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.)

Anyone get #StumpWM working on #Gentoo #Linux?

It seems there is an issue in CLX or maybe SBCL that causes StumpWM to exit with an error at start. Supposedly fixed in updated CLX package, but that isn't in portage yet.

I'd like to try putting the newer version in /usr/local/ and having StumpWM use that. Not sure the best way to go about that, though.

Or, maybe a local package (portage overlay) would be better? Haven't done that before - maybe a good spring break project, though.

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.

Upgrading my monitor to 3440x1440, from 1920x1080. Physically about the same size (about 2-inches longer, diagonally). I might even put two windows next to each other. Or, I might try #StumpWM.

Time to go download a gig or so of wallpapers / backgrounds from #DigitalBlasphemy. Only ever downloaded the 1920x1080 ones.

I'm pooped. I think I'm going to take a nice, relaxing shower in the dark, and then work on my #stumpwm and #guix config. My OFFICIAL name change was today! :D So I'm officially Knut Asbjornsen - the crazy half-baked Norwegian American dude. I am what I am. I'd really like to thank my #trans peeps for encouraging me to be what I am, do what I do, and go for it. It's been liberating. :3

I'm pooped. But excited for Wednesday. It's a lot of work getting a name change by yourself. But it can done. The courts are really cool. But if they want something done a particular way, your ass better get it done right then and there. If you're quick and don't waste their time, they'll be quick and help you out as much as humanly possible. They don't waste time with people who waste time. But now to play with #guix and #stumpwm #law #court

I just love how easy it is to tweak #stumpwm while it's running. Just keep a #sly connection open and the config in an #emacs buffer, then you can very easily implement whatever you want to do with a couple of commands.

#stumpwm is looking increasingly awesome, now that I've managed to iron out some initial kinks and connected it to #slynk.

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.

Figuring out a stupid solution to a stupid problem with my #Emacs on my #Guix / #StumpWM machine.

There's surely an actual fix for this, but I figured out a stupid workaround at least.

Guix, XIM, Emacs, Multi_key, Shft+SPC | The Neo-Babbage Files

(Want to compose characters? Then you can't scroll backwards with Shft-SPACE. Want to scroll backwards with Shft-SPACE? Then you can't compose characters.)

So I decided to checkout #wayland. Since #stumpwm don’t support wayland, I gave #kde #plasma a shot. And it is so nice . I might hang around it for a while.

My OpenBSD Thinkpad that I use mostly for my studies.

The screen is small but the setup is comfortable.

Arguably the most useful thing I've ever set for myself is these StumpWM clipboard -> Org capture templates shortcuts: https://siegetower.pages.dev/dev/2023-09-22-interface-for-stumpwm-with-emacs

A few weeks ago, having upgraded both the operating system (due to security requirements) and #Emacs, my window manager, #exwm, stopped working. Okay, switched to #StumpWM, which is fine, but I missed exwm. Just spent a couple of hours cleaning up my configuration files and getting exwm working again! Happily back in the fold.

Hey how do you set the default terminal in #stumpwm? Can't find anything in the docs

Having a nice tiling window manager is essential when running a pocket-size laptop like GPD Pocket.

My heart is with #StumpWM
#CommonLisp

@anthonyg I'm still meant to try #stumpwm one of these days...
