What: Herbstluftwm
Why: It is the only one I understand and it has decent defaults close to my scheme
Cooper Hernandez
What: Awesome
Why: Too lazy to try any of the other
Kevin Scott
OP nailed it desu
Jayden Moore
What an old-ass screenshot.
Asher Richardson
What:i3
Why: lightweight, easy as fuck to understand and build a config, really nice defaults, lots of people writing soft to use with.
Tyler Jackson
love your config, share ?
Juan Reyes
Your config looks sick, mind sharing?
Wyatt Rodriguez
check airblader dotfiles, he is the dude behind the i3-gaps fork. Font is cpmono_v07.
Jordan Taylor
i3 font?
Henry Bailey
cpmono_v07 or FontBureau Input.
Nathaniel Wood
What? Tmux
Why? Becouse it fast.
And Velox becouse of the same reason.
Dominic Harris
.tar.xz?
Kevin Wilson
Looks fucking sick mate, also a fellow i3 lover
Connor Williams
What: dwm
Why: tags, master/stack layout
On my phone, no scrot
Caleb Peterson
dwm took all of that from xmonad
Ian Nelson
(You)'re a fucking moron, xmonad was inspired by dwm, which dates back to 2006. dwm was a distillation of the ideas of wmii from the same author.

What: stumpwm
Why: controlling my wm from emacs through swank is sexy
Julian Nguyen
Why wouldn't you just take a screenshot

>Best _tiling_ window manager
Xavier Thompson
awesome-wm has the best widget support hands down.
Connor Brooks
What: bspwm
Why: being able to change anything at any time from the shell is pretty much the best you could possibly ask for

i still use screen cause i have scripts for it.
screen 4 lyfe
Angel Hughes
tmux is not a windows manager. it is nice though, and great to use for SSH sessions.
what: i3
why: Dynamic tiling, some nice configuration options, and I guess I just like it.
Jason Edwards
I know that feel. I want to try dwm but it looks too intimidating.
Chase Smith
>tfw i3-cuck
>tfw don't even tile (other then terminals)
feels good famitsu
Ian Fisher
dwm here too.
However when it's updated through the package manager and post reboot - it fucks up urxvt config and I have to rebuild it and quit x-org to unfuck it. Maybe I should just be doing that xserverrc :shrug: ... but that's my only complaint after like 6 years.

bspwm
sane and simple configuration
Adam Stewart

Do you have brain damage?
Carson Price
this pretty much
Eli Bailey
What: Ratpoison
Why: Emacs window management, easy to configure, easy to script, fast, lightweight (1mb).
Grayson White
Config please. I'm dying, here senpai
Jackson Carter
What: BSPWM
Why: I don't have to remember keybinds
Nathaniel Turner
have you given stumpwm a go? it's the 'successor' to ratpoison, if you like emacs window management then you'll love it.
though it is pretty big...
Brandon Reed
Which: i3
Why: manual tiling, TABS (seriously does any other WM support tabbing?)
Jackson Morales
What: Sway
Why: Wayland
Carter Rogers
I believe so, but tabbing is comfy as fuck. Used awesome before and switched to i3 and never looked back. It's the best for laptops.
Luke Jackson
If someone made a modification to TMUX that you could use a fullscreen terminal and be able to attach X11 windows to panes, it would be fucking awesome.
Jayden Jones

Dont need to quit X
Nathaniel Lee
Modified DWM.
Ayden Williams
I could make the gap a little wider, but its pretty much only used to see when one borderless terminal starts and one ends.
Christopher Collins
Gaps suck use a blinking cursor and fading or something to distinguish between active terminals.
Caleb Moore
I really wish someone who'd write an i3 tree-style layout for xmonad. Xmonad is much better than i3 in most regards but I find the flexibility of the tree-style in i3 to be essential.
Jacob King
Would*
Just to clarify I am currently using i3 but used to use Xmonad.
Xmonad was far more stable than i3 — never had any issues in Xmonad but i3 flickers when you close a graphical window and it randomly runs the processor hard for me (although an in-law restart makes it stop).
Samuel Hall
>fading
How do you set up urxvt to do that?
Noah Johnson
My niggers.
What: bspwm
Why: sane defaults, easy to configure, easy keybindings, good mouse integration if wanted.
Justin Harris
URxvt*fading:
URxvt*shading:
Fading for the text and shading for transparent backgrounds.
Justin Kelly
Oh nevermind only the text fading works for the active terminal, I thought there was a way to do it for the background too but I can't figure it out.
Kevin Phillips
screen or tmux?
pros and cons for both pls
Oliver Ross
xmonad has all of that and is only 1000LOC
I bet bspwm is 50K LOC
Caleb Davis
>always have whatever I'm doing maximized
>rarely have more than my internet browser open
>sometimes have music playing but shows song info in top bar and control it with multimedia keys
>just corner tile if I need more than 1 program open
why should I use a tiling wm on my laptop instead of gnome?
Tyler Howard
can you make a webm of what you mean?
use ffmpeg for recording since it's most likely installed
Colton Brooks
