Which Tiling Window Managers do you like, and why?
3 years ago by Cyclohexane to c/linux
feel free to list other window managers you've used.
I have been happy with bspwm, but considering trying something else. I love its simplicity and immense customizability. I like that it is shell scriptable, but it is not a deal breaker feature for me.
I like how the binary split model makes any custom partition possible.

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've probed a few tiling wms: dwm: never ending tinkering, a lot of frustration and despair with incombatible patches. i3: manual tiling is not for me. spectrewm: nice, but too less features. xmonad: nice, but Haskell. Awesome: at first it was not my favourite, but it comes with most of the features I need. Missing features can be added in a short time (awesome is build from C and Lua, awesome's plugins are pretty simple lua scripts). Awesome is full operable via the mouse or the keyboard - awesome is able to act as a stacking window manager; a very handy feature, when coming from a stacking window manager (I've used icewm for twenty years). Summary: a very good tool to form a work environment that is adapted to your personal workflow.
