- jmclnx 9mo agoSame here, still using fvwm2, and have tested fvwm3. I use it on large screens. fvwm is the main reason I dread wayland taking over. But at least the *BSDs will be on X for a while longer.
- signa11 9mo agoone of us, one of us ! there are literally hundreds out there ! i for one have migrated to fvwm3 (https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3 https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3) almost everywhere i can. i don't think i am ever switching to anything else. reason: nothing better exists :o) not for the lack of trying mind you ! heck, even at work, where i log into a aws machine, i have it running with x-forwarding over an ssh session (using x2go) from within my mac. it looks something like this: https://ibb.co/DHYbM45J https://ibb.co/DHYbM45J unfortunately, i just realized, that on github, my config is not up to date, will update in a couple of days. i would be remiss to not mention my huge thanks (fwiw) to mr. thomas-adam the current maintainer + project-lead of fvwm3. thank you ! ps-01: for folks getting into it, this: https://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/index.html https://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/index.html is not-too-shabby a launch point. ps-02: deep wiki has fvwm3 indexed here: https://deepwiki.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3 https://deepwiki.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3
- 0ld 9mo ago2.6.9 is around 6yo now. I had been procrastinating for too long too, with my almost 30yo fvwm2rc, but finally migrated to x11/fvwm3 last month. Wasn’t too complicated in the end
