Suckless (`dwm`) - Issues

Crashing (January 2025)

DWM was crashing when I did things with browsers. To solve the issue:

cd ~/dev/src/suckless/dwm/
git revert 970f376
# and make clean install (or whatever you normally do).

For more details, see Firefox kills DWM

From Huge delay when opening GNOME applications (including LibreOffice, Evince and Nautilus)

My ~/.xinitrc file contained:

exec dwm

To solve the issue, I added the following source command:

. /etc/X11/Xsession
exec dwm

Tip

. /etc/X11/Xsession is copied from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
