From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

Which Tiling Window Managers do you like, and why? (lemmy.ml)

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.

DWM

[–] Onyros 2 points 2 years ago

I ran DWM 6.0.2 with (probably too many patches) for a long time, until I finally migrated to 6.4 and reduced the number of patches I was really using to about 6 or 7.

My first tiling WM was Awesome, but even though I'd heard about DWM before, it took Awesome to take the plunge.
