It's very useable and low resource and quick. And making it more user friendly is simply a matter of adding extensions, I added a bunch of right-click context menu options to mine, quick image re-sizer and a rotator using imagemagick and yad, open terminal within whatever folder or directory you're in, open as root, edit as root, set image as wallpaper, view exif data etc. etc. basically all the functions you can get from a larger DE file manager like caja.

It's very possible to mimic the functionality of a full DE with Openbox, pcmanfm, and tint2, you just have to connect the dots.

Was super easy to edit the look and colors with gtk2 as well....

But this is just my opinion, someone is more interested in 32 bits on a computer with i7, they have the right!

It's pretty easy to remove stuff. As long as I boot to the desktop at around 100MB I'm fine.

The above is a bit of a cheat as it's on Hyperbola and 32bit so a lower figure than normal distros anyway.  64bit usually adds  about 15MB in my case. I could remove fittstool as I don't use it at the moment unless I login via notion4

Sakura is great because you can copy and paste.

I like Sakura, but you can copy and paste in xterm on Devuan. No need to bring in another terminal.

Do some automagic with an .Xresources file to make xterm look decent...

...Even give it transparency in a picom.conf file...if that floats your boat!

opacity-rule = ["85:class_g*='XTerm'"];

...change 85 to whatever amount of transparency you'd prefer.

On my system, I can copy/paste in xterm...

1. Highlight the text that you want to copy and paste...DO NOT RIGHT CLICK on the highlighted text to select "Copy"...just highlight the text with your mouse.
2. After highlighting the text, go to xterm and middle-click on your mouse. BAM!!! It's there.

No charge. You're welcome.

Edited to add: Add the following to your autostart if you want xterm to look slickly/cooly/shmoozly every time...from your shiny startup until your flashy shutdown...

xrdb -load .Xresources

.xsession-errors

I just delete that file every so often, but the pensive penguin just starts it all over again afterward...

Thanks; good!

By the way, you produce good things! Take care man!

IT only takes up storage space, so it doesn't really affect system performance.  Of course it becomes a pain when it's necessary to actually read the file. Using tools like tail that outputs only part of the file helps with that.

For those complaining that jwm doesn't have an automatic menu.  You can use JWMKit, and those who don't want the whole kit I have stand-alone versions of jwmkit_easymenu - the tool that generates the menu.  A python version and a bash version.  The bash version is simpler (and no depends) while the python version has more advanced options.

You can fine them in my EXTRAS  repository.  Which is just a collection of various things related to JWM or JWMKit.

...The issue is...the kernel...

Just a fact.
.xsession-errors file size
Standard kernel - approx. 40Kb.
The kernel I assembled for a specific computer is ok. 20Kb.
It's mostly filled with lines "Fix_me..." that are interesting only to developers.

I'm not sure how my post was taken, but I didn't mean for it to come across as a put-down upon others if that's how it was taken.

We all have our preferences. Full stop.

What I may accept or deny is my preference. What others may accept or deny is theirs. I never said anything against how others express their preferences???

I have no use for tiling window managers; other people love them.

Am I right, or are they wrong?

It's up to the individual.

Yes, it's fun to see how others configure their system...and glean from their expertise...but at the end of the day, we all make out our systems as we prefer.

Take care.

I'm glad to hear how others configure their systems even if it's something I don't like.  It give me the chance to possibly learn something new.
