    Maybe some day I'll finish configuring dwm/dwl and dwmblocks/somebar+someblocks and use it, but even then XFCE will always be my fallback.

    Ah yes, correct. The dwmblocks-async author says statuscmd is needed on https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/dwmblocks-async for clickable blocks. I did pull that in a while ago into my dwm code, but forgot that it's only needed there for clicking. Good call!
