I'm Sorry Arch! Part 2
Firstly, DWM is the only window manager for x11 that needs to exist. I used i3 for the longest time, but didn’t feel happy. I’ve tried others but nothing compares to the power and minimalism of DWM. Don’t want to install the package, just compile it from source.
While it takes time to understand DWM, such as patching it and understanding just a little bit of C, it is so simple and is a good base to then build up from. It doesn’t come with some of the most basic features, but that is what makes it so good. It can be made and handcrafted perfectly for the user. No bloat. It is the perfect WM to pair with the Gentoo ideology.
Secondly, the Everforest colorscheme. I tried it on neovim for my Macbook and fell in love with it. I used Gruvbox to start and then Kanagawa, but something about them always felt off. Everforest has become my favorite colorscheme for everything. I plan on updating my dot files finally after months of not touching them.
Thirdly, Picom. The Pijulius Picom is so good and I don’t know why I have never used it. On Arch I kept trying to get animations with a bunch of different forks and such but I should have just went simple and started with his. Its so easy to build and then just run picom and boom, simple but clean animations.
I plan I trying to do a challenge of a year or 2 years of just Gentoo. I have really no tie to Windows now that I have pretty much given up on CoD and Destiny 2 so I can kind of dedicate my time to just Gentoo and really explore and understand it. Maybe Gentoo will become my best distro and Arch will be replaced.
This will be updated soon DWM-Dots.
