[WindowMaker] Went lookin for 1998, Found WindowMaker

My Previous Dune inspired rice on i3wm was fun and i still have it running but wanted to try something new and check out a stacking window manager, was gonna betray my people and leave Arch (btw) for Debian but the installer crashed and i took it as a sign. Window Maker has fully filled my appetite for a real retro feel and its a nice break from the daily tiling window manager im used to.

Dock: WM built in

Menu: WM Built in

Icons: Chicago95

Terminal(s): Lxterminal for my main tmux session, tilda for when i need to run a quick command from anywhere.

Tmux session is basically unchanged; a bash session, vim, vifm for my non gui FM mocp & btop.

Launcher: Rofi (theme is a mod of squared by newmanls)

Font: OCR A

Browser: Firefox, heavily userchromed

GuiFM: PCManFM

GTK Theme: Gruvbox Yellow light

Cursors: Simpl1e cursor gruvbox light

Wallpaper: Screenshot i took cuttin about in Pacifica on Cyberpunk2077, heavily edited

Fetch: Custom Bash Script

If you need to redirect output and errors to /dev/null while using bash/sh shell scripting, you can do so by combining stderr with stdout and then redirecting the combined output to /dev/null device. This will effectively redirect any error messages to /dev/null in Linux and Unix.

oh wow.

Oh wow. I guess this like ignoring bash aliases and functions when running a command:

alias vnstat='vnstat -d -i enp0s31f6' # set alias

vnstat # call the alias

\vnstat -m -i br0 # ignore alias and call real vnstat

"vnstat" # another way to ignore alias
