kinda glad I bounced off of the suckless ecosystem when I realized how much their config mechanism (C header files and a recompile cycle) fucking sucked

    the one nice thing is that the suckless ecosystem’s simplicity means that forking these things should be fairly easy for a dev or group with the time and spoons to handle maintenance, and might even provide a new direction for features that suckless would never consider

    Taking suggestions on fast minimalist launchers and windows managers tiling ideally (and terminals with Unicode support rxvt suuuuuuuuuuucks) if anyone has them.

    unfortunately, the only thing I use is emacs (exwm as a tiling window manager, emacs itself as a process launcher, vterm for a mostly not terrible somewhat high performance terminal, a pile of Lisp that keeps growing as I patch things live, all tied into the system with a bunch of Nix)
