Bspwm is pretty cool I just don't think I want to keep up with the changing syntax and I can't even write my own scripts. Should I stick with bspwm or change?

awesome yes i don't know never used something else depends on your understanding of lua you should at least try it

i3 I like the easy config Kind of annoying if you want to do things like multi-monitor but I got around this by tacking on XFCE and having i3 as the WM I used to use ratpoison but i3 just seemed easier and more user friendly easier to rice. I didn't have much scripting experience but what I knew from programming made it easy to use.
Someone needs to make a standalone multi-monitor manager that automatically configs hot plugged monitors and maybe audio too. So I don't have to use a DE to have easy monitor management.
Chase Russell
+1 for i3
Carter Thompson
Can confirm i3 is great. I've been using it and SwayWM for a while and it's been great. Very easily configurable and feature-rich.
I might recommend going for i3-gaps over standard, though, if that kind of thing appeals to you
Sebastian Bennett
Openbox is superior

I bet your mom does your laundry too
Landon Nelson
Does i3-gaps add anything more than the useless gaps?
Isaac Cruz
>window manager of choice Openbox
>good Lightweight and straightforward. Works well. Pretty customisable once you dive into the .conf files
>bad Doesn't have a whole lot of features
>how does it compare to other wms' xfce4's default wm is still a whole lot better but for your average user they're pretty much the same
>difficulty/learning curve Not really, easy to learn. Even .conf files are pretty easy to figure out because of the ultra verbosity
>other thoughts Great for low end machines with limiting hardware.

We are in 2016 not 1986...
Asher Perez
what's a good lightweight WM like Openbox that I don't have to fucking edit scripts for to have full functionality? I already know
Daniel Jones
Why do your windows overlap?
Tyler Gray
Why is the font rendering of "artists" window title fucked up.
Joshua Jackson
No we're not.
Mason Garcia
What's this?
Julian Sullivan
guys, I want a wm where every window creates and resides on its own workspace automatically, does anything like that exist?
Eli Wood
Clfswm
Christopher Morgan
thanks, I'll look into it
Zachary Price
>Kind of annoying if you want to do things like multi-monitor What the fuck are you talking about. It works perfectly. Just use xrandr (or arandr if you absolutely need a GUI) to setup your screens and you're done.
Jordan Campbell
Exactly, we're in 2016, stop using a shitty windows manager that can't even set its decorations right.
Kevin Torres
Xmonad w/ dmenu & xmobar
David Martin
i3gaps +aesthetic asf -lots of dotfile editing it's better than i3 expect to spend a few hours editing stuff first
Jaxon Clark
I don't know haskell let alone any language

>ITT: X.org apologetics
Elijah Jackson
This The syntax will not change. But the API could break with the next update. But that shouldn't be hard to fix
Hunter Robinson
Why does the window title not display the program name instead of the page name which is already displayed right below?

Why do you faggots use this shit when MATE is literally perfect?
Jayden Barnes
Nothing can be perfect if depends of X.org
Dylan Lewis
What else is there? Hint: none of the answers you're about to give are correct. They're all unusable puddles of wank. Sure, X.org is too, but it's the least rotten of the rotten potatoes we have to choose from.
Jason Bennett
>because I say so Use sway.
Wyatt Walker
Because everybody says so. It's like you don't read reviews when you should be out working.

Can one of you Sup Forumsentlmen explain the difference between : - Desktop environment - Window manager - X
I'm a little bit lost here.
Isaac Morris
>lot of imbeciles can't be wrong.
Colton Bailey
Desktop environment: software to do basic desktop stuff (file browser, text editors, etc.) + window manager + display manager (login screen)
X: use wikipedia, I'm too lazy to explain that.
Andrew Garcia
Keep using bspwm user.
Kevin Martinez
Oh ok, so the DE bundles everything else.
Adam Stewart
Awesome is close to the perfection! A bit more of documentation but meeeh.
Michael Rivera
>all that shitty music
Sebastian Cox
XMonad can do this. If you know Haskell it's very easy to configure and add new stuff.
