#stumpwm — Public Fediverse posts

@mariomedjeral I used #Stumpwm for many (many!) years, and its interaction with Emacs was one of the highlights.

What broke my use was multiple monitors. I simply couldn't get it all to work properly, it was a bit overwhelming.

I often use Ratpoison on my laptop, which suites it nicely.

Like Stumpwm, it's stuck of X11 which is less battery efficient than Wayland. Though I think #Ratpoison probably compensates for that.

@tfb My fallback WM, when for some reason exwm doesn't work for me, is StumpWM: Common LISP based so sympathetic to Emacs.

Apparently the original developer of the ratpoison #WindowManager (I posted about it last night) has a similar project written in #CommonLisp called #StumpWM. So, if a #TilingWindowManager interests you, give it a shot!

I was inspired by these links: https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/114512760016959177 and tried to use a DejaVu Serif fonts (BTW, I'm always like a Computer Modern serif font) in my system and use a smaller color palette or dithering in my wallpaper/blog header image.

- #StumpWm modeline looks like a good old book
- #Emacs modeline with Serif font looks interesting
- and #conky too
- blog's main page reduced from ~130 Kb to 59 Kb, lol :dragnaww:

Until #Gentoo portage catches up with the packages needed for #StumpWM to run without crashing, I think I'll give #QTile a go. Can't do the keyboard shortcut things I want, but neither can most other WM or DEs.

Should be very helpful with the new 3440x1440 monitor arriving tomorrow. Large fonts AND two windows next to each other. Sounds great; I can't wait to experience it. (Upgrading from 1920x1080.)

#Linux #WindowManagers

I suppose I could switch to #EXWM (again), but can it do keystroke intercepts the way #StumpWM can?

My reasons for trying StumpWM are:

1) try another window manager
2) learn some lisp
3) use emacs keystrokes in #Mozilla #Firefox. Or at least turn off ctrl-w to kill the window.

If EXWM can do 3, then it may be worth trying until I can get StumpWM working.

Just learned about #Xephyr for running a second x session inside the first one. Very cool. Can't believe I hadn't heard about it before now. Years and years ago, I used to routinely run a second session on vt8. Good for testing out different window managers or desktop environments or running things as a different user.

Using Xephyr to troubleshoot #stumpwm - it starts and exits / crashes immediately. Testing a few things, so not giving up hope yet.

I would have loved to see some kind of merge of #lem, #mcclim and #nyxt. At least a version of Lem running in Nyxt, making the power of both available to build upon. I have #lisp pretty much top to bottom now (including #guix and #stumpwm), but it's still pretty disconnected. I can control things from emacs though, so that's the middle ground, but I would have loved #CommonLisp there too.

X window managers, the light versions.

I like IceWM that is used as default X manger for Antix :)

I found these and seem a more complete solution than #Ratpoison or #StumpWM that are too much spartan. #linux

I personally don't find the windowing model in #sway intuitive -- the tree model is overly complex for my small laptop screen, and at odds with my mental model of frames & buffers.

#StumpWM has a frame & buffer model, lisp interface, and delightful affordances -- so, my favorite so far of these minimal WM's. But, it lacks #wayland support. Mahogany is the wayland compliant successor, so will try it out in the next few weeks.

Curious if anyone can speak to their own experience using #mahogany?
