It's similar to bspwm.
- Both are controlled over a socket by a client program. Anything you can do to windows with a mouse or keyboard you can do with a script, and vice versa.
- The configuration for both is an rc file that's executed.
- Both are dynamic tiling managers, with a binary tree of containers.
- Both compare well to i3 by limiting the container tree to a binary tree, and eliminating keybindings to change container focus or move containers.

- boogies 6y agoThe Dynamic Window Manager can also be controlled by a client program (which you can call from a file, which you can make execute from your ~/.xinitrc) with this patch (which I don’t use, but it looks like it can do most keyboard things but no mouse actions): http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dwmc/ http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dwmc/
- seniorsassycat 6y agodwm and i3 are too capable and too complex. I get lost in the nested containers
- boogies 6y ago> I get lost in the nested containers I don’t think dwm has them, they seem like a manual tiling thing.
- arawde 6y agoMy main reason for using bspwm over herbstluftwm was that I had issues doing certain operations between two monitors, such as dragging a window in floating mode between two monitors.
