i3 and sway

HYPRLAND !

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

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.

i3 all the way

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.

I usually use tiling add-ons for Gnome or KDE. So pop-shell or bismuth.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

DWM

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

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

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

i3 is the one I keep coming back to

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

DWM due to it's suckless nature

I'm using sway on top of fedora. I heard positive things with i3, but I wanted to try something that was native wayland.

PaperVM. Works under gnome and has everything i need

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.

I use sway because when I came back after a long break, it seemed to be the one to go with. I kind of miss awesome, though.

EXWM. I am a longtime Emacs user so merging the concepts of Emacs buffers and X windows is a huge benefit. Only one set of keybindings to worry about, all of my Emacs window management stuff works for X windows too. One less external dependency to worry about too. In a new environment (like when starting a new job etc) as long as I have my Emacs config I am good to go.

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

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.
