After using Linux for years and years I finally have to use a Windows computer again for college. Sadly they're making us use proprietary software that doesn't really work well with Wine.
Anyhow, is there a WM for Windows (or any other software) that would replicate something like i3wm or awesomeWM on Windows? If not, a different way I could get the same functionality? For instance, mod+shift+q is way more comfortable and makes more sense than alt+f4 to kill a focused Window. I have thought about setting up autohotkey to run similar commands/keybinds but it won't be the same and it'll probably interfere with already present shortcuts & keybinds on Windows. If AHK DOES work, I guess i could configure to use Windows 10's window snapping & other features to somehow replicate the WM, but i'd like to know if that would even work.Any help appreciated.
Why not keep using loonix and I just running botnetOS™©® in a VM?

Won't cut it, unless I upgraded my hardware.

there are probably more

Don't worry, Windows is useable without those shortcuts. Ctrl+Alt+Delete is all you'll need.
>>59570760
No. All tiling window managers for windows are hacks and shit and don't work properly.

I'm guessing it's test-taking software, which is godawful and who the fuck knows what it's doing in the background?
Get a second junked computer/Frankenstein machine and throw Windows on it. Use it for /only/ test taking.
After the semester, wipe it clean for the next semester. After graduation, pass it on to some other poor soul who needs a "windows only" machine for this stupidity.

Who would put test-taking software on the devices of their students?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Thank you Mr. Stallman.

Since Unity on Linux still sucks I have to use Windows at work. These thing is pretty cool. While it's buggy and not that polished it kinda works

they say they borrow from >>59573459
but its a hell of a lot more complex, you can hook it up to rival the best of the best tiling wm's
>>59570760
can't you just write your own? it's not that hard, and you are on /g/ after all

Idiot colleges. It's essentially a full rootkit.
