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.

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.
