I have surfed through distros, desktop environments and window managers for nearly a year.
My equillibrium point is suckless.org's dwm[0] with all defaults except using Terminus as font and Super(windows) instead of Alt key.
~6 months, no irritation, no configuration change.
Tiling window managers which have extensive configuration options are useful as tinkering material, but not actual working environments. If you want a tiling window manager not for eye appeal and beauty but for simplicity and ease of use, look at r/unixporn/ and use whatever they are not using.

- zeveb 10y agoI've ended up in a very similar position: stumpwm, st, Adobe Source Code Pro & Super. For my particular style, being able to extend the WM (not customise endlessly: actually extend) is pretty awesome, but I understand that not everyone's into that. After getting everything set up the way I like it, I'll never switch.
- Gracana 10y agoHah, I run the exact same config. I used to be a wmii user but moved to Windows for quite a while when work and school required software that only ran there. Now I'm back on the tiling window manager train with dwm, and I realize I had forgotten how much I like this setup.
