Explain why you use tiling window manager.
Ready, go!
i'm not because i prefer doing actual work over looking like some "l33t h4x0r" to myself or some small circlejerk of autist.

i cant manage my own windows

I am not dvtm+dtach just works fine
>>55055933
tmux is my tiling wm

Your next actual work is to learn how to type.

I use i3 on my laptop.
It's much easier to navigate around windows / workspaces with keybinds, than using a touchpad to try to sort it all out.
>>55055933
Because it is the computer's role to manage windows, not mine.

When I use Windows I end up tiling everything anyways and just get annoyed at the little options you have for window management.
The only way I would use tiling window manager is on a small laptop <15''
Apart from this , it's useless , meme , autistic and retard
>>55055950
Why is it hard to do real work on a tiling windows manager? You spend maybe an hour getting accustomed to the work flow and then you can easily manage multiple workspaces and windows.
You don't have to see anything you're not working on. There's not as much space filled up with window decorations, icons, and other bullshit.

Meh, tiling wms are great if you have to work on a laptop only with text. Also I hate to be seen using one. I use awesome with some really basic config that was default on some version Fedora with the small addition that Skype(required for work related communication) always gets sent to workspace 9 and Firefox to workspace 8.

plus configurable
I am thinking of installing one, but it seems like pain in the ass.

I feel like it's just a meme used by Hollywood hacker movies.

An hour to learn a new UI paradigm isn't all that much compared to alternatives.
I neve got Unity or Gnome shell, and never bothered.
You can obviously install it alongside any other wm, and switch depending on need.
One thing I hate is having a stack of terminals in the taskbar, and need to flick through all of them to find the one I need.
Just print a cheatshit from your wm of choice, and give it a go. Why not.
Tip: you can still use "stacked" or "tabbed" layout
Tip: if you want you can "float" windows, making them act in a "traditional" way
Tip: in i3 you can put windows in the "scratchpad", for example put a terminal in there and you have an instant guake replacement (but it's not limited to
Because tmux gets the job done without losing the conviniences of a compositioning wm
To keep a browser window and an IM window side by side. Other than that I rarely need multiple windows on the screen, but it's nice to have fullscreen windows for every software I use.
>>55055933
How do I make my font look like this?
I don't. Most of my software takes up most or all of my screen space.
I use a Macbook Pro, which is great because fullscreening a program gives it its own workspace, and workspaces can be switched through just by swiping on the trackpad.
Meme about 'b-b-b-but its apple' all you want, but OS X + Apple trackpad is a godly combination for productivity, at least in my use-case.

why?
On my laptop, always have my windows maximized and in the rare situtation where I need two windows side by side, I would use the hotkey anyway, so using a tiling window manager doesn't help at all
>>55056321
>thinking people who don't use tiling don't have hotkeys
>>55055933
it makes my normie friends think im a hacker
>>55059406
If you're going to use hotkeys, why would you want to layer the windows behind each other?

i3 = workspaces

Why is this bad for something you're going to be using all the time?
I don't have severe autism
>>55059501
Why do you have that picture saved then?
>>55055933
becouse of freedom
>>55059418
dis
also its faster and more betterer once you take like 10 seconds to learn the hotkeys and set up your config file

Every other window manager has workspaces, this is not unique.
And layers of windows makes a lot of sense if you use graphical applications.
From everything to a notification, to a dialog promt, you don't want those things to take half the screen.
Finally, you may want to have a terminal for quick access to log output open, but you don't want to see it on the screen you are on. anywhere.

fast is the term. The mouse is down slow for windows managing
>>55060033
switching between terms for example... when you spawn something it automaticly find own place...
less ram usage becouse of minimalism

>On my laptop, always have my windows maximized and in the rare situtation where I need two windows side by side
I've been questioning whether I'm using tilingwm wrong and I should switch to floating with keyboard control.
>>55055933
I tried awesome and xmonad, and there kind of nifty, but it seems to me they suit the multi-tasker more than they do the dedicated shitposter.
I usually only have one window at a time open, and not fullscreen, to better facilitate desktop icon and taskbar clicking.

Wow, do you dislike everything that's good, or just the best things?
