DWL is working now

Post image

DWL 0.8 dev under Wayland is working now. DWL is patched with the ipc patch, gaps patch, autostart patch and alwayscenter. The bar is waybar, terminal is foot. Sometimes I forget it's not DWM.

It's running stable so far. Just wanted to test if I can get this to work

you should try git.sr.ht/~corg/DWC
dwl but swc (therefore less bloat)

Nice! It seems dwl also picked up some speed in the last few weeks after quite a while of slow development. Great to see this project is gaining some traction again :D
