One aspect that's often overlooked with dwm is its portability and uniqueness.
The dwm I'm sporting is one that no one else has; it is totally mine and in that sense unique.You build your own program, patches, binds et al.
Making sure all prerequisites are fulfilled you can then just copy your suckless configs to basically any distro and run a make clean install.
That's why I learned to love dwm and why it's still the best wm around, wayland or not.

Okay, this is the coolest (and most unproductive) thing I've ever done on my server: right now I'm playing one of the games of my Steam library from my laptop connected to the server through the browser thanks to Docker Steam Headless.
This is great as my laptops are not intended for gaming but this is no longer a problem 😎
Now I have to tinker a bit the configs to avoid the annoying video lag, but from what I read on github, there are ways others have used to avoid it.…

New set of #Gentoo #Linux Distribution Kernels (6.1.143, 6.6.96, 6.12.36, 6.15.5) is out. This set brings some major changes:
• I've backported a bunch of changes from sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel to sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel that were missing — notably wider architecture support.
• I've added default #RISCV configs to 6.12 (in addition to 6.15), since Fedora had them.
• All three packages are based off the baseline kernel tarball upstream patch (vanilla-kernel used to fetch patch-level tarball every time, and gentoo-kernel* used genpatches for patch versions). This should reduce disk space and bandwidth use.
• All three packages now support verify-sig. Rather than verifying the uncompressed tarball signature, we now use upstream `sha256sums.asc` file to verify the compressed tarball and patch.
• sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel* now repackages genpatches. This means patchset that's much leaner and faster to apply (since we just fetch and use the combined upstream patch rather than including point patches). This also means that we are able to release Distribution Kernels before gentoo-sources are done.
The changes still need to be done to 5.15 and 5.10 branches — we're going to do for the next upstream releases of these.
