XMonad hits a sweet spot no other window manager does for me:
import XMonad.Config.Mate
main = xmonad mateConfig
and just like that I have XMonad running inside my mate desktop, without the need to manually configure a status bar for volume, wifi, keyboard input language, clock, etc.
I don't even use tiling that much as I prefer to have one app per workspace, but just having focus-follows-mouse and the option to tile if I need it is really sweet.
- Symmetry 10y agoI do the same thing with Gnome. There's an Ubuntu PPA at ppa:gekkio/xmonad that takes care of creating a desktop session for me and then it's just a matter of adding the same thing with s/mate/gnome/ and then away I go.
- zem 10y agosame here. it's the only tiling window manager i've found that works well within a desktop environment.
