Ming-wm is a keyboard-based, retro-themed window manager for Linux. It is neither for Wayland or the X Window System - it writes directly to the framebuffer. Inspirations include i3, Haiku, SerenityOS, and Windows98, and it is a conceptual successor to the previous [mingde](https://github.com/stjet/mingde) and [ming-os](https://github.com/stjet/ming-os).

## Running on Mobile Linux
Running with an onscreen keyboard. The framebuffer may not be redrawn to the screen without a (real) key press. The volume down button seems to work. If someone knows why this is the case, and/or how to fix this, please let me know.
More or the less the same, but includes with an onscreen keyboard for touchscreens.
`evtest` needs to be installed. Currently, the input device is assumed to be at `/dev/first-touchscreen`.
`evtest` needs to be installed. Currently, the input device is assumed to be at `/dev/input/by-path/first-touchscreen`, but this is easily editable (see `src/bin/wm.rs`). So, for touchscreen support, the user running `ming` needs to have read permissions for that `dev/input/` file.

Windows (may be called apps in other window managers) can be developed in any language, though it is easiest to do so in Rust because the `ming-wm-lib` crate can be used.
See [koxinga](https://github.com/stjet/koxinga) or `src/bin` for examples. The `docs` directory includes a [brief introduction to writing windows](docs/system/writing_windows.md), and (incomplete) documentation on the workings of ming-wm.

A (very poorly written, and WIP) window is being written in Lisp Scheme: [ming-flashcards](https://github.com/stjet/ming-flashcards).
## Security
Make sure the permissions of `password.env` are so other users cannot read or write to it. If there is no plan to recompile, just delete it.
Understand the implications of adding the user to the `video` group. And if the permissions of a `/dev/input/` file was changed for touchscreen support, understand those implications too.
Obviously, don't run the executable with `sudo` or `doas`, or as the root user!
