What about a tiling WM that isn't i3?

Spectrwm, herbstluftwm

Enlightenment does tile iirc. It's a setting you can enable.

You mean scrotwm and stumpwm.

whats the difference between i3 & i3-gaps

Have been using regular i3 for a year now, This switch was the best software-related thing i have ever done since switching to linux. It's convenient, it's practical. It's productive. Especially on a laptop.
Yet i find one feature lacking: you still have to pay attention to window placement. Or all the new windows will spawn in a straight line. Is there any way to automatically change new-window behavior? Like the second window is always a vertical split. The third is a horizontal on the right window. The fourth is third horizontal window on the right if the left one is browser, or the second horizontal on the left otherwise.
Is there a way to do this in i3 or should i look into other tiling wm-s?

Hey, you have to open terminal first to do that . And Rofi or alike are not always instantaneous. It bothers me.
Keybindings are comfy, they are fast to use, you never forget which one does what as you created them, you can bind opening specific directories without having to navigate through folders. They are easy to modify (at least in i3).
Moreover they render most of the people who try to do something with you laptop behind your back clueless, as they can't figure out how to do shit.

Look into automatic tiling WMs like awesome or dwm.

I use Debian Gnome. Please convince me on why I should switch to i3. My currently applications won't look good if I use a tiling window manager, no?

With Gnome, I just press the windows key next to alt and I can open any program easily. Ctrl+Alt+arrow key down and I am in a new workspace. What benefit would I see from i3?

your windows are located reasonably on your screen automatically and you manipulate with them faster using keyboard shortcuts. your applications should look the same

Thanks user. I suppose I can give it a try and see how I like it

>I use Debian Gnome
more than enough reason. free yourself.

what's the best starter's guide to i3?

xmonad but you don't write a config, you program it in Haskell

The documentation and default config file.

Or just use dwm if you want something lightweight.
xmonad and stumpwm throw me off because of how bloated they are, a programming language with GC doesn't belong in a window manager.

It lets you essentially write your own WM on top of a library. Possibilities are endless. But yeah, you can keep it light if you don't need that.

This one's good desu

i3 is actually really simple to use, just try using it a couple of hours with the official documentation

i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html

not that user but I did Mod+Enter to open a few terminals, and they keep opening in such a way that they are really skinny, it doesnt open below them.

close them, use mod v or mod h before opening a new window to open it vertically or horizontally

holy fug that works. thank you. I kinda want my screen to look this: reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/9fgdon/i3_first_rice_d/

eugh

the setup still looks aesthetic though. yeah, best to hide local ip once I edit the i3status config from there

Awesome

Nothing wrong with i3-gaps. Fuck you.

This is fucking garbage and your music sucks kid.

lol it wasnt my post you brainlet.

Gnome is comfy. Stop hating.

Gnome is feature-removed software. It's like a mobile UI on your desktop.

dwm if you want minimalism
xmonad if you know haskell
awesomewm if you know lua

I use arch btw

>not using suckless dwm

suckless's dwm

>tfw learning haskell, but I will NOT move to xmonad from dwm
I want to have something lightweight in all ways possible, and haskell isn't providing anything like it. High level languages are my soft spot, and I love messing around with them, but they don't belong as a major part of the environment I use. I don't need extensibility in my window manager, I don't even use any patches for dwm. It makes sense to have extensible text editors to add support for new languages and write utilities to make your work faster and more efficient, but a window manager is supposed to do one thing and do it well.

Awesome is generally a good choice if you want tiling but still a fuckton of features. It's the KDE of tiling WMs.

bspwm

all the other answers are retarded

bspwm is a close second place

install herbslut

>i3-bulge

also ctrl+shift+arrowkey will allow you to move them around.

>rofi
i used it for a while, but dmenu is better in pretty much every way, other than that some rofi themes have some great aesthetic. If that aesthetic fits your setup better, I understand it, but most really minimalist aesthetics work with dmenu better anyways and that's what the kind of people with i3 tend to like.

It is the ability to run nonstandart commands. dmenu doesn't allow you to run aliases for example, or your own stuff in redefined PATH. I tried to search for workarounds, yet i couldn't find any that wasn't an ugly mess.
I value pragmatism over aesthetics

What's wrong with i3-gaps?

Openbox or window maker

Is sway any good?

Gaps are a waste of perfectly good pixels. It's stance for Linux users.

that extreme blur is actually sorta much, innit?
I personally like transparent, non-blurred terminals.

>or your own stuff in redefined PATH
it does tho, it reads of the path in /etc/profile

If you set your PATH in your .xinitrc file, dmenu will inherit from that.

Nothing wrong with extreme niche subreddits like that. There is no alternative forums any longer, they all died and Jow Forums doesn't have the ability to architect be a post for referencing later on. All the archives are trash and nobody fucking searches for old Jow Forums threads.

WMs are for faggots larping as hackermen. I bet you also use arch and type documents in Latex too, huh faggot?
