Low on precious screen real estate, or busy massaging your carpal tunnel
wrists damaged by waving a mouse around like an idiot? A tiling window manager
might be for you!

> Freedom from the mouse
With any decent twn, you're hand almost never has to leave the home row.

> High customizability
All well known twms are built with customizability in mind, either through a
config file, command line options, or in the case of dwm, editing the source
code directly.

> Efficient use of screen space
because each new window will split the screen one level further, the available
screen space is used optimally (yes, even when using gaps).

> L I G H T W E I G H T
using a tiling window manager forgoes the need for a bloated DE, simply
install any necessary software on top of the window manager to build exactly
the system you want with no cruft!

> Resources
i3wm - https://i3wm.org/
Babby's first twm, easily customizable from a central config file, has sane
defaults. Usable out of the box.

bspwm - https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm
Binary Space Partitioning Window Manager
bspwm is a tiling window manager that represents windows as the leaves of a full binary tree.

dwm - http://dwm.suckless.org/
Dynamic Window Manager written in C.
Slightly higher learning curve than most other twms, basic knowledge of C is
necessary for configuration as it takes place in the header file. Very
lightweight.

awesomewm - https://awesomewm.org/
Supports lots of features out of the box, less initial configuration necessary than some others.
Shares the concept of tags with dwm which can be more flexible than workspaces

herbsluftwm - https://www.herbstluftwm.org/
Manual twm with similar tiling system to i3
Can be reconfigured on the fly using herbstclient

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated :)

The gpu arrived a few hours ago, a Sapphire Vega 64 Liquid 8GB; a very nice looking card.

I just got it installed after cleaning out case dust and taking some pics.

I'm using the win7 (no 8.1 drivers)Vega drivers from AMD's website: win7-64bit-radeon-rx-vega-software-17.30.1051-b6-aug7.exe

Now some answers for prev thread:

I installed the heaven bench and have 3dmark and pcmark.

I also installed Arma 3 and have Fallout4, Warhammer, BF1, Civ6, Witcher 3 and more.

Thanks for Gamersnexus link - watching now, I will do as you say re undervolting as post results.

The psu is a Corsair AX1500i.

Noise levels - it runs very quiet, I can hardly hear it @ idle; with a temp of 24 degrees c. Regarding noise from other fans - I have 2x140mm case fans and a liquid cpu cooler with 2x140mm fans on the radiator.

I have pics of the case internals which I will upload very soon.

Refresh for results :)

I have recently started to slowly adopt a number of /g/ memes, and, quite frankly, doing so has made my tech experience better than it ever has been before.

> Learn C
> Way comfier than C++, code is slightly more verbose but way easier to understand because it's not nearly as bloated
> Now ready to learn kernel programming which I've wanted to do for a long time

> Install gentoo
> Learn way more about Linux than I ever thought I'd know
> Computer boots in seven seconds because everything is compiled exactly as I need it and there's no unnecessary shit to load

> Use IceCat
> Kind of a pain in the ass sometimes
> But freedom and a cool cat logo are worth it

> Emacs
> all the nice features of a full-blown editor with none of the bloat
> elisp is c o m f y compared to shitty vimscript trash
> write 10x more code these days because of how nice Emacs is

> ThinkPad
> My first /g/ meme
> Cheapest laptop I've ever bought and yet still out-specs everything else I've had
> Durable and nice keyboard

windows C# visual studio plebs will never be this comfy

>Note: Starting in Firefox 57, which will be released in November 2017, only add-ons built with this new technology will work in Firefox. These are indicated by the “Compatible with Firefox 57+” label on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). Add-ons built with the old technology are labeled “Legacy” on the about:addons tab.

How do you plan to deal with this shit?
