Repurposed a ThinkCentre M720q Tiny as a FreeBSD desktop running Openbox window manager.

These sturdy little boxes are so nice to work on. Unfasten a single screw to slide back the cover, then 2 slots for RAM (2x16GB), 1 TB NVMe, and space to add another 2.5" drive if desired. Ports for ethernet, audio, USB2/3/C, Displayport, HDMI.

@stfn has one and even added a dedicated GPU:

how do i move this window in gnome, i have no idea where to drag from because the title bar is full of widgets

just hold the windows key and you can now drag it anywhere

this feature, in one way or another, existed for more than a decade and is (from my experience) part of #GNOME, #KDE, #Xfce and even #Openbox (some of them disagree on whether to use Alt or the Windows key, but all of them have it) -- even Sway, which is a tiling window manager, still uses the same workflow to reorganize windows

@stefano My last Linux workstation was a dual monitor setup. Ran #Debian with #Openbox for a lean, minimal configuration. Web browser and multiple xterms open on one screen with apps or email with more xterms open on the other. I still used the virtual desktops too.

If the opportunity exists for a multi-monitor setup in your *nix-based OS of choice, take it! 🙂

So still on my #OpenBSD adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it sixel in xterm or the kitty protocol in kitty, I've decided to stick with good old #Xterm . Also on my #FreeBSD daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used alacritty or kitty to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a #Wayland chic on my #ThinkPad I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but #HerbstluftWM and #Openbox are in my sights although I'm still using the default #Fvwm right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into nsxiv for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of imv is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. #RunBSD
Been tinkering around with my #OpenBSD Dell Optiplex 3080 rig learning how OpenBSD differs from say FreeBSD. I've also got X running with the default #FVWM but I cannot decide if I want to install #HerbstluftWM or #OpenBox ? Yes I know the first is a tiling window manager but I know I can setup OpenBox to tile too with a few scripts. I think I'll have to research a tad more and decide later. For now FVWM it is and yes I'm actually liking OpenBSD if I'm honest. #RunBSD #Nostalgia
Decided that using xorg on my dell optiplex 3080 tower under #FreeBSD isn't for me although it bought back memories. I have seen how certain software has already become stale by which I mean no updates or bug fixes in a good 4-5 years. So I've switched back to #Wayland which I still use on my #ThinkPAD . But my experience of using twm and xterm have made me go explore #Labwc again with my favourite Wayland terminal Foot. It's a lovely minimal stacking window manager which can be themed using #OpenBox themes. I have gruvbox dark installed which I quite like. As to what bar I'm going to use ? I'm not sure maybe waybar or sfwbar or even something else ? #RunBSD

Still playing with #Labwc and trying to hate it but failing miserably. I'm a tiling WM girl at heart but I'm actually liking the way Labwc works. There's no IPC for external control, You just use keybinds, rules and maybe some scripting magic with the likes of wlrctl or wob. I'm still running #RiverWM as my daily though and just testing Labwc to see what's on the otherside but hey. ;)
