Interesting paper on dynamic window managers vs floating ones.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.17516

TLDR: tested on a Dell XPS 13 (single screen, Linux), dynamic WM was ~38% faster for common tasks.

My take: tiling really shines on a single monitor — the tag/workspace system lets you mentally map your work and forget about window hunting. With 2 monitors the advantage narrows since screen space.

Despido este 2025 con este escritorio.

He deambulado por varios manejadores de ventanas pero me quedo con #spectrwm por su fluidez, sencillez y minimalismo.

I came back to #spectrwm

I promised to myself that I will not wm-hopping anymore.

Okenní manažer i3. Zvykl jsem si natolik, že už ke klasickému chování oken nechci zpátky. Je to ale celé dost geekovská záležitost (hodně věcí si člověk musí upravit).
Zde jeden starší článek, ale stále aktuální (v základu se v i3 nic nezměnilo).
Velmi podobný window manager (co se týče ovládání a nastavení) je #spectrwm, který taky doporučuju. A pro Wayland (místo X) je tu SwayWM (prakticky kopie i3).

Kde je ten terminál, ve kterém jsem připojený na serveru? Tenhle to není, tenhle taky ne, asi bude pod prohlížečem. Ne! Tak kde jsem ho nechal? Že by…

https://everybytecounts.org OS #benchmarks updated for 2023.11 with #Spectrwm and #LXQt on Alpine #Linux, and LeftWM on NixOS becoming 1year old. They were not removed since they will be updated in the next #OS release next month. It would be great if the #Rustlang based #LeftWM was added to #AlpineLinux, but not had luck with requests. #Q4OS 5.4 23.11 was removed. If there's interest for 5.6 to be tested, a new issue can be submitted https://github.com/crftbt/EveryByteCounts.org/issues. Does Q4OS not have a public #code #repo?

Ohh lord, thanks to Timeshift I recovered my openbox session in Debian.

I went to spectrwm again but didn't conviced me then when I installed again Openbox the submenu piped in right click didn't work. :(

I had have to rollback.

Well I've returned to spectrwm 😍

Openbox was fun and interesting maybe I'll return.

Just need to work on my window manager's decidedly non-wintery color scheme.
