What window manager does everyone use?

I still use Xfwm bro.

Zoomerbro, dwm is god level ascension tier. Git gud.

>>108948365
niri
had hyprland installed with tiling too but they switched to lua configs and i cba to update it. niri is the simplest scrolling manager that requires minimal setup/hassle

Cinnamon

GNOME, the default Linux Desktop. Stable, predictable, Enterprise Support, Crash Immunity, clean C code base, GTK/Libadwaita is targeted by every dev on the planet.

Yep, GNOME.

LXDE is best.

incompatible with lazarus IDE, incompatible with many video games, incompatible with many useful pieces of software that allow you to get real work done. suckless software sucks cock.
>>108948451
I remember liking Cinnamon for the time I used it, which was a couple months. It was boring, but it worked fine.

crash immunity mfers when a single malloc of some unnecessary dogshit results in the process being terminated

I mean it works fine, 99% of the time, the only problem I really have is that my File Manager crashes, nothing fatal, but I have to reopen it again. But this isn't exclusive to GNOME, I also had this on Windows and KDE Plasma, I don't know what's going on there.

But other than that, it's a joy to use. It just werks. GNOME doesn't even mind deleting ~/.cache. I did this on KDE Plasma a couple times and it would always result in a crash. I know... I know ebussy and GuhNOME is a meme on /g/, but it werks man.

LXDE.

>>108948440
Dude cmon you can literally just download the lua version of the example config and seeing your laziness you probably just need to change your monitors output for it to work. If you added custom binds and other stuff I think there's a tool to automatically rewrite the config
>>
>>108948578
yeah i've never used software that crashes as much as explorer.exe, it's impressive how they did that. dunno about kde.
>>
>>108948440
>had hyprland installed with tiling too but they switched to lua configs and i cba to update it
i cope by telling myself that it's their last big breaking change and that i won't have to worry about breakage again. still really annoying how the dev can't seem to make his mind up when it comes to basically anything regarding his project
>>
>>108948613
i barely used it anyway i just set it up to compare mangowm vs niri vs hyprland

i do have a low tolerance for breaking/hassle-causing changes especially if the alternatives are very good and already installed.
>>108948634
its honestly pretty good , hyprland has a strong ecosystem of shit that works together like authentication agents,launcher,idle,wallpapers....

when i upgrade my laptop i might just put hyprland on it instead of niri. i mainly like that its popular/big compared to any window manager so i think its unlikely to disappear if i plan on using it for many years

KDE, I know I'm going to get (You)'d at by that one jeet but I think in its current state it's the closest we got to perfect UX in the history of Linux
I used Xfce and Openbox for a long time and couldn't stand either KDE or GNOME but nowadays it's fucking GOOD

KDE was ruined when they removed European influence with the Western dragon and wizard and their mascot became some chink dragon with a chinky name. It's something an amerifat company would do for international appeal.
