I've decided to give #OpenBSD on my laptop another spin. What #windowmanager can you recommend?

KDE desktop theme of windows decorated by "Orbian Light" - a recent change from "Breeze" - with small thin edge borders, title to the centre and title bar menu buttons (shade, keep above, pin to all desktops, more actions menu).

I am curious... I want to install a #tiling window manager on my #linux system. I'm not (for now) going to Wayland. Which tiling window manager do you recommend, and why?

Another option appears to be coretile. Has anyone used it?

One of the things which frustrates me no end, is that every single #Tiling #WindowManager I've ever seen on #Linux is designed with the assumption that "simple" and "pretty" are mutually exclusive.

The closest I've come to "pretty" is XMonad, because at least that allows you to have colour schemes, and to change the width of the (flat) window borders. Most of the others don't even allow that much.

But maybe things have changed since I last looked? Do any of you know of a tiling window manager which is actually PRETTY? Like, 3-dimensional window borders and other things one can customise the look of?

@jdkiser Very nice! As a long term #debian user I never understood the need for contraptions like #kubuntu, #xubuntu or any other distribution that predefined the user interface. You just install Debian and the #desktop_environments or #windowmanager you like (or none... long live the #cli!) and that's it.

I'm grateful for my first contact with the #GNU #Linux world in 1998, in the college #computer lab... despite the #WindowMaker #WindowManager hehehe

The previous year we used the #lab of another #college in the same #university running #Microsoft #WindowsNT 3.51

In 1999 I tried using Linux on my personal computer, and since 2001 I definitively used the #Brazilian #distro #Conectiva (now defunct)

I have taken the opportunity to upgrade to #Debian 13 to replace #Cinnamon with #XFCE as my #Linux #WindowManager for my main computer after many years since I last used it.

I had forgotten what an amazing Window Manager XFCE is! I love how simple yet customisable it is, and just the way it looks and works.

We are so spoiled for choice in Linux!
