Linux

I love Haskell, so XMonad was the natural choice. I've been using it for a few months and whilst I think I like the unique workspace - display mapping it really hasn't clicked yet.

I use i3, but to say that I like it is a bit overstated. It's fine, does what I expect the very basic of a tiling window manager to do. I used Nimdow for a while and it's pretty good, the default bar is way better than i3 (supports ANSI colour coding, mouse presses, etc.), but I could never quite get to grips with the tiling algorithm.

I'm working on my own WM though, it's not tiling per-se, I choose to call in non-overlapping and I'm trying to solve my gripes with i3. Basically windows should not be forcefully expanded if they don't want to. Try open galculator under i3 and watch the horror. And when expanded the size should be split based on their initial sizes. So if I have Firefox open and want to do something in a quick terminal window the terminal won't get 1/2 of the screen. Firefox wanted more space than the terminal initially, so the terminal gets to take up a smaller share of the space.

I started with for a bit awm, however i am giving qtile a try since im learning how to code python so good practice.

Sway with autotiling and a few nifty scripts (launch or focus and such) and Waybar. The combination of having scratchpads, sensible autotiling along with titlebars and the wonderful world of wayland is supreme.

i3wm, tho I do wanna move to wayland.

@cyclohexane Good old i3, easy to setup and use, though the default config of i3 is really bad.

PaperVM. Works under gnome and has everything i need

Currently using sway, but mostly for the lack of good Auto tilers on Wayland

I tried i3 back in 2019 and I've been using it ever since on my desktop.
