This is an update/ report on my bspwn Journey.
I continue to especially enjoy using bspwm… 
I hope folks find some of my learnings reasonably helpful. Below you will find links to dotfiles on github & gitlab; mind you these will require edits and tweaks depending on your setup/ distro/etc.
My environment uses my own customized bspwm, hlwm (Herbstluftwm) setup derived from materials I “procured” from antiX, arcolinux, manjaro, and anywhere else I was able to dig and ‘borrow’.
Some of the major components I use include:
- Pywal to change the colors and wallpaper with every terminal load.
- sakura is my terminal of choice
- polybar is the panel
- rofi for select online help files and menus plus workspace activities
- zenity & yad for other help and dialog functions
- conky because I can…
- networking is with connman
- bash scripts
I run this ‘setup’ on both manjaro & MXLinux 19 (Debian) machines; polybar likes manjaro better.
Note: Both bspwm & hlwm look essentially identical on my desktop and they share common use of a single sxhkdrc.
Here are the dotfiles:

- All of my work comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied. However…
- It will almost certainly work until it breaks,
though I must admit it may never work or be useful—and that would be sad.- If/when it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.
- As for what you don’t like, it’s yours to do with as you will.
- If you find my materials helpful, both you and I will be happy (at least for a while).
- My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
