Wii @ 0.7GHz lol

This is v1.6 of SxWM my own tiling wm.

The project is now very polished since the last time it released (\~1mo ago) and is, for me at least, nearing perfection on what I expect my window manager to do.

I am very happy that so many people are involved and am ever grateful that its at over 670 stars!!! I never imagined this sort of engagement with it!

The bar used is also sxbar and is now finally carrying on with development

* Only the first pic is on the wii. I may make a video on it but it runs smooth, much better than dwm on it.

Is that Arch you’re running? And if so, isn’t it only supported for x86? Either way, that’s impressive!

It's magenta, so both the red and blue phosphors of the CRT are activated.

Damn, looks great. But OpenBSD works even better on PowerPC

bet it does but i doubt they have an active repo and i’m not really looking forward to compiling stuff on it either

Beautiful!!! How's the performance of it, does it hold a candle when it comes to CLI usage at least? :)

[-]

Savings_Walk_1022@reddit (OP)

cli usage is fine but nothing more serious really
