On Niri. It's wild how TWMs are basically becoming mini-DEs. The integrated screenshot tool and overview make it really hard for me to want to switch to anything else, rip Hyprland for me. Really makes me wonder if we'll get that strange mix of TWM+DE that hits the sweetspot of minimalism, customizability, and integrated functionality. Having to also be the compositor has really changed how these things are designed for the better imo, this is awesome.

So this week I decided to give DWM a serious try.

So far patching the base code to get it somewhat useful has been a pain. But I like how it behaves although I miss Xmonads virtual desktops handling.

I’ll be deciding if I stick to dwm or xmonad for my next distro hop (either Void Linux or Devuan).

🥳🎉 Behold, a new tiling window manager for #Windows, because clearly *everyone* was clamoring for another way to open 39 windows at once and promptly lose track of them. Written in #Janet, because why use a language people have heard of? Get ready for #keybindings so complex, you'd swear they were designed by a prankster octopus. 🐙🖱️

A Tiling Window Manager for Windows, Written in Janet

#HackerNews #TilingWindowManager #Janet #Windows #Development #Innovation

I started working on #hyprland yesterday and i LOVE the special workspaces. They are so useful for stuff like #keepassxc. A #tilingwindowmanager on a #laptop is just the #goldstandard for me.

Today will be fun. I'll define a colorscheme and set up configs for kitty, hyprland, waybar, neovim, tmux and fish for my #ansible #playbook. Basically the whole #tilingwindowmanager setup, but reproducible. Also thinking about trying #arch again. Could automate the entire installation and configuration using ansible.

@cassey You could always install a #TilingWindowManager on top of #MacOS that works fine.
I had the same issue on MacOs.

I was using #amethyst for a while but it honestly sucked compared to my gold-standard: XMonad.

I’ve seen a few more MacOS TWM’s pop up lately which you should check out: #Yabai and #Aerospace are both ones I haven’t tried.

In the Linux world, #XMonad is my happy place. I long to run it on MacOS but without X11, it’ll probably be called WayMonad or MacMonad.

About one year, and several distro hops later, I decided to try my customized version of dwm again. It pretty much worked immediately with only a couple of tweaks required to get it back to where it was before.

Tiling window manager users on #YouTube:

"Look, I can open all these windows and the #WM just sorts it for me automatically!"

[windows get smaller and smaller until they're beyond unusable]

And the point of that is...? 🤷

#TilingWindowManager #WindowManager #TWM #Linux

SSS (v2.1.29) 🐂 now rocks a fully modular #emacs config with some nice additions, like controling #spotify from Emacs (with smudge) and some UI tweaks as well as better #rofi, #mako, #alacritty and #waybar and more love to light themes as well as #everforest maybe this makes some #rde users curious :)

Just did some customisations in #KDE that I'm really pleased with.

Krohnkite was a little untidy in the way it tiled certain windows but its Github page had some suggestions on how to clean that up, which I've applied (with some personal tweaks). As well as applying a couple of window rules to more tightly control window sizes every window now has rounded corners and their lilac borders are once again visible, the thick border denoting the active window.

I'm really loving Krohnkite's auto-Tiling windows and now they look as beautiful as they work. ​:ms_purple_heart:​

Krohnkite turns KDE Plasma 6 into a Tiling Window Manager!

While I love KDE dearly (​:blobinlove:​) I must confess to a tiny touch of jealousy regarding Tiling Window Managers [TWMs] like Hyprland, Sway and i3.

On KDE I fight with window placement more than is probably healthy. Open a handful of programs of various window sizes and watch desktop space become tricky to manage. Virtual desktops ease the situation a little but not completely.

Tiling Window Managers' big sell is they do all that fussy placement for you: new windows snap into place while existing windows simply resize to accommodate....automatically. It's a seductive idea. You also get a brace of keyboard shortcuts to control focus or change layout schemes, and so on.

I was looking at Hyprland in particular. Problem is, Hyprland is quite fussy to set up. It involves that old Linux trope: config files and the terminal. Now, this is within my reach, skills-wise. I've learned a lot in the last two years. While undoubtedly my idea of fun It'd be somewhat of a pain and probably time-consuming getting everything the way I want it. I've been dithering yea/nay about trying it for some time.

But then I stumbled on an interesting compromise - Krohnkite!
Github link

Krohnkite is a simple Kwin Script that you load into KDE settings and with the click of a toggle box gives you that TWM magic, no fuss no muss, right there in Plasma 6!

I've been using it for a day now and so far it's really cool. ​:ablobdance:​ If you'd like to try it you'll find it in KDE Settings:

System Settings > Window Management > Kwin Scripts > ⭐Get New...

There's not much in there so it'll be easy to spot, and it's a tiny download so it takes mere seconds. Then you'll see it listed in Kwin Scripts with a config button for you to play around with. Top tip: to apply changes to Krohnkite, toggle Krohnkite off <apply> then back on again <apply>; you don't need to restart Plasma itself.

Let me know if any of you folks try it!

Anyone who has given at least one of them an honest try, and then decided accordingly that tiling window managers do NOT work well with your specific workflow: Why don't they?

I mean this neither sarcastically nor rhetorically, nor do I intend to solicite any objectively bad takes any hotter than my own; I'm actually asking.
