Fellow dwm adopter here. Still getting used to it. No need for anything else.
my “apt” unexpectedly killed most of gnome with a bad package. Went back to twm for a while, eventually found dwm.
> tiling
No it does tiling, but also monocle and regukar floating windows, and you can pop out any window to floating individually.

Only bug I’ve found is it sometimes crashes with firefox on videos with carefully crafted unicode which dwm tries to put in the title bar.

You do think about us.

>Americans at 19th-century World's Fairs felt insecure about European judgments of U.S. culture and industry, striving to prove their nation's worth against "European prejudices and attitudes of superiority"
>in the late 1800s, American elites sent their children to study in Germany and France, believing German universities and French arts represented the pinnacle of intellectual and cultural refinement
>early American architects and city planners modeled public buildings and urban designs after Paris, Rome, and London, reflecting a belief that European classicism embodied civic dignity the U.S. lacked
>during the Progressive Era, U.S. reformers looked to Bismarck's Germany for inspiration on social insurance, viewing European welfare policies as more humane and advanced
>in the 1920s, American expatriate writers like Hemingway and Fitzgerald romanticized Paris as a haven of artistic freedom and sophistication missing in "puritanical" America
>post-WWII, American urban planners lamented the "cookie-cutter" suburbia of the U.S. compared to Europe's historic, walkable cities with robust public transit
>in the 1970s energy crisis, Americans admired European (especially Dutch and Danish) approaches to cycling infrastructure and fuel efficiency
>the lack of universal healthcare in the U.S. has long prompted comparisons to "civilized" European systems, with critics calling America backward for not adopting them
>American parents often cite European (e.g., Finnish or German) education models as superior in fostering creativity, equity, and critical thinking

>food critics and chefs, from Julia Child onward, have framed French culinary tradition as the gold standard, with America playing catch-up
>Europeans' guaranteed paid vacation (4–6 weeks) is routinely contrasted with the U.S.'s zero federally mandated days, fueling envy and reformist rhetoric
>gun violence debates frequently invoke Europe's strict regulations and low homicide rates as proof of a more "mature" society
>in climate policy, Americans point to Scandinavian leadership in sustainability as evidence of moral and technological superiority
>European attitudes toward work-life balance—long lunches, siestas, shorter workweeks—are held up as more humane than America's "hustle culture."
>public intellectuals like Tocqueville (though French) set a precedent: Americans internalized the idea that Europe offered cautionary or aspirational mirrors of democracy
>Cold War-era cultural diplomacy saw the U.S. anxiously measuring its "high culture" output against Europe's centuries-old institutions like opera and ballet
>the U.S. prison system is often condemned by comparing its mass incarceration rates to rehabilitative European models like Norway's
>architectural critics lament America's car-centric sprawl while praising European compact, mixed-use urbanism as more sustainable and socially cohesive
>parenting debates invoke "French parenting" or "Dutch happiness" as superior philosophies fostering calmer, more independent children
>in rail travel, Americans mourn the absence of Europe's fast, affordable, and scenic intercity trains as a sign of infrastructural decline.

Hello everyone, I have an old desktop PC sitting right there doing nothing. I'm trying to give it a reason to exist and evaluating the idea to install Windows 7 on it.
So, can you use Windows 7 in these days? How much do you have to debloat it and uninstall things? And, more important, there's a way to not have it becoming a SECURITY NIGHTMARE?

This is lame as shit. Win32 has done everything you need for many versions now.
Recently things dropped it over GetTempPath2(). The only difference between GetTempPath() and GetTempPath2() is if you are running as SYSTEM, aka fucking nobody because that is one level above Admin that normal programs can't run as without hacks. Gotta use the latest API though, can't be seen using OLD shit.

this is because the linux foundation never bothered to make their own sanctioned distro with the blessing of linus torvalds.
Notice how the BSDs don't have this issue?
That is cause these distros aren't linux as an OS but seperate OSes all doing their own clown shoe thing that just so happen to have the linux kernel.
The only saving grace to this hell hole will be steamOS since valve has pretty much already perfected package distribution unlike the zoo of most distros.
Theres a reason linux games don't release as snap,flatpaks or debs.. it's cause steam has already solved tthe issue and those are imperfect solutions. Hell even libre applications that aren't games are on steam like krita and blender.
At some point all linux apps will be steam apps. All because the macfag incharge of the linux foundation was too busy sucking corporate cock instead of helping fix linux.

They can’t, China is always at least month behind US at almost every technology. However they have massive manufacturing base that mogs the rest of the world.
