+title: Unix for the desktop
+date: 2025-09-21T00:00:00+08:00
+author: Wickramage Don Sadeep Madurange

+
+The year 2020 transformed my personal computing experience. In March 2020, I
+stumbled upon Arch Linux and discovered that I could customize my desktop
+environment to look and work any way I liked. I exercised that newfound freedom
+to create a Matrix-themed setup:

+
+The system employs the X display server and the i3 window manager. The terminal
+emulator used is Urxvt. The translucent effect is achieved with the help of the
+Xcompmgr compositor. This sort of setup was popular among minimalist Linux
+users.
+
+In February 2024, I switched to an OpenBSD system with Xenocara (the OpenBSD
+build of X display server) as the display server and i3 as the window manager:

+
+Unlike Linux, OpenBSD includes a coherent desktop environment out of the box.
+Except for the window manager, for which I prefer a tiling one, I'm now using
+the default OpenBSD setup. For the window manager, I use dwm from the Suckless
+team.
