Big fan of I3. This may sound superficial, but I've moved away from tiling window managers because everything just looks so ugly. There's something to be said for having a window at ~75% full size with drop shadow around it and a bit of your desktop background showing. It's easier on the eyes. I say this with a heavy hand on heart because I was an enthusiastic user and advocate for xmonad and I3 for several years.

- remedan 5y agoI encourage you to browse /r/unixporn [0]. I my opinion, a nicely configured tiling wm can look just as good as a stacking wm. And people on the subreddit are happy to share configs, so you don't have to spend more effort than some copying and pasting. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/
- 1_player 5y agoThose /r/unixporn screenshots are as real as a McDonald's burger in an ad. In both cases it's mostly careful staging to make it appear better than it is in real life (or when you're actually using your computer).
