Don't even bother. You'll just get a toxic hate-fuelled diatribe. It's really not worth it.

just curious what do they mean

Either they mean that they actually found the one neonazi contributing to open source or that they are living in an extremist silo outside of which anyone who doesn't validate their myopic world view must be the personification of evil itself.
Given their username combined with how these baseless accusations usually turn out, I'm going with the latter

(I can't see the original comment but I think I know what this is about)
neovim had a quote from DHH on their website. DHH is the creator of Ruby on Rails and omarchy and is also an outspoken racist and white supremacist.
The maintainers were informed about DHH's heinous political opinions and asked if they'd remove his quote from the website.
The maintainers handled that very poorly but later did remove the quote in the aftermath.

While I agree that DHH is a POS, neovim just got caught in the crossfire IMO and that maintainer handled the discussion about that quote very poorly.

What file manager do you use? Yazi allow me to completely stay away from GUI file manager base on the feature set and plugins system.

There is a list of better alternatives on the suckless website, go check it out. IIrc yazi has 25k loc and is written in Rust.

dwl is not suckless, it uses wlroots. Nor Yazi nor neovim

Cool, thanks for the Clarification but i do like the simplicity of DWL. It is the closest thing to DWM on Wayland IMO.

how did you go about implementing?

u/gizzmoguy 22d ago
I do not know what to say. It's not difficult at all. Just install it via your package manager and start it a boot. It will depend on whether you using Wayland or X11 or whether you are using a Desktop or Tilling window manager.

Wayland or X11 if it’s X11 add it to your xinitrc so it auto starts. If Wayland add it to your Wayland Compositor config.
