For me it was Debian 12 with Sway (Wayland) followed by Debian 13 with labwc and Sway.
Now I can switch from a tiling window manager (WM) to a floating WM depending on the work task.
- exe34 11mo agonixos for me. broke it once 9 years ago, but I never figured out how.
- WD-42 11mo agoI had not heard of labwc before, super cool that it's compatible with openbox themes! Openbox was one of the first "cool wm" I think I used back in the day, probably like 15 years ago now when it supplanted Fluxbox as the dominant *box.
- tetris11 11mo ago> labwc and Sway Is there an option to stay permanently in floating mode, and allow manual placement? I'm stuck on AwesomeWM using just floating windows with easy keybindings for moving them around/resizing, etc. and am looking to jump from X11 to Wayland
- klooney 11mo agoWhy use Awesome with floating windows?
- KetoManx64 11mo agoBecause it makes no sense to do tiling on a 12" screen, especially when you have keyboard shortcuts to activate/start applications
- michaelmrose 11mo agoI prefer it still because it makes sense for every window to be maximized at startup. Also one layout that still makes sense is 1 window taking up 100% of the horizontal space and 95% of the vertical save for a small strip for a terminal.
- KetoManx64 11mo agoI have - Meta + Z: Activate/iterate through terminal windows - Meta + W: Activate/iterate through browser windows And when on a laptop I maybe do a split view 2-3 times a day for a short term. 95% of the time it's full sized windows which I switch between using keyboard shortcuts.
- tetris11 11mo agoSame, same, and same. I also just like the predictability of placing a window in a location and then the next time it spawns in the exact same place I last left it
