Do you use a Desktop environment or a Window manager? Or do you use both?

Xmonad, because what the fuck else am I gonna do with this knowledge of Haskell

i3, no bar, no titles, because fuck it, everything runs in terminals anyways

i3wm
because it just works

Bspwm's sole purpose is to create aesthetically pleasing window arrangements for desktop screenshots and give the user something to brag about in minimalist IRC communities

Wow ur liek so cool, fuck those people with their niche hobbies, you're much more interesting with your non riced desktop!!

Tell me, do you also insult musicians that play just for fun, non professionally, does the thought of having fun make you uncomfortable?

I should add that xmonad is God tier when it comes to multi-monitor setups — main reason I use it.

i3wm

i3-wm because I have neither time nor patience to learn how to rice a WM
If I had, I'd use Stumpwm

I find I really like the tiling set up. I really am much faster with out a mouse.

Doesn't that imply it's better than itself?

What's a better choice for a laptop:
Tilling or stacking?
>>
>>52257951
It is

I3wm of course... I switch to lxde when someone else has to use my laptop
>>
>>52257970
One of the reasons I use i3 is the ability to switch between them quickly. I have a wide screen on mine (x220), so I can display two terminals side by side and have both be > 80 chars wide, so for coding I often have a main window on one side of my screen and a stack on the other.

I also find tabbed windows useful, but I know some people dislike them because they make it hard to see window titles. I don't really mind though.

>using a shitty bloated WM just for rice

I use i3, fucking desktop threadder.
