Window Managers
| Was using i3 and awesome until my Arch installation got nuked to death by a broken plymouth update (can't be sure it it was mesa or plymouth that broke it).
As for now, I'm currently in Sawfish, but I often use Openbox as well.
And as for the second question, I prefer stacking (floating), but that's only because I'm using a 10-ish inch laptop.
| xmonad is nice but hard to configure and you need to learn Haskell to do so, I currently use awesome, another tiling manager which is similar but easier to work with
| >>64400
I think the learning curve of xmonad is what makes it funnily interesting in my opinion.
But then again, I have complained about GNUStep and people say that it's "absolutely fine and doable!"
| I like to use trinity or openbox.
| give way-cooler a try
| JWM, IceWM or OpenBox.
| >>64499
Do people still use JWM unironically? I can't see it being a thing with tilings and LXDE rising up nowadays.
| I open windows in the morning

Check your privilege. I don't have a window, just because you have one, doesn't mean you need to open it every morning to show us, the no-window-poor-people that you're dominant.
| I usually use a stupidly vanilla xmonad; I don't like status bars or window decorations or X applications that much. Running dwm on my uni's machines because I'm way too lazy to upload builds for anything more complicated than exactly one binary.
| Almost default openbox with tint2 bar. It just works, it's comfortable, and configuration is easy.
| Awesome is the best WM
| I use awesome on my laptop and KDE on my desktop. Tiling window managers are great when you don't want to use the mouse at all (like on laptops), but on a desktop I prefer the full experience.
| Kwin, cause its KDE and KDE is the best, cause its QT and not GTK and cause its C++ and not some other stuff which is determined to be technically inefficient by design. Thats why.
If there would be no KDE I would work on Terminal only with bulbul, which could also count as a windowmanager.
| Correction: 'Bulbul' should have been 'byobu'
| and installed xmonad a while ago. Worth it

| What WM are you using? Prefer tiling or floating? I use i3 myself, but thinking of switching to some other tiling wm, maybe xmonad
