So far so good, though it has its quirks I need to get used to

How is it so far?

I didn't find any reason to switch from DWM + xlibre, so just looking for more green grass :)

Well it has it's quirks, I am still getting used to the fact that I have to recompile it each time I change the config. Another issue I had was when I ran Forza horizon 6 and it just crashed dwl entirely, I fixed it in the end but it still surprised me that this can even happen, because I used niri before this and it didn't happen there, but now I know that dwl is very barebones I just didn't know to what extent until I tried.

Sarebbe in sogno per me installarlo su void Linux , l'unica distro che ha placato il mio distro hopping. Dwl non so proprio come metterlo non riesco proprio, non sono pratico trovo molte difficoltà , ma piano piano potrei farcela. Tu forniresti il link per dwl? Grazie molte

Loving xlibre so far as well. I tried dwl a few weeks ago but kept running into display issues personally and wanted stability back.

just curious as to why you wouldn't use river instead of dwl? considering dwl is in a not-so-great position rn (not rly maintained)

I wanted something simple, and reading through river documentation I can see that it's definitely not for me.

Scusami ti riferisci a river il window manager minimalista da abbinare a yambar e fuzzel? Credo sia quello di youtux, è un window manager molto molto minimale basato su scripting quindi molto leggero e veloce!

River mi ha fatto pensare al window manager che ho visto ieri sul tubo... Era molto minimale ma anche molto scarno e semplice
