Regarding DWL and Slackware 15 being too old, while I understand that some bleeding edge distros are more compatible with Wayland, I don't see that as a fault in age but application. I consider Wayland to be an important project, but I can't imagine switching to it in less than 5 years time. In it's present state it has far too many restrictions and faults that have little or nothing to do with age of either the software or the user.

It's all about workflow and use case.

Huge thanks to lancsuk!

I know of that one distro, devs use the one older than the current release just because most things are broken in the most recent "stable" one :rolleyes:

It's not the compatibility as such, the fact is, DWL is wlroots 0.17.x based, which needs a lot of current stuff.
ninja, meson, libdram, wayland, wayland-protocols,pixman, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Understood, lancsuk, and I am glad you've worked out a way that suits your use case and workflow, especially while still in the Slackware milieu. I have zero experience with DWL so I have no idea if it offers me a valid cost/benefit relationship. My concerns are with Wayland. It still has a few deal breakers for my use case and likely will for a few years yet.

Xorg is a ramshackle, patchwork quilt, spaghetti mess but it is utterly amazing that it works so well so many decades later. It's also amazing that after more than a decade, Wayland hasn't yet caught up. Additionally there are hard restrictions built into Wayland that I have no idea if they are intrinsically required, instead, or will be phased out any time soon as it nears fruition.

A very nice image! :hattip:

Just a facelift:

Simple and usefully.

This is a David Mann painting. He pretty much got me in my 20's to a 'T'. I'd been riding Harley's since I was 18 by this time. Me and my buddies were free souls and did what we wanted. We'd pick up some chicks and bring 'em home and do just what you see in this picture, lol. Man oh man, I sure do miss those days. Still on a sled though, even with a disabled back and having been t-boned two years ago that messed up my left calf so that now I have a metal rod through the large bone from knee to ankle. Took a year to re-learn to walk, heh. Still do things like in the picture, but don't smoke weed anymore, slowed on the beer too...I get too wild for it anymore at 62 years of age, heh.
