Other FreeBSD with JWM as the desktop environment !

[teo]

FreeBSD with JWM as the desktop environment uses very little 283 MiB and is very lightweight.

Looks cool, where did you get the FreeBSD logo?

Flat size : 375KiB
Pkg size : 145KiB
Description :
JWM is a window manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in C
and uses only Xlib at a minimum, though additional libraries are
supported for extended functionality and features. JWM supports MWM and
Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH).

That is not 283 MiB. What else did you install?

pkg size shows the space used by the disk. OP in his turn says about memory (RAM) usage (it's also shown as neofetch output in his screenshot).

Which FreeBSD logo? It's the original FreeBSD with jwm, it's not a derivative.

I tried that a while back, part of my drive for a light-weight system with as little GPL software as possible. At the time it felt a little limited, so I stuck with TWM for that purpose. I can't really remember exactly what I found limiting though, and it looks like there has been an update in JWM since then. From your screenshot it does looks a little better than I recall. I may give it another shot.

I liked the appearance! I might give it a try, I tried a lot of WMs but that was not one of them.

Thanks for pointing me to neofetch! I didn’t know about that one. Nice terse display of the system information. It doesn’t detect my WM correctly, though.
