thanks!! this is my main computer now
Always had an eye for openbox 🤩
it’s been a long time since i’ve used X11 (haven’t tried wayland on such old hardware), decided to go classic, OpenBox was the first WM i used!!
I think you’ll be surprised with wayland’s results. I’ve used it in 32 bit machines older than that and had both great and terrible experiences, so it depends on hardware. Thinkpads I imagine all are well supported
EDIT: actually, I just remembered I used to have Sway on FreeBSD on a Thinkpad X61, and it worked great
I still find an excuse to actually use it now.
Because it’s a 1gb ram tiny vps instance, because it’s a raspberry pi, because it’s a 128Gb 16 amd cores but all ressources must go to business …
Sir/Madam, I will very appreciate your gesture of sharing the photo of your 3-screen setup.
hi! im afraid it’s just one screen and 3 screenshots of it stiched together. it’s just an external monitor with vga, i wanted to use my vertical monitor with the thinkpad dock too (dvi cable) but it doesnt work (maybe it wasnt meant to be used like that?)
Ahh, okay. Thanks.
