From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This posting is intended to function not only as a tutorial but, also, as a review and commentary on my ‘long-term’ use of spectrwm as my primary window manager (long-term, meaning at least one month of daily use).
#Linux #spectrwm #Tutorial #Review #Debian #ArchLinux #OpenBSD #Technology
IMO too much "Tutorial", not enough Review. For example:
You haven't written a single word on how it's different from any tiling manager, nor what and why you changed.
Generally the article feels like the first comment in unixporn, where you list out your relevant dotfiles. The only extra information is that you like it, and a list of dependencies for your config.
FWIW you omitted the my mention that Conky is not fully functional in spectrwm and that there are no plans published re: future developments (Wayland etc.)... which in truth are big deals to me. Otherwise, I agree with your critique. ==> If you wish to see the article with several new revisions.... it has been updated. Thank you for the constructive critique.
