In Fedora, or FreeBSD, I am able to use either labwc (an openbox replacement) or dwl (a dwm replacement. However, neither of these seem available through epel. I’ve tried rebuilidng some Fedora rpms, but there are various dependencies beyond my limited abilities to fix. Is my best bet to do a reque…

Lots of acronyms, what do they mean, and what do they do?

[image] scottro: Is my best bet to do a request for enhancement with EPEL? See if someone has packaged it in copr - I use copr with Rocky to use Cinnamon Desktop. If not, yeah probably request EPEL.

@gerry666uk , my apologies, EPEL is Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux and has a lot of things that RH (RedHat) doesn’t. The dwl is just a name for a window manager. @iwalker , thanks, I don’t think there’s a package in COPR, but I’ll doublecheck, and then probably request at EPEL. Thanks

Found nothing in COPR so I filed a request. I sort of guessed at what component to use, but anyway, we’ll see what happens. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2330092

something like this? https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/yalter/niri/ [image] GitHub - YaLTeR/niri: A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor. A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

That might also work, but at present I’m trying to stick with the one I know.
