Dear All,
FreeBSD could benefit from reorganizing its directory structure to accommodate
non-X Window managers more effectively. Currently, these managers are all
placed under the "x11" directories, which may not accurately represent their
nature. A more intuitive approach could be to introduce a new "display"
directory that encompasses various display managers. Here's a proposed
reorganization:
display/
├─ x11/
│ └─...
│
├─ wayland/
│ ├─ wayland-wm/
│ └─ ...
│
└─ arcan/
└─ arcan-wm/
└─ durden/
In this reorganized structure, all display-related components, including X
Window managers, Wayland-related components, and "Arcan" with its window
manager "durden," are grouped together under the "display" directory. This
layout creates a more unified and intuitive organization for managing different
types of display managers on FreeBSD.
Criticisms and alternative ideas are welcomed to refine and optimize this
structure further.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
NSD
