@nixCraft I've been using #vim for 20 years (now using #neovim ). It's still lean and mean when used "vanilla". However, if I enable the autocomplete, autocompile, auto spellcheck, treesitter, folding, etc. then it noticeably takes up CPU as I type. I don't mind paying some CPU for this...
But for eyecandy I really couldn't care less. Loved my keyboard only #fvwm setup. When I switched to #wayland I finally gave up fvwm for #kde . Happily, kde is lean and fast even with eye candy...
🔹Add a "single instance" mode (configurable)
🔹Add a "tray icon" (configurable behavior)
🔹Add an "About" dialog
🔹Enforce using Qt's "xcb" platform
🔹Fix detaching on startup, add a flag (-d) to prevent it
Pretty usable as it is I hope ... although one could of course improve a lot (but have you heard of the 80-20-rule?) 🫣
Screenshot from #KDE this time, no particular reason, I'm still running #fvwm here 😎
Xfce 4 and other Linux desktop managers are popular because of their user-friendly interface and efficient performance, especially RAM usage. Which desktop manager do you use on #Linux?
