# A month in DWM - Moving forward with my setup
|
||||
|
||||
For about a year and half I've been using [i3wm](https://i3wm.org/) as my daily driver under Debian and Gentoo(for my short time with it) and I'lve loved it thus far.
|
||||
As with many things however, it started to get old and I wanted something new without having to distro-hop.
|
||||
|
||||
[DWM](https://dwm.suckless.org/) interested me as its memory usage footprint is tiny compared to i3wm and follows the [suckless philosophy](https://suckless.org/philosophy/) which I still found interesting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Is it /comfy/?
|
||||
|
||||
Absolutely. But I'll let this little clip speak for itself:
|
||||
|
||||
<div style="width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 28.125%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/s/skb0y/tbxohj" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div>
|
||||
|
||||
Once you get past a couple of hurdles with it things becomes really nice and to be honest have spoiled me to the point of just basic tasks in other setups has become painful.
|
||||
_If you're a vim user then you'll know the feeling._
|
||||
|
||||
## Hurdles
|
||||
|
||||
First off configuring anything blows. Recompiling things is just dumb and means you have to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Close everything because you will have to exit dwm + X11
|
||||
2. Exit DWM + X11
|
||||
3. Make changes & recompile
|
||||
4. Test changes
|
||||
5. Often tweak changes and go back to step 2
|
||||
|
||||
Patching is obnoxious on the premiss that I don't want to shut literally everything down just to rice.
|
||||
Which means I messing with things becomes boring leaving me to go do something else.
