What window manager are you using?

Same here.

It's comfy af.

openbox on my desktop
bspwm on my laptop so i dont have to use a trackpad (i keep it off 99% of the time)

XFCE/XFWM. it's comfy and has decent plugins for stuff like start menu, mixer, network-manager ect. My setup is close to what those GTK2+ desktops used to be back in the day and I get stuff done and don't have to spend hours on configuring .Xresources, sxhkd and bspwmrc, browsing man pages, writing scripts and finding ncurses replacements to my GUI applications.

i3 on notebook because it lets me control windows with keyboard and using touchpad is pain.

Windowmaker on desktop because I wanted to try it and stuck with it. I like the 90's look.

And people wonder why linux distro's aren't more popular. Aside from laptops I can't see a reason why you wouldn't just run windows with a VM so you can get the best of both worlds.

just download the drivers from their site you filthy pleb

i3. I used it on my arch laptop where it's really nice because you don't have to use the cursor as much. I tried it on my Debian desktop too, and though I like it I'm thinking about switching. Tiling WMs aren't nice to certain software I use, and on a desktop using the mouse is not a problem. Any recommendations? Something minimalist like i3 but floating.

tmux

Proprietary AMD drivers are a huge problem on Linux.
You are better off using the open-source ones that are installed by default.

Maybe because Windows still sees everything, including the contents of the VM, and reports it back to Microsoft and assorted third parties?

sway, 2bwm, bspwm

Because we're not autists and can fix problems.
Like not 5 minutes ago I accidentally uninstalled xorg-xinit because I uninstalled cinnamon and Gnome.
I couldn't even login from a console, it took like 2 minutes to diagnose figure it out...

Xfwm and Openbox.

It's like you're having bad diarrhea then you blame levi's jeans and go back to adult diapers.

Just use the compositor that came with your default DE, or install compton

Good taste

wow I'm so glad we shit on browser and computer build threads but have this garbage instead

I'm using the open source drivers and they preform perfectly on my 6950. No screen tearing or anything.

What card are you using?

Compiz, because it came with the distro.

i3-gaps
Compton
Conky in JSON mode
URxvt
Rofi

Man, at least disable scrollbars and titlebars.

Sage for /g/-tier thread.

I like dark desktops but it clashes hard with applications/ webpages.

Windows 7. It works for me.

FTFY

I did disable the scroll bars and probably the title bars in a bit but still...
Fucking rood dood

You're so hilarious user. It's almost like you want to fuck Richard Stallman.

But that would make you a faggot, wouldn't it?

That wasn't a joke. This is the nature of reality.

As for sex with Stallman, I do not believe he is a homosexual, and I might also be too rough for the old man. I'm also not a homosexual/gay.

Good for you. Next time get some servicable ricing done before starting a thinly veiled rice thread.

I was just curious and that's literally the only image I have saved on this laptop cause I was showing my friends what window managers are...
If it was gonna be a rice thread I would've made it look somewhat decent before starting.

Not even a need for this shit, since some time now. Just add TearFree to your xorg conf (if you use ATI, of course).

Well, there isn't much to talk about WMs. There are tiled and floating ones, and that's about it.

It's not that im against a good ricing thread, seeing that /rice/ is dead since years.

With some patches to have some features from xmonad and i3

I actually was looking for alternatives to i3 because i3-gaps is buggy as shit.
That without starting a "you're using *insert WM here* and not *other WM*. Kill yourself"

xmonad

>>>/reddit/

What exactly is the use of gaps? Maybe I'm missing something but unless you desperately need more contrast to distinguish between windows it seems just like wasted space

XMonad. I want my WM configuration to be a vertical challenge.

...

openbox with kwin as WM

>i cba to add

I demand the loli

here you go user

I'm using awesome.

Sawfish.

For shame. Fluxbox is my favorite stacking wm, and the Manjaro flavor with it is top notch. I used openbox via BunsenLabs for a little bit (I hop a lot) and Fluxbox just feels so much nicer. Easier to configure, too.

I use Mac OS X loli edition

That's a damn nice background. You're still a fag for using appleshit, though.

fluxbox

CWM is super minimal and "just werks"

Cause It looks nice

What's a super lightweight wm that actually has a 'start' button? I'm using fluxbox, and minimizing everything or changing workspaces just to open a new window is annoying as fuck.

Openbox.

...

So does 9wm.

How does it feel being a pleb rice babby?

use tmux

i3

better picture

why was this deleted?

It just gets worse the longer you look at it

It's called efficiency once you become more comfortable with it.

What is mod+shift+d firefox?
What is $ firefox?
The long boot time is not necessarily from not having an SSD, windows takes 5 minutes to boot even with it. Even ubuntu takes a little bit (without ssd), because there's so much GUI needing to be loaded. The minimalist interface of WMs is exactly what this stuff is good for, boot times take 5 seconds, 8 seconds if encrypted. I'm not sure you understand what you're trying to argue.

What are you taking about?

I'd argue that it takes just as long to learn how to use a GUI for the first time as it does to learn the command line. The "clutter" makes perfect sense, and reading the man page takes just as much time as looking up a video on how to find some stupid button hidden under 4 menus.

Off by one

Same config on both this netbook & my workstation box. Stumpwm + Emacs for a majority ... and a combination of Firefox & Conkeror for webbrowsing, till something better to this usecase comes along (Lispkit seems dead and also it's icky GTK).

Pretty happy with it, potentially planning on spinning a custom "tiling DE" out of it.

What is that terminal clock application you are using? I just tried searching it but didn't get anything that resembles that.

Isn't that tty-clock?

Maybe?
It looks similar, but it doesn't see to be able to show extra info like the song and the volume though.
It might just be something that he set up himself for all I know. Thanks for trying user.

That's ncmpcpp. Enter "=" to switch to the clock screen.

I guess you've never used fluxbox. It doesn't have a button to open the main menu. You have to right click on the naked desktop. Its fucking annoying.

That's it. Thank you user.

Nothing, WM's are very Bare bones, they are ment to just handle windows, install a panel like xfce4-panel for that kind of functionality.

normally Kwin which comes in KDE but if i need something lighter i use XFCE or i3.
regardless of WM, i usually split the screen in 2 side by side and treat 2 sides as if they're separate MFDs in an aircraft cockpit. operational as fuck.

i3's good enough for me

rio

That actually sounds like the sort of reply Stallman would make to a comment like that.

Which theme is that friend?

Quartz compositor

Stacking is objectively the best window management paradigm for general use. Expose make it even better. If I wanted to tile, it would only be good for text-only applications, so I only tile in in swiss army knifes text editors like vim. Did you know you can read mail in it?

Shiki colors (wine) with gnome colors (wine) icons. You can find both on debian repos (shiki-colors gnome-colors). Shiki colors was the Numix of it's time.

You do know you can customise keys for fluxbox?
Bind some key combo to :RootMenu if you want to open the main menu thing.
You can also move/resize windows with keys which is super useful.

This is the rice thread yes?
How do I into ricing?

How do you make lemonbar automatically start on boot? I assigned mod+o for lemonbar but is there any way to make lemonbar start automatically?

Install lemonparty instead

archive.is/rQwOD
That and manpages will get you started. Then you can fuck off to /r/unixporn

Used Openbox for a while but then I tried the i3 meme and really liked it. Haven't noticed myself wanting floating windows outside of when I use the calculator program (which I have set to automatically float now) due to how large it appears otherwise. Only real complaint I have is that I can only change between my floating calculator and other windows with the mouse.

It would be great if someone made a modified version of w3m that could handle captchas (also a terminal multiplexor that would still allow programs to use the framebuffer). Then shitposting from devices with < 64 MB of RAM would be possible (or doing more things at once than just shitposting on a device with 64 MB of RAM). The lack of CSS doesn't even bother me that much as I started browsing with a lot of it turned off by default a while ago and noticed that some web pages became more enjoyable to read.

Could you post that background?

There's an extension to w3m that supports images. On Debian, it's packaged as w3m-img.

I know that, last I checked you still can't fill out any type of captcha though.

It's best to not start or you'll turn into a faggot who posts his desktop looking for ass pats. Just find something functional and stick with it.

XFCE is fine for beginners. You can customize how it looks with the settings menu. If you want to fuck around with tiling WMs, give one a shot. Be warned, they'll require a bit of configuration and getting used to before they feel comfortable. Don't feel like it's necessary to commit to it; just play around with it every once in a while.

It works fine for me.

What distro do you use? Debian adds patches to the w3m package that give it better support for various things. I found out a while ago that searx.me works fine with Debian w3m but not Arch w3m.

Debian on one computer, Arch on another. Neither has worked with Captchas (haven't tried the Captchas on Holla Forums but I'm guessing they'd be the same as the others). Other images still work though.

What happens when you try to fill in the captcha? Does it get processed incorrectly, or does it just not show up?

What's your release?

The image/images simply don't show up despite me having w3m-img. I looked it up before and people claimed that was just normal though so I never bothered messing with it further. Current computer is running Debian Jessie.

Just tried going the DNS bypass Captcha page in w3m and the image loaded. Don't know why that one works but others I've tried don't.

What's your terminal? It works with rxvt-unicode, xterm and terminology, but not with a lot of other terminals.

Xterm. Is it actually possible to view other captchas like the ones 4chan uses?

4chan's default captcha is a disgusting blob of javascript. There might be a working fallback.

I know 4chan's (and the select the picture ones in general) are doable with javascript disabled.

Looked at the page on 4chan in my main browser and noticed that the non javascript select the pictures captcha was in a frame while the Holla Forums text one wasn't. I wonder if that has something to do with why those don't work in w3m.

It appears that the reason why w3m does not display the images is because w3m does not support iframes. Apparently in the past you were able to open the frame in a new window and get the code that way but since Captcha V2 the link has now changed slightly and that way no longer works (especially sad because you can get a text Captcha that way). It might still work on websites that use the Captcha V1 link though so I'll post the information on it. The address will look something like this:
>google.com/recaptcha/api/noscript?k=6Ldp2bsSAAAAAAJ5uyx_lx34lJeEpTLVkP5k04qc
Where everything after the
>google.com/recaptcha/api/noscript?k=
is the website's code for doing captchas, which stays constant, 4chan's being:
So if you encounter captchas regularly on that website you should be able to bookmark the link. For those wondering, the new style link for the Captcha V2 would look like this:
>google.com/recaptcha/api/fallback?k=6Ldp2bsSAAAAAAJ5uyx_lx34lJeEpTLVkP5k04qc
Where "noscript" is replaced with "fallback".

Mutter. Because it works and I'm not running a toaster.
