Left: launcher button. Then all my workspaces, even when they're empty. The active windows and on which workspace they are. Playerctl (when you're playing sth). Tools, tray. volume, clock.

In all excitement et all I tend to forget how solid nwg-shell on Sway actually is. All frills if you want them, it just works. Foot as terminal is making a strong comeback also. Slackware Tilers has been my main home for 40 days now. Ain't leaving anytime soon.

All working superbly.

So. That iso with Slackware, nwg-shell on Sway and Niri plus a shitload of goodies (thnx @… ) installed nicely. Cleaned it up a bit and added and compiled Mangowc (aka maomao) myself, to have a closer look at it. Added Homebrew, Flatpak is there by install.

So, I'm getting down to the core:
1. Slackware with nwg-shell Sway and Mango

All working superbly.
One SSD left. FreeBSD? I think so.
