#labwc — Public Fediverse posts

@mxchara I like a minimal desktop, so i always use #openbox or #labwc

Since I found out about #SteamOS session on #linux the shackles have been lifted off #KDE being my daily driver. Now I can finally go wild on my desktop with #twm like #niri. Also wanting to check backwith #labwc and #riverwm. #noctalia is also a nice addition on how to bride the gap.

TIL: there’s a thing named #DankLinux, which is “a complete desktop shell for #niri, #Hyprland, #MangoWC, #Sway, #labwc, #Scroll, #MiracleWM, and other #Wayland compositors”. This might be a quick and easy way to get all the little details working out of the box, and to get a consistent look’n’feel as a bonus.

(EDIT: oh, and it’s based on #QuickShell.)

LINUX NEWS

Colorado and California age verification bills exempt open source operating systems:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/colorado-and-california-age-verification-bills-exempt-open-source-operating-systems/
(Good to see some win in this front, although other laws like the US federal law and the Brazilian one don't exclude FOSS so the problem still exists)
(Also, as Switched to Linux pointed out in his video, the Colorado bill is still a bit vague regarding whether restrictive copyleft licenses like GPL are excluded: https://odysee.com/@switchedtolinux:0/bill-passed-foss-carve-out-in-colorado:f)

System76 changed their stance, won't include any age attestation/verification in Pop!_OS and COSMIC:

@regendans Interesting! So Noctalia is a window manager? I hadn't heard about it, but it seems there's quite a lot happening with it. There's no entry for it on the #ArchWiki, surprisingly.

I've been using #Labwc on my old #Thinkpad as a lightweight #KDE alternative, which is pretty nice too. An #Openbox alternative for #Wayland.

Budgie 10.10.2 rifinisce l’esperienza desktop: ponte Labwc migliorato, input più affidabile, menu più coerente e una tasklist molto più intelligente. #Linux #Budgie #Wayland #Labwc #OpenSource
