Justine SmithiesIf you liked <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=windowmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindowMaker</a> and wish there was a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> version ? Worry no more as a port is being worked on as we speak.

Justine SmithiesPlaying around with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labwc</a> and it's really quite nice. I could get used to a stacking <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> compositor and the best bit is it can window snap to the edges too. So it's okay for basic tiling like most. I have built <code>labwc</code> myself from their repo though just to get the latest updates.<br><a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a><br>

Justine SmithiesSo still on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it <code>sixel</code> in <code>xterm</code> or the kitty protocol in <code>kitty</code>, I've decided to stick with good old <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xterm</a> . Also on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used <code>alacritty</code> or <code>kitty</code> to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> chic on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HerbstluftWM</a> and <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Openbox</a> are in my sights although I'm still using the default <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=fvwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fvwm</a> right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into <code>nsxiv</code> for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of <code>imv</code> is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a><br>
