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.

        I don’t have any problem with hyprland on Nvidia, I didn’t have to tweak anything, it worked out of the box, I just installed it on Archcraft.

    Today I use Plasma, but if I need a tiling wm I use awesome. It’s so great and customizable. If you’re fine with Lua, is easy to config.

    Currently, I am using DWL and it is pretty nice. After moving to Wayland, I tried to use Sway for a while, but it does not really fit into my workflow well. But to be honest, even DWL is missing some things I want, and I am not really a fan of that it is written and configured in C. I am planning on trying to write my own tiling window manager in Rust when I have some time.

    Sway with autotiling and a few nifty scripts (launch or focus and such) and Waybar. The combination of having scratchpads, sensible autotiling along with titlebars and the wonderful world of wayland is supreme.

    XMonad. Been using it for almost a decade, and very powerful. I3 I hear is also good.

      Same here, but I’m about ready to accept Wayland… Seems like sway is the best option?

    I like i3, at some point when I finally move to Wayland I’ll move to Sway. Going to try Hyprland as well though, 'cause why not

    Not sure if this counts as a tiling window manager, but I spend most of my time in emacs in full screen mode. I can create, delete, resize, and swap my windows.

    Hyprland after using i3, bspwm, Sway, Wayfire. Hyprland has the best from all of my former WMs.

    herbstluftwm - because it just works and does not try to think for me;

    The configuration is a shell script using herbstclient to talk to the wm process, that’s a plus for me, too.

    i3 gang rise up!

    I’ve only tried i3 and it just works, so I stuck with it. After learning the hotkeys it never seems to get in the way (at least for my usage). Riced it a bit. Then some polybar sparkled in there. A wallpaper. What more can a guy want?

    EXWM. I am a longtime Emacs user so merging the concepts of Emacs buffers and X windows is a huge benefit. Only one set of keybindings to worry about, all of my Emacs window management stuff works for X windows too. One less external dependency to worry about too. In a new environment (like when starting a new job etc) as long as I have my Emacs config I am good to go.
