What window manager do you prefer if you use one? What kind? Tiling? Stacking?
What do you think is the best window manager with minimal config editing out of the box?
What is you favorite bar to accompany your WM?
Please no low effort desktop attention whoring

Floating on my desktop, tiling on my laptop. Only takes me about 30 mins to get i3-gaps with polybar set up decently and customized, can't really speak for the other tiling wm's out there though.

Just try some for yourself. I used awesomewm, but it was more of a hassle so i switched to i3. So far so good.
David Moore
dwm because in reality we use maximized windows most of the time
Colton Phillips
i3 is a good beginner wm.

But dwm is the best and fastest. Got tired of ricing and DE's and ended with dwm.
Customizing it isn't hard. It looks like a css file. You change some options compile it and you're done.

XMonad with this layout hook:
noBorders . avoidStruts $ (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) ||| simpleTabbed ||| fullscreenFull Full)
For bar i use xmobar with dbus support.

how hard is it to set up for someone who doesn't know Haskell?
Josiah Brooks
I reaaaaaally wanna use dwm but I don't know how to patch and use the bar correctly
Oliver Butler
alt + number to switch between tags.
I don't use patches at all. It's bloat. I just use dwm with a couple of tweaks in config.h
Just have patience and read over those two links.
Andrew Davis
Trivial. XMonad is declarative, you don't need to know any Haskell. It's just a matter of reading the doc, there's everything you need to know and more.
You can also simply copy one of the example configs from the docs and play around with it.
Robert Turner
Do you use the top right bar to set status stuff at least?
Isaiah Baker
Xfce.
Jacob Cruz
could you share a screenshot of your current dwm setup, user?
Kayden Sullivan
nah, dont even have status. I use alsamixer for volume and do everything in the terminal.
Just go on unixporn. I've seen couple anons post theirs but i can't atm.

you could have concky or just
while
xsetroot -name "$(date +'%a %-d %b %H:%M')"
do sleep 1m
done

i use i3-gaps because i also like to rice it with a bit of gaps so i can see 5% of my wallpaper.
Noah Nelson
Bspwm.
No bar (used polybar, but don't really need one).

Q. How do I bind keys to execute specific applications instead of dmenu each fucking time?
Adam Wood
maybe .xbindkeysrc?

you get the idea

you can also put it in your /home/ instead of /
ie prefix=~/.local
no need for sudo
