So, given @kde 6.8 has dropped support for X11 sessions. Is #Wayland actually ready for production use yet? Last I checked (not that long ago), things like screen-sharing (which is also needed for streaming games etc via OBS) was still a shitshow, audio in that use case caused horrific echo, etc.

Toying around with the #shod window manager on #FreeBSD. It feels so magic when you can group different application windows together as tabs, as shown in my screenshot where two #xterm windows and a #Firefox share the same window frame as three separate tabs. This is also what I found fascinating about #pekwm and #HaikuOS. #Fluxbox also has something similar I think. And again thanks #ZFS boot environments, I cannot say this enough.

Trying out NextSpace on Slackware -current with XLibre.

A modern implementation inspired by the classic NeXTSTEP desktop. It's interesting to see how its design and workflow still feel relevant decades later.

Definitely a fun project to explore.

19 June 1984.

Bob Scheifler announces the first release of the X Window System:

"I stole a fair amount of code from W ... and called it X."

Forty-two years later, I'm still running X11 daily on Slackware.

Happy Birthday, X.

the secret to surviving years of WM-hopping:

sxhkd handles the keys.
the WM handles the windows.
dmenu handles the launching.

swap any one. the others don't notice.
