Cheatsheet trick for tools with too many shortcuts:

$ alias screenhelp='cat ~/.screen-cheatsheet.txt'
$ screenhelp
One alias per tool.
No apps, no TUIs, no search.
Just cat and muscle memory.

I was going to compile it this morning, but I think it’s worth waiting for testing.

Wayback is just a unfinished X11. It supports less hardwares, lacks basic settings like dpms, and it crashes randomly. If you can't leave X11, just use Xorg. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd9...

I mentioned it's experimental in my post :) The goal isn't to replace Xorg today but to eventually drop it while keeping X11 apps working. DPMS is already on the 1.0 roadmap. Just sharing early findings!

Very cool indeed! Built from source on Slackware -current, all dependencies already shipped by Patrick. dwm, st and dmenu_run worked out of the box. Still needs some tweaking but very promising for suckless users who want to drop Xorg without changing their setup!

Finally tested wayback with dwm on Slackware -current! 🎉

wayback is a stub Wayland compositor that hosts a rootful Xwayland server, letting you run your full X11 setup unchanged on top of Wayland. Built from source, wrote a small launch script and dwm came up fine with st.

Still experimental and needs some tweaking but the core concept works — keep your dwm, st and all your suckless tools, just drop Xorg underneath.

If you're a minimalist X11 user not ready to jump to a Wayland WM, keep an eye on this project!

Dylan Araps is back and working on dfm (Dylan's File Manager), a terminal file manager written in C. If you know Dylan's work from KISS Linux, neofetch and other projects, you know what to expect — tiny binary, no dependencies outside of POSIX/libc, vim-like keybindings and does absolutely nothing when idle. Looks like a solid suckless-style file manager worth keeping an eye on.

I tried it and really liked it, already submitted a SlackBuild to slackbuilds.org so Slackware users can easily install it.
