why do this when you can just install dwm, make a few changes and install slstatus. This takes 10 mins.

at most i probably make 6 changes and i never change it again.
also compiling dwm takes 3 seconds, retard
it compiles in less time than some wm's start up
nigger no
i dont add shit, i don't add patches.
no no nigger lol
you are fucking SEETHING, ricenigger
I didn't rice shit. I just installed i3, changed a couple things in the conf file, and used it. Stay mad, compile fag.

>having a bar
Why? Just use the keyboard and then open up a terminal if you need to check any system statuses
If you can't keep 10 workspaces committed to memory then you have no business using a wm that incorporates them.
Also there is no reason to use linux besides ricing honestly. It's literally the only advantage over windows it has

get rid of the gay colors though
Use xmonad with xmobar instead
Just use a real DE like the rest of us normalfags.
Why not use a modern OS with a modern GUI that is actually functional in 2019?
don't you get tired of making this thread? is this a false-flag campaign to make dwm users look bad?

I wouldn't be using openbox if I'd want to waste time configuring.
openbox + lxppearance (with obconf plugin) + Adapta window theme + Breeze icon/cursor theme
That's all I need and it takes less than 10 minutes to set up.

Holy fuck you are so out of touch with reality. Why are you trying to argue with the people that run the less bloated shit on earth?
Do you realize any Linux DE is 10x more bloated than any WM?
Do you realize that any Linux DE is 10x less bloated than Windows out of the box.
Also, we live in 2019 in case you forgot. Most people have over 100GB worth of storage, and a totally decent processor. Do you think that there would be any big speed difference or that a few more or less MBs actually matter?
A 5 wpm speed difference would have a bigger impact on productivity, rather than what WM you use.
If you think such a little speed difference makes a difference or a few MBs, you are incredibly stupid.
I use i3 and I've never done any kind of "configuring" on it, I just use a preset.
>Why do people spend time and money on the things they like?
fuck off and just use linux how you want to use it. this is a garbage thread (per usual).

watch the webm, if you look close you can barely see me recompiling. So there is virtually no difference between compiled configuration vs dotfiles (except better code).
>He doesn't have a Haskell compiler installed for his Haskell projects
user I...
Well, I like writing algorithmic and heavily-optimized code.
I'd choose Haskell if I wanted to have an expressive language to play with.
About suckless software. How to get your programs up to date? Isn't downloading new versions and reapplying patches, changing configuration a bit tedious?

Pretty based.
>opinion disregarded
Those are floating windows placed with a gap for presentation purposes. If your eyes couldn't pick up the uneven spacing between windows at first look go see an optician. Anyways, I didn't give any opinions in the clip, I just demonstrated that the compile time of dwm fits in 5 frames of a 30 fps video.
lol u mad??

Curious question, where do you store your dwm fi or other suckless programs in your computer?

how do you put them there automatically? what a faggot
>why do this when you can just install dwm, make a few changes and install slstatus. This takes 10 mins.
I prefer to listen to Jow Forums as little as I can. There are always people who will shit on whatever you do or like here, i3 is fine for me.
I wonder what kind of device you use if you consider something like i3 too bloated for it.
Are you trying to use linux on a fridge or something?
OP is retarded
Just run LARBS :)
>git pull
>sudo make clean install
But that doesn't apply patches.
where does git pull search for the repo? Which file is it?
xd
what's wrong with i3wm?
nothing. it's fine. use it if you wanna. don't be swayed by shitposting so easily...
BLOAT.
And getting pre riced setup is for faggots and defeats the whole point.
The little bit my bloated DE takes is nothing when I have 4 JVMs chugging messages
Or I could run KDE and have features.
How do you do this? I'm new to Linux. When I tried to use dwm I would kill the whole thing and startx.
>error: patch does not apply
>how do you put them there automatically?
>automatically
I manually placed them. That was clear in my previous post. So you must be baiting at this point.
based chink
yes use tcc. his point was probably that most distros include gcc by default even if you don't intend to compile anything.
run dwm in a while loop. So when you kill it, it'll restart the dwm without quitting X.
>I'm a retard who can't check if the patch is the same release as what I have
It isn't contrarian enough if more than 5 people use it.
Are you just supposed to use an outdated release, then?
Nice pic of Urinal, faggot. Are you a time traveler from 2004?
Openbox is easy to use, has buttons, and themeing is easy I can just find Mac osx buttons and change the colors in .themerc and I'm done
Overall none of the wms are bloat
how tf is 2bwm bloated
nice reddit image OP

you fucking add shit moron
i know you fucking install lemonbar and shit nigger
>X11 wm

Pick one.
a patch is nothing more than just taking lines and putting them into the file. If I (brainlet) can manually patch dwm anyone can
why are you on 4shit via w3m?
>vis
fuck off
I tried. I couldn't figure out how to tweak anything.
Being a brainlet sucks.
presumably the suckless repo you cloned it from
I guess I had trouble because I tried to use vimdiff.
literally just open the patch file and add the lines starting with pluses in the right spot. That's all a patch is.
Fuck that i would rather use the cde desktop environment :D

Takes me literally 10 minutes to set this up, fren. The defaults are sane enough, and it works well with st so i don't have to use tmux.
Want minimal? You can have it. But i3 is pretty much the sanest defaults without being KDE levels of bloat like AwesomeWM.
Yeah, I know. I'm retarded about doing things "the right way".
The sanest defaults would be windowmaker's
this takes 0 seconds to install because it's all scripted
I could have a piece of software that had the world's most sanest defaults. I'd still mess around with it a bit. I like getting to know how things work and how much i can alter them.
It's not a competition. People use what suits their needs, be it something less config-heavy, be it something bare bones.

I stopped reading at that point.
Also: i3/polybar, store config in git, pull to new pc when required.
I haven't reconfigured anything in ages.

He consistently fails to make a generic and functional argument that leads to the conclusion as to why twms fail, instead he makes up a bunch of reasons based either on personal preferences or lack of information.
Might as well change the title to "Why i don't use/like tiling window managers", would make him sound less of a slow fren. Not liking something does not make it objectively useless or bad, generic cases based on logic (not preferences) must be made if you intend to prove something isn't as good as it seems.
