ITT: software you replaced with suckless alternatives. I'll go first.

GNU/Linux -> OpenBSD

OpenBox (fucking XML) -> FVWM/wmii

xv -> sxiv

irssi -> sic

ImageMagick -> netpbm

mplayer -> ffplay

xmms -> mpg123/ogg123

xpdf -> mupdf

sylpheed -> mutt+fdm

Firefox -> Netsurf

gedit -> sam

Yeah, I know, FVWM isn't too suckless, but it's 1) the default on OpenBSD and 2) stacking. I wish there was a simple, light suckless stacking wm, because stacking is actually better than tiling. When you use a stacking wm, you're attention is on moving windows, you have do do much high-level thinking to just use your computer, while you are using the motor, reptilian brain when stacking, and you are much faster that way.

I caved in and switched to dwm

Feels good man.

Why would you use a DE in 2015? All you need is here.

Why don't you use cwm anon?

>>750

cwm is too inconvenient a stacking wm, it's very slow to use. I'm happy with dwm right now.

Actually, nevermind anon. Cwm is better.

bash -> mksh

Though mksh does have some "bloat" in common with bash, so I guess the truly suckless alternative would be dash or rc.

OpenBSD is suckmore.

sxiv is suckmore.

irssi is literally suckless.

netsurf is NOT suckless.

mutt is also suckmore.

Install Gentoo and emacs, that's all you'll ever need.

what's wrong with mutt?

so far i only used it for testing because mozilla products can't handle ECDSA signed certificates but it seems really cool.

not switching to geany.

Why?

Geany is gtk bloat why would you use that?

ksh and csh are both fucking horrible.

mksh or rc are the way to go.

Otherwise, it's pretty good.

Try running this:


ps $$

which should give you something like this (if you're running mksh):


  PID TT  STAT    TIME COMMAND
64117  2  Ss   0:00.02 mksh

question for you suckless tards, does making an algorithm more clever and more efficient make it suck.
