I can't believe this crash ridden peice of WM Still exist.. It was horror just to setup something.

That was always my experience as well. I commend the effort, but I have never been able to use it as a daily driver. Gave up like 10 years ago or more.

They should use AI to organize the change notes as well.

Like almost everyone here I only recall this DE/WM with nostalgia. It’s interesting to see how minimal it is now. It felt like the height of maximalism back then. And on very weak hardware had compositing.

I would say in the old days (2001-2002) it was more like a "minimax". It was maximal minimalist. It had really fancy visuals that worked on fairly slow hardware. I was blown away.

As was I. Ran it on a Via pentium-compatible!

I remember when this came out. It was so cool to see all effects and nice graphics. I did not even know it still existed. Either way great work and nice to see it back.

It's been in development for 26 years and still isn't 1.0, I wonder what the criteria for that is.

By the time they reach 1.0 we've long switched from working with GUIs to speaking to AI.
