my guy the dabbler! thought you were dead my dude... 😂 glad to get some new content 😏
@King Zero. Rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated. Lol.
Nice, well explained video of your dwm setup. Keep em coming
Nice to see you again, man! It's been a long time!
Thanks @Alex D. Ball. It's good to be back uploading more often.
best DWM video super thanks
Some of the best Linux content on the tube.
copy pasta of dt?
What a good video, thanks for sharing and greetings from Spain
Greetings from Bug Tussle, Alabama
Hi @Leviticus. Haven't been out to Bug Tussle in a long time... I don't usually give my exact location on the internet, but I call it Podunk, Alabama... where they have to pump sunshine out to us... usually gets here on Wednesdays.
Nice. You edumated me.
Question . . . Why do you use Dmenu from apt via suckless tools instead of wget from suckless org?
I usually do, but I just didn't think about it for some reason. I even keep a patched build of dmenu on my gitlab page.
You know man..I just checked again and I have had alerts enabled for your channel since the start. I am not sure why I don't get squat when you roll up.
Anyway great to see you still at it. I hope the family is well. Guess what after that strange vacation away from Deb, I am back. I tried out Man-XFCE, also F36-XFCE (weird Deb/Arch vibe to it) and decided to come home. Good thing I have tons of .txt files and your videos :) to re teach myself.
BTW, did you give up on BTRFS on root in Deb11?
@WC1376C. Welcome back to the deb side. Lol. I made a video on it almost a year ago. But I didn't really get far with the full on restore with a bash script... But I was able to successfully and consistently change root subvolumes in /etc/fstab with a dmenu script. It's in my dotfiles under rootscripts/brsnapshot.
@@linuxdabbler well brother, i have been at it since 5am central, and Deb just doesn't want to play...same AMD GPU problem from over a year ago. I have even bumped my kernel up to 5.18. Every other distro works...just not Deb.
Great video ! Which WM would you suggest is best out of the box with least config. I just want to get working with it asap
As you probably know, I am a spectrwm fan, and it is pretty good out of the box, but it takes a fair amount of configuring to make it fantastic...
Most of the linuxy guys on TH-cam upload their dotfiles to GitHub or gitlab, if you want a good starting point with any window manager...
But if you want a window manager that is ready to go out of the box with no customizing, just install it and get to work... You can't go wrong with awesome.
was helpful to say the least, thanks!
Another question (I hope I'm allowed more questions, I know I'm not worthy).
Do you remember what patches you have on ST?
@LqLarry. I have alpha, scrollback, delkey, and font2... I think thats all...
gruvebox dark has some issues with libreoffice as the main/home screen window background and foreground colors are black.
Great vid as always!
Cool stuff!
I moved from Xmonad to DWM thinking I needed a lot of features. After a week in dwm I realized that I didn't need all the things that I spent hours configuring in xmonad. I only have one patch, 'no title'. How do I update my dwm? The only thing I can think of is apply my 1 patch to the HEAD lol. Seriously, how do people update with all them patchs? Some may conflict with dwm git repo.
I think most people treat dwm like a static release and just rebuild it after each update. 6.2 is a couple years old at this point.
@@linuxdabbler That’s true. I’m going to wait a while for them to make more commits before I apply my 1 patch. I’ve been watching your videos, keep up the great work.
Sorry... I didn't understand anything. Is not an installation from scratch.
