I3wm, any progress?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Well, for one thing, an 11-year-old I7 will beat out an 11-year-old ARM 
machine, but a Raspberry Pi 4 for example will probably give it a run 
for its money, not to mention the fact that the I3, I5 and I7 are all at 
least 12 years old in any case. The bottleneck in the Raspberry Pi 4 is 
probably the i/o more than processing, although they seem to have fixed 
a good bit of the i/o issues of earlier incarnations. I do want to see a 
RISC-V computer in the not-too-distant future, as that should blow 
everything out of the water by all accounts, and the architecture is 
open source, and is said to be capable of 128-bit computing.


Regarding the scripts that run Firefox and whatnot, these are still in 
the repository at

https://gitlab.com/f123/Kies

Everything you need is in the folder called kies_wrappers. They used 
startx to run jwm and Orca in the background and Firefox and some other 
apps on top. These certainly could be modified to run flwm instead of 
jwm. As I recall, there were also scripts or functions that would stop 
Fenrir trying to speak the graphical console.
