      I wouldn't call it the hardest. It has a learning curve and config.h scares some people away but most get the hang of it if they have time for it.

    Using git branches for each patch and merging the branch into the master branch is the most efficient way to preserve a working dwm instance before adding a patch.

    Good tips on what to do post installation! Now, for anyone wanting to know how to actually install dwm on an Arch-based system, just open a terminal and type 'sudo pacman -S i3-gaps'. Don't worry about the spelling... that's just one of the quirks of dwm. :P

    _Windows_ is likes vanilla ice cream
    _Mac_ is like Ice Cream restaurant. Even to buy *cookies* you have to rely on the restaurant staff
    _Linux_ is like street ice cream stall - You have Chocolate, butterscotch, mango all flavours. You could get stomach upset but variety is great.

      This is the patch I was talking about. dwm.suckless.org/patches/alwayscenter/
      All it does is make sure that floating windows are always centered when spawned, so it's not exactly what you want, but close.

    Is there any way to make slstatus blocklets clickable like in dwmblocks? I'm looking to switch from dwmblocks as it's the biggest pain in the ass I've ever had. I scroll to change the volume and 2 other blockets randomly disappear until they refresh and show again.
    pain and suffering

    • @TheLinuxCast

      As far as I know, you can't do that with slstatus.

      Ik this is late, but if you still need it or someone else, there is dwmblocks-async which is the best solution i found, fixes all the bugs. Works perfectly.

      One of the most useless comments on UA-cam I've ever gotten. Also, learn to capitalize nouns, bro, you sound like an idiot.
