From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
It's not exactly a dwm clone, it's way better than that. It takes all the best parts from dwm and bspwm, and I've been loving it so far
The binary split tree is bspwm's best and most important feature imo. I'm sad river doesn't follow that model.
River defers Layout management to an external program (rivertile). If you want a layout based on a binary split tree, you can write your own so-called layout generator
