Any tiling window manager users around? What window manager/compositor and tiling layout do you use?

In general I don't use a tiling WM, but in those times that I do, it's always Ratpoison. · 1 year ago
@bavarianbarbarian I prefer ratpoison to most "true" tiling window managers :p · 1 year ago
Ah, I remember trying ratpoison several years ago - need to look at it again. The first tiling WM I fell in love with was Awesome, however now I use i3 because it is simpler. I am interested in learning more about Sway though. Sway is on my pine phone with SXMO. · 1 year ago
Are you pain resistant? Then try ratpoison as a WM. Thank me later xD · 1 year ago
I've been on Sway since early this year and even like it enough to put it on my machine at work.
I use a few utilities with it like autotiling and a few others that make workspace management easier. Overall I appreciate how Sway tries to keep things fairly minimal (though I've seen some setups with hyprland that look real nice -- might have to give that a look once it matures a bit). · 1 year ago
I've been using i3wm for a while with very minimal custom setup and it does exactly what I want it to do. Being able to move the windows around freely is fantastic, though I'll admit some things have trouble.
I've considered moving to Awesome a couple of times (mostly because I love using Lua) but I've never bothered taking the leap because it seems like an awful lot of setup to get it working satisfactorily. · 1 year ago
I'm not using any tiling window manager but am using openbox like a tiling WM with mostly fixed positioned windows. · 1 year ago
I use sway. I'm on a MNT Reform and Wayland is quite a bit more efficient with hardware than X is, provided you're running Wayland-native programs. · 1 year ago
