Show off that nice desktop here. All window managers, desktop environments, and operating systems allowed.
Please remember to use thumbnails.

February. Feb-roo-(w)aerie. From the Latin februum, which means purification.

@PackRat, starting the month off right with Openbox. Purification.

@HoaS, I'm also using GNOME. Good to have you back. 6.2G RAM on Wayland? No judgement, I can't see what apps are open. Unused RAM is wasted RAM, I guess.

@Micko01, poor dead hedgehog! /s

Yeah, Epiphany & Steam are open on another desktop.

Not that GNOME is lightweight, even with musl & dinit, here's the bare desktop just after boot:

But the desktop is very snappy and responsive, and the default FreeBSD shell is ridiculously fast compared to poor old bash:

Interesting. Besides the source (BSD vs GNU), the runtime C library (musl vs glibc) and the compiler (clang vs gcc) they used to build the system could also contribute to the difference. When I used their live system, it felt pretty snappy to me, too.

What is the output of,

$ls -las /bin/sh

Back to the screenshot. Xfce 4.20 on Void Linux (musl).

There is also their use of mimalloc, which offers significantly better performance than the default allocator built into musl, as used by Alpine & Void.

Just don't ask who wrote it

Pure as the driven snow:

~$ ls -las /bin/sh
392 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 198800 Jan 13 12:31 /bin/sh
~$

I can't think of another Linux distribution with a genuine /bin/sh, as derived from the original Thompson shell from Version 1 AT&T UNIX. It's the shell OG

How are you getting the workspace number to show on xfce4 panel? The xfce4 plugin work now with 4.20.3?

xfce4 wayland, labwc:

It works out of the box with labwc > 0.8.2 (i.e. on master at the moment, but will release 21 Feb) and xfce4-panel >= 4.20.1

Ok; Void has labwc 0.8.2_1 and xfce4-panel-4.20.0_1; so maybe with the next round of updates.

And the Void mklive scripts now include an option to build a xfce4-wayland iso with labwc as the compositor. Have to build your own though (I can verify it works).

Yeah, Arch Linux just released 4.20.3 which is my I playing with it

Wow, that's nice. Is that what the screenshot above is of - or is it your own custom setup?

It's my custom setup. I've been using labwc for a while. When Xfce 4.20 hit the Void repos, I did a custom build to check out labwc - xfce4-wayland. Nice and stable.

Void just released new installation media the other day so I cloned the mklive repo. Saw the option to create a xfce4-wayland iso with labwc.
