I've been hopping around on windowmanagers for a while, and bspwm is one that I've wanted to like, but never got quite on with, it just never really cliqued with me, so I decided to delete my whole configuration and start from a completely blank slate, and it was really a good choice.

I don't know what changed, but I have a feeling that it was my mindset, this time I sat down enjoying and trying out stuff from the great man page, and slowly adding one thing after the other, as you can test out what will happen in the terminal before you commit it to your configuration it's a great feeling.

Much like arch feels like building up an operative system that exaxtly fits your way of working bspwm is kind of like slowly build up a window manager that just fits how you work.

Bspwm is really scriptable and just feels malluable and fast to work with so you can do just what you want, so now I have shortcuts for sticky windows, to balance sizes, change gaps, and it just feels like I've set it up exactly for me, and it's a wonderful feeling to work with it.

I think I may have found a place where I will have to stay for a while, since it's kind of hard to beat something that you get so invested in.

A second little thing that I've been working on lately is an automatic wallpaper switcher in rust that really was a lot of fun, it was an amazing experience, and I should probably write something about that as well.

In case you're wanting to look at my dotfiles you can find them over on my github page but if you're really wanting to get something that you can really feel like is made for you it's probably better to just start from a blank slate and just take some inspiration or look up things others have made, there is really very few limits to what you can do with this thing.
