Wait, why does #suckless use git? It's too bloated and has a runtime configuration language, so it goes straight against suckless principles!

My Alpine install is complete.
Surprising absolutely no one that has known me for a while, I am running dwm.
What an amazing distro. I think I am probably going to move to Alpine full-time.

I use dmenu as my main UI, not just dmenu_run.
Super+Space opens a small menu script that launches apps and system actions (WiFi, reboot, shutdown),
all keyboard-driven via sxhkd.
No panel, no mouse menus, WM-agnostic.

Just switched to mtm (Micro Terminal Multiplexer) a suckless-style terminal multiplexer that does ONE thing: split panes. No sessions, no bloat, just ~1000 lines of clean C code.
The codebase is surprisingly readable and well-organized... unlike larger projects where you get lost in abstraction layers, mtm's simplicity makes it an excellent study resource for learning C.
You can actually understand the entire program flow in a reasonable amount of time.
Bonus: there's already a SlackBuild available, so Slackware users can integrate it seamlessly into their system without manual compilation headaches.
If you want tmux functionality without tmux complexity, check it out.

dwm 6.8 dropped on Jan 30 and this one deserves attention.
Less than a month after 6.7, suckless pushed a security fix and bumped
the version. That's pretty rare for dwm.
If you noticed Telegram's image previews shaking in 6.7, that's why
a wrong return value check broke atom property reading entirely.
Patch: https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/a9aa0d8ffbb548b0b1f9f755557aef2482c0f820.html
Six lines changed.
Update your build.
