dwm - "the hardest tiling windows manager to exhist." sick, glad i picked this for my first linux experience lol. learning a lot so far thats for sure!

[@gullible119]

I wouldn't call it the hardest. It has a learning curve and config.h scares some people away but most get the hang of it if they have time for it.

[@mnemonic6047]

thank you dude, you're actually a hidden gem in the DWM howto video scape, you should do more videos! as a casual DWM user I actually learnt alot of new stuff ! :D

[@0x007A]

Using git branches for each patch and merging the branch into the master branch is the most efficient way to preserve a working dwm instance before adding a patch.

[@AnalyticMinded]

Good tips on what to do post installation! Now, for anyone wanting to know how to actually install dwm on an Arch-based system, just open a terminal and type 'sudo pacman -S i3-gaps'. Don't worry about the spelling... that's just one of the quirks of dwm. :P

[@linuxramblingproductions8554]

I actually hopped from i3 to dwm recently

[@ryancompton3907]

DWM > i3

_Windows_ is likes vanilla ice cream _Mac_ is like Ice Cream restaurant. Even to buy *cookies* you have to rely on the restaurant staff _Linux_ is like street ice cream stall - You have Chocolate, butterscotch, mango all flavours. You could get stomach upset but variety is great.

[@poppasmurf2150]

What needs to be shown for the noobs is how to setup from the beginning the bar without pulling down your configs… fresh setup bare bones

[@ttt69420]

you mean opening the config file?

[@0x2fd]

thank you sir

[@0x007A]

You can build dwm without dmenu existing.

[@msor6108]

Use git branches to manage dwm patches and u all good.

[@morundo]

how do i make dwm remember floating windows position?

[@TheLinuxCast]

Install the Always Center Patch

[@morundo]

@@TheLinuxCast sorry i'm new to dwm, installed and then ?

[@TheLinuxCast]

@@morundo kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3UY4GbmKakaaM This is the patch I was talking about. dwm.suckless.org/patches/alwayscenter/ All it does is make sure that floating windows are always centered when spawned, so it's not exactly what you want, but close.

[@demodoesedits]

Is there any way to make slstatus blocklets clickable like in dwmblocks? I'm looking to switch from dwmblocks as it's the biggest pain in the ass I've ever had. I scroll to change the volume and 2 other blockets randomly disappear until they refresh and show again. pain and suffering

[@TheLinuxCast]

As far as I know, you can't do that with slstatus.

[@AminD0]

Ik this is late, but if you still need it or someone else, there is dwmblocks-async which is the best solution i found, fixes all the bugs. Works perfectly.

[@Красный-ц9ч]

The translation of subtitles does not work. Very interesting, but nothing is clear.

[@yorch802]

hopefully install the ultrawide patch, unless you are not using an ultrawide monitor.

[@menzokruizinga]

I really like Dwm but because I have bad eyes Onless it’s preconfigured I can’t use it

[@denizkendirci]

arcolinuxb-dwm

[@menzokruizinga]

@@denizkendirci I try it but I will not run for some reason it has to do with my Nvidia card i think 💭 but thanks for the info😉

[@denizkendirci]

@@menzokruizingainteresting i have nvidia gtx 860m laptop card but it runs smoothly. arcolinux's wm versions are preconfigured nicely, i only make minor tweaks after the installation like changing the bar colors and couple of keyboard shortcuts. that's why i also like preconfigured version, because tweaking is way faster than building from ground.

[@menzokruizinga]

@@denizkendirci I have gtx 1070 I found that I used new 4.95 driver than I get major problems with most Linux distro.s I had so much problems with Ubuntu mate that I got so mad that it will never touch it again but if I install the 4.70 driver then it runs perfect in arch linux you get the newest version of software I that’s why is searching for a Debian or Ubuntu version of Dwm desktop I found two off them but the installers are broken en I found yesterday but it has no installer ik like preconfigured distro because off my bad eyes and I don’t have to time to fixing All problems a get some time😉

One of the most useless comments on KZbin I've ever gotten. Also, learn to capitalize nouns, bro, you sound like an idiot.
