After using a tiling window system for a few years now the screenshot on that page is an affront to all that is good and holy. https://raw.githubusercontent.co

    Our worst and ugliest trait

      There are multiple worse human traits, and I can't be associated with anyone who would think this is our worst and ugliest.

        > and I can't be associated with anyone Then don't be? What is even the point of saying this on an internet message board?

        Tribalism in action my friend. That’s okay, there’s two of us and one of him.

        I am merely the voice of the silent majority which will overwhelm the two of you saving the world from your wrong and dangerous ideas.

        Our ideas may be wrong and may even be dangerous, but right now our Tribe is bigger. That’s what counts.

  and in the "tiling WMs" camp there is subdivision into "dynamic" and "static" tiling window managers

There must be someone out there in the wide world who configures their tiling WM to default to floating windows.

  Surprisingly many of them - not for me, but godspeed to them, configurability and freedom of X11 environment was big part of what made linux great for me.

  Ha Ha! You found me! In my case swaywm (and previously i3wm). I have 3 persistent programs that tile and the rest float - when I had swaywm set to 'tile', it became such a burden to write 'for_window' clauses for every new transitory program. If I want it to tile, it's easy enough to $mod-Space it. On my daily driver, firefox & mythtv have their own workspaces. On another workspace, emacs gets a half-screen and 2 terminals get a quarter screen. I set them up at session start and that's 95% of what I need. After that, everything gets a floating screen - which is what many of the apps expect and need. I also have some scripts that automatically summon floaters from the scatchpad and fit them on the screen (without changing their size, so not tiling). It's all here, if anyone is interested: https://gitlab.com/wef/dotfiles https://gitlab.com/wef/dotfiles
