Funny, I always knew twm as "Tom's Window Manager", which is how it was called when I learned GNU/Linux in the 90s w/XFree86.
Indeed, if one scrolls down to AUTHORS the first name is "Tom LaStrange". I guess they renamed it at some point...

- pengaru 4y agoBeginning Linux Programming circa 1999 used "Tom's (or Tabbed) Window Manager": https://archive.org/details/beginninglinuxpr00matt/page/558/mode/2up?q=twm https://archive.org/details/beginninglinuxpr00matt/page/558/...
