A minimal desktop setup.

Info:

  • Programs: Emacs, Devdocs, pfetch, imv
  • WM: Hikari
  • OS: Void linux
  • Art by: Escher
  • Dotfiles

Recently switched from Guix to Void, mostly because it's much simpler and I felt that my desktop didn't need the complexity of Guix.

“my desktop didn’t need the complexity of Guix”

so … Alpine next?

Maybe, not sure how musl compares to glibc. I quite like Runit and xbps though so I don't feel like I'm in a rush.

10/10 distro and 10/10 setup. FWMs ftw

Yeah, I think Hikari combines the best of both. In the rare cases I need to tile, it has that capability but in most cases I have 1-2 windows and find it easier to work with them when the windows are smaller.

I would use it but on my hardware its buggy and unmaintained.

Hmm how hard is it to configure and add window decorations? I might take a look at it if I can use it without key bindings

[-] mccd@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Configuration is straight forward with a file but you won't be able to use it without keybindings.

Then it's not for me. Thanks for the answer though
