Most people who have tried tiling window managers come to the same conclusion. It's a true eye-opener.

- peatmoss 8y agoI think if something like XFCE were to implement xmonad / dwm style tiling, that would be about perfect. I like some of the creature comforts of a desktop environment, but I prefer them to heavy on supporting features, and light on in-your-face features. Also, I cannot stand the ubiquitous hamburger menus of Gnome. I really wish we could all go back to humane menus.
- narwally 8y agoI completely agree. I used to be a heavy xmonad user, but I've had to be on macOS for work the past few years. I've found emacs to be a suitable substitute for a tiling window manager for the majority of my use cases and then have macOS for the creature comforts part. I've been test driving KDE Plasma recently at home, and it's quite nice these days. I wouldn't call it fast compared to other linux desktop environments, but it's pretty snappy compared to the KDE I tried five years ago. It was pretty simple to get it looking and feeling similar to my mac environment, and then emacs is always emacs. I do wish there was a more modern feeling TWM, but for now I like having something family/friends/coworkers can comfortably navigate when the need arises.
