which window manager is superior?
I3wm vs. dwm
dwm is for losers who couldn't install xmonad.
JWM
Gnome
Icewm
>which window manager is superior?
The one I use.
suckless faggots btfo
Bspwm
Use notion
sauce?
xmonad
Emacs
DWM because dynamic tiling > manual tiling
openbox
Whichever has fewer weeb users
Is there anything emacs can't so?
Get me laid
be a decent text editor
Bspwm
2bwm
I didn't like having to do a lot of keybind sucessions for a simple thing... I know mouse could handle focus and stuff... but still.
And the memory impact...
Tbh I3 is kind of just a meme. Every other WM is pretty much better. So for your specific question dwm
dwm all the way
>install i3
>get a bunch of features i dont need
>have to customize i3config file
>etc etc
>install dwm
>just use it
Dwm is more superior
I wish you could preselect on one window, focus to another window, open a window and have the opened window appear in the last preselect (like webm related). That would make bspwm perfect.
Of course it could be done kinda manually, but it's already too slow.
Windows Explorer
Never use a suckmore product.
for me, it's the dynamic window manager
Sway
How the fuck did you get a prefix on that MPD module?!
Post dotfiles now, you mother fucker!
All of that is bloat. Just do everything in emacs.
>says that while using Jow Forums
High IQ post right here
In your keybinding for navigation you could save an environment variable that saves the previous selected window. From there is just writing the external_rule
>says that like it's an anime website
Here, this is your board bro.
bar on bottom or top?
I can't decide
herbstluftwm
>xmonad
dwm just werks. i3 is bloat
i3 though I'm about to switch over to xmonad because it looks very interesting and I want to support it because it's not mentioned much
Clearly awesome wm is
dwm
Jow Forums claims another victim.
victim? no he's been blessed by enlightenment
I always put the bar on the bottom
The problem with tiles is that my screen is big; too big for windows to be stretched across all available space. I assume you i3 kiddies use thinkpads with tiny screens.
Tiling window managers work better with larger resolutions, more stuff you cram in a single screen.
It's written in LUA that's why is slow compare to dwm (written in C)
what the hell are you talking about? tiling window managers are great on any screen but are better on higher resolutions
just install evil
you cannot develop games in it.
>Awesome
I am using a VM with Ubuntu installed and awesome is so fucking slow to load (it works fine after loading). Is that normal]?
24 inches is way too wide for a single window. I would need to spawn extra windows just to prevent my browser from being fullscreen
sway with an intel igpu on a de-blobbed kernel running a freedom respecting OS with deactivated Intel ME / LibreBoot is the only way to go.
I don't mind my window taking up the entire screen and tiling is much better on a higher resolution screen since you have a lot more space
i3 = xcb
dwm = xlib
hope this answers your question
is that why my toaster can't run i3 ?
no it's because your toaster doesn't have a display
no
(OP)
Among those two, i3.
dwm is deliberately crippled garbage which tries to sell "configuration via source code" as a feature to disguise this.
>b-but you can customize dwm more!
It may sound surprising, but lo and behold, every piece of FOSS can be changed via source code. Besides, I have yet to see a dwm setup that does something i3 can't do.
>i3 is bloat
Not true. When I used it, I used literally everything it had to offer, including, say, tabbed and stacking modes and the scratchpad.
Right now I'm on awesome. I don't give a shit about "minimalism", I choose software merely based on functionality.
Besides, even awesome is "minimal" enough to run fine on my T43p, so who cares.
Suckass elitist fags can go neck themselves. One of them already did.
dwm written in xcb wouldn't improve anything
Isn't i3 just a fork of dwm for retards?
because that's dwm's least issue
no that's awesome which uses xcb unlike dwm which is used by retards
workspace_layout tabbed
hide_edge_borders smart
>there are people in this thread who don't have this in their i3 config
>I have yet to see a dwm setup that does something i3 can't do
master/slave stacks
tag/workspace cloning (pinning is not the same thing)
Why smart instead of both?
And what are its biggest issues?
that it's not meant to be used unironically
similar to dwm monocle mode, but you save more screenspace with monocle mode because it doesn't create window titles for the tabs but instead has it in the a statusbar
All suckless software is really just a big prank, the only good thing they made is dmenu.
ahem
> st > dmenu
except it's usable and not obsolete
st is shit and doesn't even have scrollback.
>use tmux
tmux is pointless when working locally if you're already using a tiling window manager.
>use patches
At this point, you're just complicating your life for no real gain.
urxvt in daemon mode is the way to go if you want a terminal that is lightweight while still having enough features to be usable.
>st is shit
souce?
>and doesn't even have scrollback
why should it?
>use tmux
i didnt say that and i personally don't but your argument is also bad, what if your de crashed?
>use patches
wut? why?
>urxvt
picrelated
if you want to 'save' space, remove the bar, the tabs are useful
awesome, because its awesome
>Isn't i3 just a fork of dwm for retards?
More like a fork of wmii, which was a suckless project by the same dev as dwm before he started working on dwm.
I like that logo.
Emacs is hell of a bloat.
Awesome.
>b-but m-muh bloa...
Fuck off. Any non-ancient machine will run it just fine, and I like my software comfy and featurefull.
Fuck minimalist niggers.
Worse still, it's not just slower than dwm, it's simply slow. I could not use it, it's too sluggish.
Not if you do everything in it.
Me too. It looks like a spiral.
this but unironically
dwm, better defaults for me.
i3 even has jkl; instead of vi's hjkl.
If you are going to primarily use terminals then use tmux / screen / byobu and if you need to run a graphical application, use framebuffer if supported or startx with said application as the session manager
hard to argue against this tbqh
>still on xorg
>not using sway
There is a script for that on GitHub.
I wanted just that and it's in one of the issues.
Autism.
the VM is using Ubuntu 18.04 with a normal Xubuntu installation. I don't care about the slow startup, it works fine after loading but it takes some seconds to load Awesome.
Also, how the hell can I visualize moc player songs in the awesome bar?
Does this actually work seamlessly and easily or is it just a bad meme? I use emacs for text editing but haven't explored its dark corners. Is it a worthy replacement for gnome?
emacs never.
use a good desktop (wm are also desktops ok retard) and vi for editing
earlier I said I would switch to xmonad and it was alright but now I'm using herbstluft and wow it's fantastic. manual tiling sounded like a pain at first but now I realized that's it actually really useful.
Sell me herbstluftwm. Why should I use it over, say, i3?
it works very similarly to i3 and dwm but it's workflow is defiantly different and I prefer it over the others. you just have to try it for yourself because it's defiantly personal preference. it's more compareable to riced awesome but I don't like awesome at all
