Sir/Madam, I will very appreciate your gesture of sharing the photo of your 3-screen setup.
hi! im afraid it’s just one screen and 3 screenshots of it stiched together. it’s just an external monitor with vga, i wanted to use my vertical monitor with the thinkpad dock too (dvi cable) but it doesnt work (maybe it wasnt meant to be used like that?)
Ahh, okay. Thanks.
Always had an eye for openbox 🤩
it’s been a long time since i’ve used X11 (haven’t tried wayland on such old hardware), decided to go classic, OpenBox was the first WM i used!!
I think you’ll be surprised with wayland’s results. I’ve used it in 32 bit machines older than that and had both great and terrible experiences, so it depends on hardware. Thinkpads I imagine all are well supported
EDIT: actually, I just remembered I used to have Sway on FreeBSD on a Thinkpad X61, and it worked great
I still find an excuse to actually use it now.
Because it’s a 1gb ram tiny vps instance, because it’s a raspberry pi, because it’s a 128Gb 16 amd cores but all ressources must go to business …
