is the state of nu-Jow Forums, not expecting software to work by itself.

dwm is god tier

>Dotfiles severally cripple with what you can configure.
They don't. As long as the program is FOSS, you can edit its source code to suit your needs just as you can with dwm. Vanilla i3 doesn't have gaps, so someone made i3-gaps, for example.
However, being REQUIRED to so for basic configuration such as changing colors, fonts, etc. is pure autism.

>this is the absolute worst piece of software I've ever used.

Welcome to Gnu/Linux world.

Agreed. That's my only problem with sxiv (not from suckless, but follows their philosophy): functionality-wise, I much prefer it to feh, its thumbnail mode is superior, but still, it requires configuration via source code. In fact, I was thinking about forking it.

>Jesus fucking Christ. THIS is the state of nu-Jow Forums, not expecting software to work by itself.
This happends when you let trannies in and not keep Jow Forums strictly as natsoc board like it used to be

A dynamic linker is not a compiler.

Have a you

Hood goy

I think i3 is minimal enough.
There is no point in going further if it make your experience worse.

On my "minimal" desktop years ago I had 40-50 mb of ram on framebuffer and 60-70 mb on i3wm.
i3wm takes literally 12mb of ram IIRC.
You can run i3 desktop on literally ancient machines.

I've never understood why people strive for some imaginary superior thing.

Ranger on the other hand is slow as fuck (python), so nnn is superior being a little more minimal.
When I tried it first time (2.1) it wasn't that good for me.
But when I tried it again (2.4) it improved greatly.

If people consider more minimal software better, then use fucking screen instead of tmux.
Screen is shit, but more minimal as well.

screen install size is bigger than tmux

Suckless? More like Suckass.

kek

Why are you not programming?

Why should I?

Awesome is extremly bloated.
The whole point of DWM is to have clean, lean and fast code, without unnecessary bloat.

Because you're using dwm?

lol

yikes! why are you using such an old kernel?

because op is a techlet

You have way bigger problems than dwm there, mate.

wrong - st is the best

Just go away bloatfag

>Using I3 is no different than using Gnome 3
wrong gnome literally rapes your hdd because it writes to disk at any single change
try their irc client for an extreme example of that

READ THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dwm is a proof of concept and nothing more
why? because it doesn't even use xcb (i3 does)
if you want dwm use awesome otherwise use i3 in tabbed mode

You have to be 18 years or older to post here

you have to have an argument to reply to me

kys i3fag. Go shove your nu-wm up your ass.

k i will politely not oblige to that as i is not a retard using a obsolete xlib wm meant only for demo ass shoving

BTW FOR ALL YOU RETARDS i3 IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED FOR TILING ALL OF THE TIME
YES you have always been using it wrong
see gentoo's wiki if you don't believe me

That's a lot of word for someone that say that has not the time to read a c header

Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?

whatever niggers your faggotry, pal

What's better, i3 or bspwm?

2bwm+rofi, beats everything else

St is perfect Unix philosophy, it's a terminal emulator which does nothing but emulating a terminal. My fucking vt100 doesn't have a scrollbar, so doesn't St.

Why are you using dwm if you don't program? Tiling libre office and Google chrome user?

>it forces me to have a C compiler for mere configuration
You can uninstall it after the configuration.

>Layouts are beyond retarded and blocky as fuck.
???

>Dynamic my ass.
It has a dynamic layout.

>Suckless? More like featureless.
That's the point, yeah.

>Why are you using dwm if you don't program? Tiling libre office and Google chrome user?
why wouldn't you? beats floating windows any day
