Hey distrohuggers,
Today's update in Tumbleweed was like going from Ubuntu 18. 10 to 19. 04. It is now rocking the 4. 20. 6 kernel, latest LibreOffice, new Mesa graphics, new VLC, and updates to Grub, and the gui package manager, and numerous dependencies, and a few updated KDE applications, ffmpeg, gstreamer, etc. It is really hard to find anything wrong with Tumbleweed once you get the hang of it. Zypper has never failed me. My 2nd favorite Linux command is -sudo zypper dup. - Tumbleweed is now officially -20190205. - Only reason, I am not using it full time, is that I enjoy distrohopping, and I can't seem to get one cloud-based app to work, called -Xenfax. - Which ironically works fine in Fedora 29.

Here I am watching this video on my Manjaro plasma 5 with kwin. the bloatiest bloat there is probably, but I'm happy with it.
I honestly must say that I have respect for people keeping it minimal and very efficient. Because that is where innovations come up often, because of trying to keep the code optimal and fast and tidy.
So, although DWM and Suckless isn't for me personally, I do like to watch any video regarding the DWM and Suckless project. It is interesting to keep track of.

Well, since it is minimalistic they probably aren-t adding features. And if you haven-t been reporting bugs then it is probably working well just the way it is.
I think if there were a security flaw then they would announce it, but otherwise, why would upgrade? Do you replace your car every time a new version comes out?

I tried st from suckless and didn't like it. I hope that you consider looking at my setup: ratpoison + alacritty, which I believe is the closest setup you will get to a shell experience, both in speed and in clutter (distraction-less) desktop. If somebody has a better version of it, let me know.

Not disillusioned with i3 and happy with it's resource usage. It can and sometimes does, freeze. But probably related to Chromium. Might try Awesome to learn a bit more keyboard centric computing. And, of course, Dmenu is fantastic!

The source code is the change-log! Just diff the new and the old version \s
Edit: Just looked into the git history of dmenu. Just 14 commits from 4. 8 to 4. 9 all less than 50 lines.

DT -- I heard that the updates for dwm and dmenu 6. 2 and 4. 9 are to fix some issues with The Stig's clutch-foot interface.
