Same here, still using fvwm2, and have tested fvwm3. I use it on large screens. fvwm is the main reason I dread wayland taking over. But at least the *BSDs will be on X for a while longer.

one of us, one of us ! there are literally hundreds out there !

i for one have migrated to fvwm3 (https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3) almost everywhere i can. i don't think i am ever switching to anything else. reason: nothing better exists :o) not for the lack of trying mind you !

heck, even at work, where i log into a aws machine, i have it running with x-forwarding over an ssh session (using x2go) from within my mac. it looks something like this: https://ibb.co/DHYbM45J

unfortunately, i just realized, that on github, my config is not up to date, will update in a couple of days.

i would be remiss to not mention my huge thanks (fwiw) to mr. thomas-adam the current maintainer + project-lead of fvwm3. thank you !

ps-01: for folks getting into it, this: https://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/index.html is not-too-shabby a launch point.

ps-02: deep wiki has fvwm3 indexed here: https://deepwiki.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3
