Multiple projects advanced as PostX Gnu/Linux 0.9 approaches

Based on Debian Bookworm having X11 and Openbox. PostX Gnu/Linux release is likely to happen in next 3 weeks or so.

Have already had their new releases.

Also, I have created a new repository: https://github.com/postman721/PostX

Which for now, has some source materials in it. When release is done, I will also likely release the PostX Gnu/Linux building script. In these days it is good to share. And of course, after more than a decade of Debian I am considering to go ahead and building something else for awhile, maybe OpenSuse derivative is on the horizon. Whatever the future holds, PostX Gnu/Linux will stay active on Debian side and will see an increase on automated builds(currently working on it), which means easier and more predictable times of release.

Folder Compressor & Archive Inspector

Another one of those PostX Gnu/Linux upcoming programs just got released. Still plenty to do but here is some new software to look at.

Code is found from project’s Github page: https://github.com/postman721/Archiver/tree/main

As of 24th of February: This project received a substantial upgrade.

Lightweight Window Manager (LWM)

LWM is a minimalistic window manager for the X Window System built with XCB, designed for simplicity and efficiency. It provides basic window management features like moving, resizing, maximizing, and closing windows, alongside additional controls for window ordering.

Source code is available at: https://github.com/postman721/LWM

Spin-FM RC4 released

The file manager got its RC4 out today. This is close to the final release – but bugs and issues might still exist. Also supporting or more added features might still come.

The main theme now looks like this. And there are multiple themes to choose from.

Code is available at the project’s Github: https://github.com/postman721/Spin-Fm
