(Don't forget he's 15)
I'd like to stress this again, in case it slipped off of the mind of anyone, he's 15.

What mean by 15
@@its_code 15 years old
@vaisakhkm783 which means that this tool is mede by a 15-year-old boy 👦 . 😃😀cooooool
This is inspirational. At 30 years I wish I had more drive to do more projects like this. Sadly motivation dwindles a lot more than I realize.
This kids learns great skills at young age, I was only able to buy first PC at 24, I'm also 30 now 😅
I kinda feel the same way while being 20. But your comment made me remember there are people older than me that would kill to be at my age. Similarly there are probably 45, 50 year olds that would kill to be your age again and start things they never did.
P.S 30 isn't old.
Proud of you. It was amazing working with you. You really impressed me.
Wow, thank you!
great job cococry.
there are a bunch of programmers out there that only do their work and forget about programming but you went further, that's what makes a truly good programmer.
good luck with your journey
I'm 10 and I wrote a nuclear rocket program.
It is impressive every single time I see or talk about the window manager! 🎉 I wish to see it growing more and more in the coming days 🔥
I’m 15 too, I wrote a C compiler in C. Glad to see there are other people out there who are also interested in computer science and programming.
@@gandelgerlant565Jealous much?
challenge you in what?
You mean you wrote a parser??? There's no way a fu**ing 15 year old kid can write a compiler, it takes ages and requires hundreds of developers to write and optimize one. you have to be a machine to build a compiler by yourself.. parsing techniques, optimizing code, language theory, math, computer architecture... u have to master all those fields inside out each one takes at least 15 year to master .. u really should abandon computer science altogether and dive headfirst into cryptocurrency or whatever kids do now a days and never to return... after all computer science isn't a realm for self-aggrandizement.
@@hinrobalas860 a bad compiler isn’t really that hard to write, thankfully he just wants to brag instead of making something useful
@@hinrobalas860I haven't mastered anything, and it's not just a parser, it generates ARM64 assembly. It's not optimized at all. You don't have to master something to know how to do it. I never said I built Rust or GCC, I said I wrote a compiler. I wasn't self-aggrandizing, I was just excited to find another person my age interested in computer science. I have no interest in crypto-currency or any of that stuff, it's pretty boring and has an environmental cost we shouldn't pay. It seems like I struck a nerve, but you shouldn't go around telling people to quit what they enjoy because you feel inadequate. There're people much younger than me who've accomplished far more in fields of science and mathematics.
"(I'm 15)" has to be one of the biggest flex in the tech community...
Good job and thank you for sharing knowledge buddy!
Today, everything is available on the net.
It's easier than ever.
I'm more impressed by the will than by the technical point of view.
@@hermes6910 I am talking about his will to learn and share at this young age. I was playing Halo 5 when I was his age in comparison...
Bro's only one year older than me and he's writing wm's on C
But seriously, great job man
you have a year left to make a wm, good luck 💀
@@stysan shit
are you making WMs yet?
@@Spiderfffun no, unfortunately
"i use arch btw" energy
As a 15 yr myself, you inspired me to start working on a wayland wm
Exactly what I thought after watching the video
same
You, sir, are definitely worthy of being the man who makes the temple!
Props to you man, at 15 I used to make calculators with Python.
I made at my 14 an app and now I'm earning good money for 16 boy
at 15 I was playing destiny all day, while this guy's making a window manager in C 😂
Dude you're actually insane, being able to make huge complete projects like this (at 15). Whilst I'm still trying to study for CCNA and only having tutorial projects done
dude this is so in-depth so freaking awesome
I love that Terry hasn't been forgotten. Really well done bro.
He will shine forever!
Good job kid. Keep it up. You're an inspiration. I'm 44 and still eat glue.
What a chad. He even put Risen as a background music. Mad respect.
Coding a WM at 15 is very impressive, making a essentially complete produce with releases, various contributions, and a fully fleshed out website is a whole other level, not in difficulty necessarily but in maturity. Keep it up kid!
Damn those animations and effects are super nice
Hardest intro I’ve ever seen. It sent me on a 2 week hiatus of studying the entire life of terry davis until I could find where you sampled him
WOW, you're crazy bro. Huge respect for your work, the window manager looks really nice!
That's awesome. I'm 17 but for me its a very big project
Amazing work! You seem extremely talented, honestly doing this at 15 years old is just incredible.
Just one question, the animations that we see in the video, are those standard in Ragnar, or are they from the compositor? (if it's picom, which fork of it?)
its picom pijulius:)
@@cococry Thanks, man. I wish you all the best.
Keep it up man. I'd say your next focus should be refactoring the main file with modularization in mind in order to improve readability and maintainability over time. 🚀🌕
bro this is fckng awesome dude, props
Respekt, dich als Schülerpraktikant werden die wohl nie vergessen
I’m a cheat developer (And 15) and I am fucking jealous. Good job dude!
Insane, Terry's music is banger
I have noticed a "Road to Samarkand" wallpaper on the left monitor. You have great taste my young friend!
Good job and keep it up for your own sake!
Really cool man. Cool to see people of my age doing things I do like. Proud of you!
I'm 23 and I have a hate/love relationship with coding but this video maybe will change my mind about it
Awesome work, looks insanely good. Keep up the good work!
Nice work.
Awesome Temple OS remix song in the end too, RIP Terry
WTF dude. That's insane. I really liked you did a deep dive into the journey behind it.
Can you please add some accessibility feature in your window Manager.
I am a blind user and there is no any window Manager that support screen readers like orca
impressive that you did this so young but I would just like to say that you shouldn't let it get to your head if possible. I started programming pretty young and I thought I was the next best thing, but only know I realize how arrogant and egotistical I was when it came to coding. great project, it's not for me but it looks awesome
What an amazing man! Keep learning! you're in the 0.0001% of kids your age :) stay humble, stay hungry for learning
Hammer! Also das ist eine tolle Leistung!
I'm old enough to be your grandfather, and I sure know when someone's miles ahead of me. :) Way to go kiddo. I have Ragnar on my backup Arco installation mostly running i3, so not at all the same workflow. Guess I'll do some tinkering.
that information about his age was so important
the earlier you start learning the better, just dont get too cocky
Geile Sache! Weiter so, du hast eine erfolgreiche Zukunft vor dir. Inspirierend und beeindruckend zugleich, weiter so! :)
Great work, you’re a great programmer
(and 15)
good stuff Cococry!! I am making agi right now! (i'm 15 + 4)
Wow, this is impressive! I will definitely use it!
Like WoW, a prodigy. You'll have a beautiful career!
Nice!! I remember seeing your posts about xragnar a while back on Reddit
Very impressive, also +1 for templeOS intro xD
You are a great inspiration
Wow! That's quite an achievement. Keep enjoying the journey.
how tf do 15 y/o have so much time? Impressive wm
Idk im just impressed wayland is just superior For most....
just starting the video and it looks amazing. Will switch after the video.
BROOO WTF you are really good, need to test your WM rn
Amazing, really. You are awesome. :D
(And also 15)
Congratulations; Impressive. I use Arch by the way ;)
Hi this is truly interesting! Its so cool seeing other people my age doing stuff like this id like to get into programming for OS s and systems like this but idrk how to start, like where to learn about what i have to learn if you know what i mean, basicly i dont know what i dont know in order to do stuff like this so... oof yeah im 14 and soon turning 15 it'd be nice to talk to you sometime if you have a discord channel or something!
King Terry would be proud
Kudos to you! That's awesome and I love RagnarWM.
I'll let you into a secret: I'm an 11 year old aspiring backend developer (obviously using a different account for anonymity), and I know Python, JavaScript, Rust and C++. Any tips for learning more?
RUclips minimum age is 13 🤓
use vim. that's it
@@negotiateashx bro thats crazy I didn't know I was too old to use youtube wtf
Read the Plan 9 papers.
Hi this is very nice good job, I do have 1 question:
- will there be support for "xrandr --setmonitor" commands? (i.e. like openbox and marco)
It's completely ok and fine if that is out of scope for your project. It seems like a very good wm already.
Ok I actually tested ragnar on my system and I can see that it does not actually support fullscreen of anything right now, fullscreen of firefox does not enter a real fullscreen, so ragnar is unable to provide this behavior at this time so that's ok.
This is my xrandr script for context, which *causes openbox and marco to force apps like Firefox to be fullscreen in a way that entirely fills 3 of my monitors*
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
xrandr --output DisplayPort-2 --primary --mode 2560x1440 --pos 0x100 --rotate normal --output `xrandr | grep '^HDMI.* connected' | cut -d\ -f1` --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3640x0 --rotate left --output DisplayPort-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 2560x0 --rotate left --output DisplayPort-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 4720x0 --rotate left
xrandr --setmonitor three auto DisplayPort-0,DisplayPort-1,`xrandr | grep '^HDMI.* connected' | cut -d\ -f1`
but just so that you are aware I did test on my system by using this line in config.h and after running ragnar and my xrandr script, everything else that isn't maximizing or fullscreening like just moving windows around on the monitors in stacking mode seems to work fine.
#define MONITOR_COUNT 4
static const Monitor Monitors[MONITOR_COUNT] = {(Monitor){.width = 2560, .height = 1440}, (Monitor){.width = 1080, .height = 1920}, (Monitor){.width = 1080, .height = 1920}, (Monitor){.width = 1080, .height = 1920}};
@@tacokonekobro you have to configure your monitor setup in the config. it supports fullscreen and everything you just have to configure your monitors right in config.h
@@tacokonekoif you press super + f , what happens? is the window fullscreening?
@@cococry When I push super+f in Kitty or Firefox the window fills one of my PHYSICAL monitors but it doesn't fill my entire VIRTUAL monitor composed of 3 physical monitors as created by xrandr --setmonitor command (which marco and openbox window managers both respect and cause kitty and firefox to fullscreen covering all 3 monitors at the same time).
Also I wrote my current changes to config.h in the comment above where I said "#define MONITOR_COUNT 4" etc.
Do you have discord or matrix where I can send a lot of screenshots and pastebins of my configs?
That's amazing, you'll achieve big things if you keep working as hard as you're doing right now
when i was 15 i could barely print a string in C ahahahha
Love the use of the Templeof theme
Looks good will be giving it a try, also you should make a video on how to get started with it, like changing keybindings, the bars etc
great effort i like such videos.
I like such videos because they show thing worth having are hard work and you video shows this
love the animations. very impressive!
This dude right here is talented as heck. A 15 years old made [[his own wm]]?? Thats impressive. How do you even learn programming in the first place? (Give me some tips pls)
Damn i seen ragnar in r/unixporn a few time
and now the surprise , you are 15!
Holy fuck this make i question what i do with my life when i was 15
respect man! very impressive
good on you man! inspiring stuff, you are killing it
(15)
kill with skill. That's all I can think of rn. Kudos man (kid!)
all jokes aside (there are 15 jokes), this is awesome
I wish I were 15 so I could make stuff like this!
damn and i’m over here struggling with basic logic gates lmfaooo, share yo secrets man i would love to hear em
just grinding, no further secret
oh mein Gott es ist sehr schön
wow congrat 👏👏👏👏👏
"Minimal X Window manager", unintentional oxymoron
Bro how do you get time outside of school to work on all these big projects? Im 17 right now and barely get time for any coding whatsoever due to preparing for entrance exams and stuff. Btw what country are you from?
He's from germany, precisely Baden Wuerttemberg (as stated in another comment here).
Yeah. He couldn't be unschooled if he's from/in Germany.
templeos music is a nice detail
Here I am 19 years old, getting tons of error while making a basic calculator ;-;
lol getting errors all the time will help you to improve because you will be learning from your mistakes
Same 😔
1:03
idea *tiling in your head
welcome!
As someone who is also 15, this makes me so sad why can't I be this smart 😭
Guess I gotta start working on my own Wayland compositor now that I was already planning on making so I can inflate my ego a bit 😂
jokes aside, this looks SO cool!!! Very impressive :)
Ragnar, it looks like viking or something, hmmm... I'll try it.
I look forward to seeing you write your own TempleOS by the time you're 18 :)
Are you 15 by any chance
Hi 😀 Thank you for the video 😉 Can you, please, say the distro you're using and the desktop environment ? Thank you ;)
Love it, keep going! (he is 15 guys)
Great work man
for ur age this is impressing!
So cool! (and you're 15!)
As a tip, consider splitting your code in multiple files, if you use like 3 or 4 files it is really easy to explictly declare them on your Makefile
Great work
Disregard makefile, embrace Riker
@@smorrow Another build system?
@@albertovelasquez9027 The last build system we'll ever need though
How did you learn video editing? What software do you use?
back in the early 2000s when netscape collapsed and went broke because couldn't compete against microsoft, they rewrote the source code of Netscape so they could release it as open source, and they called it Mozilla, according to Brendan Eich the creator of Javascript, the name means the monster that kills Mosaic the very first browers, so no one cared about the mozilla code until a 16 year old kid made a huge update to the whole codebase, his declaration was "it was horribly organized, it was a mess so I put it in order" and the guys at netscape loved it. This was long before the days of Mozilla foundation and Firefox.
Making a WM at 15 is a big W fr
Is that initial soundtrack a remix from TempleOS?
Yes it is
Viewer took 100 damage.
Its super effective!
wow, amazing work.
did you have any experience with programming prior to making ragnar?
you've inspired me to make my own wm, and am reading the article in hopes of someday having my own wm, fit to my own likings. :)
yeah i had programming experience of like 2-3 years with C/C++
Respekt, bin selber auch 15 und versuche im Moment auch eine WM mit Rust zusammen zu basteln (mit Wayland Support)
Dürfte man fragen aus welchem Bundesland du kommst? Außerdem hast du echt nice Videobearbeitungsskills, freue mich auf ähnliche Videos :D
hört sich echt nice an! ich lebe in baden württemberg :)
Woher wusstest du dass er deutscher ist? Nur vom Akzent?
For a 15 it's impressive to do that in C! Average 20 years old "programmers" now say how they are so good in printing Hello World in Python
Nobody can print Hello World in Python as well as I do.
What distro and desktop environment are you using? Looks really good!
I am using my own window manager, Ragnar and arch
@@cococry Thanks :)
