Why would people you call luddites even care about your opinion really?

Come back with your Wayland ad when there's something like CWM or FVWM for it.

It's simply functionally inferior now. Calling people luddites won't change that.

Literally, YOU right now.
Also, this is the linux community; everyone has an opinion on everyone else's opinion.

LabWC, Enlightenment, Wayfire, Weston, Sway, Hyperland, Vivarium, DWL, Velox, etc.

It's functionally superior in many ways, and here's the real kicker, its actually maintainable and expandable.
Xorg HDR when? How many decades and still don't have HDR? LMAO.
I'm done waiting for Xorg to improve and implement features that simply will never be.

Just fyi this isn’t the Linux community. It’s just “technology”.

Granted on lemmy it’s basically just one big Linux community.

Literally, YOU right now.

I'm improving the community by answering demonstrably stupid opinions. So I don't care about you in particular.

Sway, Hyperland, Vivarium, DWL, Velox, etc.

Wrong.

Xorg HDR when? How many decades and still don’t have HDR? LMAO.

I don't use HDR and I don't care. Just like you don't care about what I use.

its actually maintainable and expandable.

Yes, I'm sure somewhere 10 years after I'll use it after it's been finally expanded to something usable.

Too bad

You answer you're own opinions? funny.

Wrong

CWM : stacking window manger
LabWC, Enlightenment, Wayfire, Weston, and Sway, etc.

FVWM : Tab Window Manager
DWL, Hyprland, Sway again, etc.

You're factually disproven.

I don’t use HDR and I don’t care...
I’m sure somewhere 10 years after...

Luddite : one who is opposed to technological change.
Thanks for proving my point. For further discussion you can TELNET me @ www.megaboomerenergy.com::80

This is incomprehensible, you are arguing not having seen once what you are arguing about.

If you want a 1:1 equivalent WM, then you'll just have to build it yourself scrub.
The WMs I listed can already do everything CWM & FVWM can, then some.

I can send you my FVWM config and hear how are you going to achieve that.

First I'd start with either DWL, Hyprland, or possibly Sway, then read the documentation re-creating everything as close as possible. (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)
All the features are there, just glue it yourself. Just the same way you'd convert those same configs to an i3 & DWM equivalent.
If you can't deal with that and want a 1:1 WM, then you'll just have to build it yourself or convince one of the other 3 people who still use FVWM to do it.

with either DWL, Hyprland, or possibly Sway,

Do these things allow me to define functions and to call them on focus change, on windowshade, on iconification, on other events? Can I evaluate text returned by a command spawned in those as part of my config, at any moment? Can these functions differentiate between windows by mask? By state? BTW, can I have custom states? Can I have conditionals there? Schedule those functions? Change that schedule?

Just the same way you’d convert those same configs to an i3 & DWM equivalent.

I wouldn't. These are different things for a different workflow.

All the features are there

Where there?

I know you are not an adult.

Yes.

And nobody cares about your workflow, sorry. Go convince one of 3 other people to make your 1:1 equivalent.

Where there?

Consult the official documentation and community configs, etc. It not that fuckin hard dude.

I know you are not an adult.

You're the one who immediately started name calling trying to "correct" me with incorrect nonsense in a different thread, dumbass. Not to mention, "luddite" wasn't even directed at you personally, you applied it to yourself.

Yes

OK, that's my config: https://pastebin.com/AFLe2x8N (messy, but not too much). Until you replicate it for something under Wayland, I don't care.

Do it yourself whiner, I'm not going to convert your 555ln of crap into an equivalent config with all the equivalent necessary add-ons and plug-ins for you. Go ask ChatGPT because an AI is the only thing that'll be able to stand you. You can stay with your abandonware for all eternity for all I care, I'm busy doing things that are much more productive then wasting my time helping an ungrateful egomaniac (e.g. literally anything else).
