Back on my trusty ThinkPad with external 32" screen running #FreeBSD and using #Wayland which gives me less headaches than I've had today on my #OpenBSD desktop running X. I've just done a git pull on the #Labwc repo to get the latest updates and built it without issue and yes I know there is a package but I'm enjoying tracking progress. I also use #RiverWM and sometimes #SwayWM .
I will go back to my desktop as I do like OpenBSD and I will not be beat. I just need to clear my head first. ;) #RunBSD
Decided that using xorg on my dell optiplex 3080 tower under #FreeBSD isn't for me although it bought back memories. I have seen how certain software has already become stale by which I mean no updates or bug fixes in a good 4-5 years. So I've switched back to #Wayland which I still use on my #ThinkPAD . But my experience of using twm and xterm have made me go explore #Labwc again with my favourite Wayland terminal Foot. It's a lovely minimal stacking window manager which can be themed using #OpenBox themes. I have gruvbox dark installed which I quite like. As to what bar I'm going to use ? I'm not sure maybe waybar or sfwbar or even something else ? #RunBSD

I recommend reading this evident provocation.

At the moment I am happy with #labwc.
I have configured the titlebar with double left click to iconify and middle click to close, xfce4-panel as vertical #deskbar with intelligent autohide.
I use "Run or Raise" with single key shortcuts for most used application.

Here is a link to an old implementation request of mine.

Below is the current state of my #FreeBSD desktop environment

Still playing around with #Labwc and although it's a #Wayland stacking window manager that can tile aka snap to edge it can also be totally configured to work with just the keyboard. I'm pretty impressed so far with what can be achieved. If you liked #OpenBox then definitely give this a shot as you'll love it.
Still playing with #Labwc and trying to hate it but failing miserably. I'm a tiling WM girl at heart but I'm actually liking the way Labwc works. There's no IPC for external control, You just use keybinds, rules and maybe some scripting magic with the likes of wlrctl or wob. I'm still running #RiverWM as my daily though and just testing Labwc to see what's on the otherside but hey. ;)
#Wayland #OpenBox

Die neue Version von #Xfce kommt mit #Wayland-Unterstützung in #ArchLinux. Ich habe das mal installiert. Beim Einloggen mittels GDM kann man zwischen X oder Wayland wählen.

Xfce/X funktioniert natürlich.

Bei Xfce/Wayland lande ich sofort wieder in GDM … weil der Fenstermanager noch kein Wayland kann. Es braucht noch #labwc oder #wayfire dazu.

Mit labwc startet Xfce dann. Aber fertig ist Xfce/Wayland noch nicht. Einige Dinge tuen leider noch nicht.

Muss ich wohl noch warten. Schade.
