I use sway
(but I do have xfce installed in case I need it)

>>108524559
They finished.

I use KDE scripting.

>>108524559
All the tranny configs are slop. Every twm that isn't i3 or sway is just based on a gimmick that they propose to their users as somehow an improvement.
Two keybinds:

bindsym $mod+Return exec wezterm start --class wezterm
bindsym $mod+ctrl+n splitv; layout toggle stacking splitv

No other window managers are this fast.
The others are just grifter capitalism and cope. With some few exceptions. I can build a master/stack and fibbo layout in i3 just as fast as in any other wm. I can navigate it just as fast. I can swap windows with marks. I can spawn a tab or stack inside of any window in two keybinds.
DWM is an unfinished product.
Hyprland is hype-driven, so will become bloat, regardless of how "good" it is at any point in it's lifecycle. Give me a wm, I'll give you the gimmick.
i3 isn't pretending to be something it's not. Trannies don't like i3.

>>108524559
They're honestly not that great to use in practice. And non-tiling WMs already now do stuff like splitting windows left and right or even corners and that's enough for me.

>>108524559
i use aerospace on macos. it makes it useable so no they are not a meme.

>>108524559
KDE has the best gaming performance which in turns means it has the lowest dpc latency/battery usage compared to others.

>>108524559
i still use awesomeWM on my laptop and its great. in general TWMs make a using a laptop so much nicer since you dont have to use the shitty mousepad. idk why anyone would use a TWM on their homestation though

>>108524559
If you'll notice, five years ago Luke Smith was still posting regularly about his Autistic X220 Tiling Window Manager setup. When he dropped off the face of the Earth and started focusing on religion and went full hermit and stopped releasing videos about all of this arbitrary and useless tiling window manager nonsense, people stopped caring.

The groupthink and idol worship on this website is really evident once the events have passed.

Tilling sucks unless you have some crazy battlecruiser setup with massive display.

>four windows fighting for space on the screen, with scaling making them too small to be readable.
>plenty of GUI programs can't even scale properly
>ultimately you are either forced to fuck around with multiple desktops or limit amount of opened windows

What's the fucking point? Most modern floating windows manager have option to auto-place windows in tile-like format without raping you out of option to move and resize them freely.

I've been using i3wm since I switched from Windows to arch back in October. I don't really work on my computer anymore. My computers are just nodes in a swarm and I do all my work on my phone with wireguard and SSH now. DEs don't do anything that I can't do better myself. Too much bloat.

Make a better terminal.

>>108524837
"massive display"? 32" with 4 terminals open is comfy and not cramped.

>>108524861
Dispute it. I'm not reading the docs of every window manager to write a research paper for a much of drooling morons.

I have the exact shade of transluscent that the brown people are worried about, buddy.

>>108524559
I use icebox and fluxbox sometimes. In all honesty aside from how annoying they are to get running the end result with a floating wm is just a very light and janky version of a DE. Tiling is a meme for the most part too and is easily done by most os.

>>108524883

Nah. You already deleted your post

>>108524895
No, I reposted the correct link. Actually read. You're the lazy one. Try not to admit it so blithely. Your psychology is showing.

hyprland has made tiling wm more popular than they have ever been before what are you talking about

>>108524904
I'm glad we agree that you deleted your post, not sure why you're getting so hung up on semantics, or are upset that people won't do research about meme window managers for you. But you have a good day.

>>108524559
They ARE a dead discussion topic because they just work and are hyper productive and fast and reliable and easy to learn.
They are obviously not "dead in the marketplace" LOL.

>>108524949
It's not semantics, you are using myopia to disregard something. Use the white people words in your brain. Figure it out.

>>108524962
Yeah, I didn't read your post. The discussion is over. Have a good one. I'm going to hide your posts and replies now since its clear you're so upset and are just going to keep responding nonsense.

>>108524972
Accuse me of the thing that you are doing a then mute and block. You retards might get me banned from shitter, but you can't do it here. Shove it up your ass you fake piece of shit.

Huh?

>>108525101
The grift is making you finish it for them and selling it to you as a positive. How is this confusing?

I only ever use one window at a time maximized. Very rarely two windows tiled side by side. I was using tiling wms for like 5 years and recently switched to niri (scolling). With all windows maximized by default and animations off of course. I find its way of having several windows on one tag more convenient because i was frequently running out of tags on tiling wms.

>>108525157
What, do you have a tiny screen? I really want to know what's going on with the one window max people.

It's always funny when fags like you complain about trannies.

>>108524683
i'm surprised kde hasn't just implemented fully

>>108524559
Depends, do you need them or not?
I use bspwm and it has been great. It is also fantastic for gaming as long as you have mapped toggle fullscreen key with sxhkdrc.
I default to floating windows but if I need to edit text I can do tiled layout etc.

the way to use WMs is to have one fullscreen application on each virtual desktop then jump between them. the switch is instant on a WM while it's a lot slower on a full DE. they still work perfectly fine for this

>>108525621
To add: It took a while to get used to but really like it. It's not perfect but compared to dwm I would rather use bspwm as it has editable configuration files.
I like the fact I have everything mapped to my keyboard and if I need to launch something else there is rofi and obviously terminal with gnu screen.
It's not for everyone.

>All the tranny configs are slop. Every twm that isn't i3 or sway is just based on a gimmick that they propose to their users as somehow an improvement.
dynamic tiling is a huge improvement to i3/sway's clunky trash and you don't need more than dwm's master/slave layout, hyprland has it too so it's good enough

>>108524712
>I can build a master/stack
>in i3
How? The only reason I am considering DWM or any other meme is because of the master/stack layout.

>>108525643
this, keeping them in tabs you can switch to with super + number is much better than alt tabbing, but I never use the tiling aspect because if I'm working on something I want it fullscreen, maybe having two windows open for research and writing, but who the fuck uses more than that

>>108525682
You're just too stupid to roll your fingers, actually. It's only clunky because you can't n2 apm.

dwm is bloat, they should remove the bar system and add some sort of X11 centric IPC and delegate everything to third party developers.
Also for line count you could unironically rewritte it in lua and have less lines with more features (not speaking out of my ass)

>>108525720
You just push the key for where it needs to go, and before letting go of the super key, you push the key that opens the program.

bindsym $mod+Return exec wezterm start --class wezterm
bindsym $mod+d exec ~/.config/i3/scripts/rofi_drun
bindsym $mod+shift+d exec ~/.config/i3/scripts/rofi_run

bindsym $mod+semicolon splith
bindsym $mod+n splitv

bindsym $mod+ctrl+semicolon splith; layout toggle tabbed splith
bindsym $mod+ctrl+n splitv; layout toggle stacking splitv


bindsym $mod+shift+a mark --add swapee
bindsym $mod+shift+s swap container with mark swapee; unmark swapee

Using i3 is this simple.

>>108524559
I use i3/sway since around 2010. For me any other desktop interface is pointless.

I use dwm and I have literally never switched to tilling mode, in fact I deactivated the keybinds because I accidentally pressed them from time to time

>>108525721
How do you know which tab contains what? With tmux I can easily see :fish of :man so I know which window is what. Does dwm have something similar and not bland monocle mode [2]?

>>108524559
I still just use i3 with default keybindings. Non-tiling wms are legitimate cancer to me, I don't understand how anyone uses them.

>>108525580
What font is that?

>>108525984
>>108526085
now do the swallow thing

>>108524559
People who like tiling windows manager still use them. They are too complicated for zoomers through.

>>108526606
I just converted to a tiling manager, dwm.
Alt-f to make a window in floating window mode for those things that need it.
It does GIMP in floating mode automatically.
No need for much else.

>>108526589
Done. Swallowing is now irrelevant.

The only reason to swallow when you can just
bindsym $mod+ctrl+n splitv; layout toggle stacking splitv
is if you like the taste of semen.

>>108524559
i've been using dwm for 4 years, and not a tranny. not sure i'll ever switch off, i stick to what's familiar because it just werks

If you’ve setup terminals to be launched in tag 1, how do you know which tab contains what? With tmux I can easily see :fish of :man so I know which window is what. Does dwm have something similar and the bland monocle mode [2]? only telling me there’s two terminals open but nothing else?
