in xterm
or the kitty protocol in kitty
, I've decided to stick with good old #Xterm . Also on my #FreeBSD daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used alacritty
or kitty
to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a #Wayland chic on my #ThinkPad I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but #HerbstluftWM and #Openbox are in my sights although I'm still using the default #Fvwm right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into nsxiv
for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of imv
is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. #RunBSDDay 11 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD
Hello Openbox! Its been awhile.
I'm re-acquainting myself with the Openbox window manager on my new FreeBSD laptop. I was a happy user for a few years before moving to Linux Mint Debian and Cinnamon desktop.
Currently rethinking my config with help from this excellent HOWTO courtesy of @vermaden ...

Parfois, on tombe sur des trucs bizarres dans le logiciel libre, comme une distribution live qui fait consommer 3,8 Go de mémoire avec l'utilisation d'Openbox. Si, c'est possible...
Instead of an #introduction post, I'm just going to put a whole bunch of tags in here:
Mein altes Thinkpad x220 hat jetzt ein neues #linux #Archcraft mit #OpenBox-Windowmanager. Läuft wieder flott und bringt auch noch genug Bequemlichkeiten mit:

Mein altes #Thinkpad x220 hat endlich ein frisches Betriebssystem bekommen: #Archcraft. Jetzt ist es #bleedingedge aktuell, sieht gut aus und läuft dank #Openbox noch schneller als vorher. Hier zu sehen im Video:

Toujours impressionné par la qualité du travail de BunsenLabs Linux ( @bunsenlabs ) !
J'ai mis à jour un eee PC 900 (i386) de 2009 vers leur dernière version Boron
https://www.bunsenlabs.org/
Basée sur la puissante & mighty Debian
Doté de Kernel pae 6.1 !
Tout fonctionne parfaitement, même sur cette vieille micro-machine riquiqui !
ça en fait un terminal minimaliste très geek, avec une interface modulable et un système Openbox rapide et ergonomique.
Apparently rebooting fixes the discrepancy between reported versions. Who'd have thunk?
#FreeBSD has breathed new life into this ancient #laptop. Switched from #twm to #openbox and surfing the #web with #elinks.
Admittedly I did cheat and replace the 5,400 RPM hard drive with a 1TB SSD. I'm not masochistic enough for that, particularly when I had something exponentially better on hand.
What are people's thoughts on the future of #X11 ?
The #Linux world is turning it's back on X in order to adopt #wayland
I suspect that similar things are getting to critical mass in the #BSD world.
Is X going to disappear entirely? Become super niche? Become abandoned? Remember xfree86?
I look to old window managers like #Openbox, #fvwm, #afterstep, and others and get all "misty eyed" about what will be lost.

@topher @nekohayo maybe #Gnome is not your cup of tea?
Feel free to experiment...
Whilst I focus on the bare foundations, I'm not gonna prevent people from getting a proper #GUI-#Desktop on it if they desire. It'll just not be my focus...
@argv_minus_one That old system struggled with KDE until I switched to GNOME. When I said it ran acceptably, well... let's just say it required a bit more patience! #openbox or #fluxbox would have been a better choice.
Historically, #KDE has always been on the heavier side even well before #KDEPlasma.
Optimizing Linux for low-end hardware is crucial for running a smooth and efficient system on older or less powerful machines. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you achieve this:
