OROBORUS(1)

📦 version 2.0.20, in ubuntu jammy

✨ OROBORUS(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for oroborus, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of the manual. it's giving "small but mighty" and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

oroborus — a lightweight, themeable window manager for X. 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so. Oroborus is a small and simple window manager, and the way it does exactly what it says it does?? refreshing, no cap. it manages windows. that's the whole thing. periodt. 🎀

there is no fancy doc, no clip, no wharf, and no root menu — like, not even a little bit, not for that matter. if you want those lil extras you get them from other programs, for example "deskmenu". (iykyk 💜)

what it does have: support for Gnome and session management, or you can just run it as a stand-alone window manager. either vibe works. 🔥

🌈 FILES 🌈

see oroborusrc(5) for the details, bestie — that's where the tea is. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Oroborus accepts the following options:

  • -r, --file=FILE — use an alternative rcfile instead of $HOME/.oroborusrc. 🗂️
  • -r, --display=DISPLAY — use an alternative display instead of $DISPLAY. 🖥️
  • --sm-client-id — use the specified session management id. 🪪
  • -v, --verbose — print more information. 📢
  • -h, --help — show a summary of options. 🙋‍♀️
  • -V, --version — show the version of the program. ⭐
not me pointing out that -r shows up twice up there — once for --file and once for --display. that's literally how the original page lists it, i'm not editing it, i'm just observing. 💀
