with WM, because it gives me imitless customization freedom. Runs without stubborn init systems. And it is very .

/e/OS, because promises an open future for mobile devices.

, because it is lighweight. User friendly, and "just works". A perfect fit whenever I " just quickly need an OS on any random machine", and don't have the time to solve a gazillion silly compatibility problems myself.

Thank gods I have this 13 year old Toshiba Satellite S875 as a backup laptop. Runs like a champ with #FreeBSD 15 and #Openbox. :bsdhead:

While I need to investigate the wi-fi situation, wired works just fine. I've forgotten what it's like to have a 17" screen on a laptop.

I haven't yet given up on this Dell and it's functioning fine *for now* as a desktop connected to a dual monitor dock.

@gravitas it's not hard to be better than #hyprland.

@dianea personally, I prefer #OpenBox as is part of @bunsenlabs but I can see someone wanting #xfce instead as it's smaller.

  • Not to mention, distros like #TinyCore literally run on anything #i486 and up with like 32MB RAM and up.

OpenBox 4 life you heard?

fluxdock è un dock X11 "a scomparsa" leggero, minimale e discreto, pensato per chi usa window manager essenziali come Fluxbox o Openbox.

- Dock sul lato destro con launcher
- Systray completo (SNI + XEmbed)
- Pseudo-trasparenza via root pixmap → nessun compositor richiesto

Se a qualcuno interessa, me lo faccia sapere rispondendo a questo post. Si sappia che la vita è più bella senza Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Mate, ecc.

Schermata di un desktop Linux minimale basato su X11.
Al centro è aperto un terminale con la manpage di fluxdock(1), che descrive un dock X11 leggero per Fluxbox/Openbox. Sul lato destro dello schermo è visibile fluxdock in funzione, con icone di launcher organizzate per categorie (Development, Graphics, Multimedia, Network, System, Utilities), disposte verticalmente.

Feliz #viernesdeescritorio

Hoy muestro mi entorno de #BlackArch sobre mi #ArchLinux donde uso el kernel hardened y el WM #OpenBox con ciertas configs especiales para las herramientas de BlackArch y el fondo de pantalla.

@midtsveen #AlpineLinux with #WM #openbox. No #DE. But 95% of the time I'm on #NetBSD with #ctwm

Really in love with Purple themes lately. It's a nicer color than grey and works well in dark or light themes. FairyFloss is the only terminal color scheme I've found that hits the spot, any others ya'll are aware of? I've made the theme for the anvil editor (acme clone) based off of the SeaSky OpenBox theme, which I'm running. #FreeBSD #OpenBox #FairyFloss #AnvilEditor

Scroll through a random video on YouTube about the #JWM window manager, seems interesting. Looked much like #OpenBox, both used #XML format config files. I was amazed to see the #Win95 style theme worked great simply config-ed from one file.

Bon, mon petit sbc ne veut toujours pas booter et il va probablement que je teste avec une autre distribution comme dietpi qui ont une image d'installation pour ce sbc mais en attendant, j'ai pu ameliorer mon setup d'experimentation de #lxqt en session #wayland grace a #labwc . C'est compatible avec les themes #openbox mais je vais verifier en RAM la consommation. Je reviens...
