Maybe 12 yrs ago, I developed some scripting in FVWM to simulate tiling. My thinking was, why do I need background and overlapping windows? It worked kind of, then I came very quickly to xmonad, but abandoned it (I do not understand haskell; maybe I should) So then came i3 for some time, but I never became a big fan of the tree layout. Eventually, I found my way with qtile [0], written and configured in python (which I do speak sort of). It is extensible, simple and just works. I use it daily for nearly a decade now. What I like, qtile has modules to manage the window layouts. My favorite is the xmonad-clone which mimcs basic features. But efficient enough for me 0: http://www.qtile.org/ http://www.qtile.org/ Another tilingwm I like to mention is spectrwm [1] which I use as a backup. I cannot say that qtile never had issues. But it is also a long time ago I used my backup. qitle is now in my OS repo, so I don't need to build and install my self anymore. 1: https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm That said, many thanks to xmonad for opening a path and inspiring other projects
