Oct 14, 2026, 5:21 PM@elebertus nfc tbh, graphics remains the hard part. it comes with ctwm (a twm fork by the looks) out of the box and that won't do.
time to play with wayland compositors i guess

Hey Guselebertus@eigenmagic.netOct 14, 2026, 5:36 PM@dysfun yeah xfce4 I think is ootb available (was reading this morning). I assume i3 also works or there is a source package for it.
Tbh I know so little about how *bsd is different than linux I'm not even sure

@elebertus mmm, i mean people just tend to do linux only things and so some porting is typically required. POSIX by itself isn't very useful.
i think i read xfce is slopping it up these days?
- Hey Guselebertus@eigenmagic.netOct 14, 2026, 6:40 PM
@dysfun yeah I think the policy is attribution. I cbf to check the commit history for all the things but if your policy is no slop anywhere xfce is sadly excluded by that.

@elebertus literally the entire point here is avoiding slop, or i'd just continue using alpine.
- Hey Guselebertus@eigenmagic.netOct 14, 2026, 6:44 PM
@dysfun yup I follow. Also i3 is out and if you are futzing w wayland probably sway too.
Fucking hell man

@elebertus yeah i'm less worried about this than graphics tbh
