i3 and sway

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.

i3 all the way

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

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?

i3 until the day I die

Edit: Why? Because I love how easy it is to get working, it's a nice balance between features and simplicity for me, and IPC features are great for some QoL plugins. Its configuration file format is simple enough, I like lua with wezterm and neovim but I don't really see the point with a WM, I just need to see my windows when I want, the way I want, and to switch to others.

I’ve been using i3. Nothing super advanced but the config is easy and being able to reload in place is nice

Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS... I love how it combines tiling and stacking. Sure I could use workspaces instead of stacks, but with stacks... I can use both!

I've also used EXWM and am going to give it another whirl after I upgrade to emacs 28 with native comp

Sway, but single window capture and the animations make hyprland very tempting...

Starting with i3 as my first, i tried a bunch of different ones. Xmonad and Qtile were the ones i liked the most but Qtile was buggy and Xmonad while working was super confusing to configure with haskell.

Also tried AwesomeWM, it felt a bit buggy to me in terms of window handling and DWM was just too complicated to patch and even with patches it was too basic

Ended up going back to i3, and then moved over to Sway.

i3 is what I've been using the past few years. I've tried others, but I always end back up with i3 as I've found nothing else to be as simple and efficient for my workflow, with 12 workspaces across 2 monitors.

HYPRLAND !

My heart still belongs to enlightenment/e17 but I've been using i3 for the past few years, and then hyprland for the last 4 months or so. It's working out well.

i3 is the one I keep coming back to

LeftWM, because it's a really nice community to get involved with, and i like rust so i contributed a bit to the project

I really like dwm. It doesn't seem too popular so maybe the other ones are better but it was the first one I tried so the others feel weird to me. I like the idea behind suckless in general though.

I started with for a bit awm, however i am giving qtile a try since im learning how to code python so good practice.

PaperVM. Works under gnome and has everything i need

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.

@cyclohexane for me it was and always will be bspwm. Once I had it configured it was the coziest of cozies.

I used StumpWM for many years. It was great for most of my workflow and, being written in Common Lisp, you can recompile parts of it while it's running (I didn't do this often but it was a cool feature).

Recently I have been using river. It's extremely easy to configure via a shell script, and it's very fast and stable. It's another dwm clone

I tried i3 back in 2019 and I've been using it ever since on my desktop.

DWM due to it's suckless nature

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.

I used DWM for a year or so (still do use it on my librebooted 2008 T400 gentoo thinkpad just to stay below 100MiB of memory after boot for the lols) and recently switched to sway.

My primary reason for sway was it being relatively simple and to try out wayland (which works with minor bugs in xwayland). Initial configuration took me about 1h and i wrote a small program in rust to populate the title-bar. Works like a charm and i like my stuff to be simple so i don't think i will look into different TWMs.

Currently using sway, but mostly for the lack of good Auto tilers on Wayland

i3wm, tho I do wanna move to wayland.

Sway, but used everything from ratpoison back in the day, awesomewm, i3, hyprland, openbox with manual tiling to Plasma. Just keep coming back to sway, seems like the best for for me.
