Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. The recent proposal from the LF should be condemned and fought against, but you shouldn't be surprised by it, and in general, you really shouldn't be giving them as much credit for the Linux desktop as some people seem to do.

The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.

It's not run by the same kind of people, and does not have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.

It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.

can any of you freaks recommend me an OOMd thing i can run on my linux system? or maybe some settings i can use?

for one: i'm not on a systemd or glibc system, so it has to work on musl and hopefully it should work under dinitctl specifically, but i can work that out myself

hey hey #Linux people, I might need advice to make a decision.

I would like to try out a console-only workflow, i. e. using only CLI and TUI programs, and avoiding the mouse as much as possible in favour of keyboard shortcuts.

Should I go for a tiling window manager/compositor and just 'live' in a terminal emulator?
Or is it feasible to omit X11/Wayland entirely and use a terminal multiplexer such as tmux or Zellij in the default Linux framebuffer console?

As far as I can tell, a proper window manager (or compositor) such as ratpoison or stumpwm has the advantage of, say, a system tray and better support for Unicode, scaling, multi-monitor setups, input handling and so on.

But since I only want to use CLI and TUI applications, I feel like a WM/compositor might be a bit overkill after all. I mean, running a whole display server just to end up with a number of terminal emulators seems very silly when you could just use your actual VTTY. And modern terminal multiplexers such as Zelij allow you to have a status bar too, as far as I can see.

I'm worried this might end up locking me in with a setup that doesn't work in some ways though, e. g. when it comes to font support or colours or inputs or freezing sessions or whatever.

Any advice?
