Window Managers
For those who know me for some time it isn’t a secret that I love WM and rarely use a Desktop environment.
What you probably don’t know is that after years on DWM and lately on Qtile and XMonad, I accepted the challenge a good friend made me and wrote 2 WM based on the excellent lib Penrose.
Penrose is a Rust lib to write tiling window managers developed by Innes Anderson-Morrison sminnez.
With that lib and Penrose.ui I wrote the super simple PWM and WMD77.
Check them out on my Github repositories.
d77void
I had been interested in developing “my own” Linux operating system for some time and so I decided to take a solid system like Void to make my respin with an easy to use window manager like Fluxbox with my usual suite of apps (abiword, gnumeric, scribus, zathura, nextcloud, cmus, mpv, github-client, firefox, geary).
Initially the idea was to have my own system ready to install on the computers that pass through my hands for testing.
After I had it ready however I thought: why not make it available on SourceForge? The first iso I launched was Fluxbox.
Evolved into a respin with multiple WM (awesome, bspwm, dwm, fluxbox, i3wm, herbstluftwm, hyprland, JWM, labwc, leftwm, niri, openbox, qtile, river, sway and wayfire) and the desktop environments Cosmic, LXQt and XFCE.

If you test or use it, be sure to make your suggestions or repairs; I’d love to hear what you have to say and I´ve created a Discord server to answer your doubts and sugestions/needs.
NEW:
Available d77void repository; to use it create a file at /etc/xbps.d/repo.conf with this:
repository=https://sourceforge.net/projects/d77void/files/d77void-repo
CRUX ports
After a few years in Arch, decided was time to try new things as daily driver;
Tried NixOS, OpenSUSE, Gentoo…for one thing or another, all of them failed to convince me. The nearest one, that I still have installed in one of my machines, was Void.
The simplicity, frugality and sane config options of CRUX convinced me; it’s a hell to start, but once you get to know it, it is fantastic!
my CRUX ports repo is available here.
NEW:
I have been working on my Void respin and so d77crux repository for CRUX was outdated in several ports; I gave it a large refresh and now almost all ports are up to date.
Coreboot
Hello,
this will be my new coreboot bootsplash.
My BIOS roms are available here
NEW:
After some research I added the iPXE build option to my roms; currently it is only tested on the X230 and T430 Thinkpads.
