That's really good! 2 questions: What were your compile times like for AwesomeWM, and what terminal emulator are you using that can diplay pictures in it?
Apologies for the late reply here - compile times are pretty quick. After configuring I’m really not recompiling; are you curious about the literal compile time of awesome itself or load up time from startup for example?
Pictures in terminal are done by ranger. I’m using kitty for my terminal - I’ve had more benefit from running it over something like alacritty for example.
I'm curious about the compile time specifically, because if I decide to use Gentoo one day, my dwm and dwl configs are pretty bare bones, and I haven't been able to motivate myself to make these work for me properly, so I would prefer to use something reliable that always works everywhere, that being: AwesomeWM. It's the only window manager that has worked properly on any distro I've ever tried it on, without exceptions. That's why I was asking.
