What's the best wm and why is it i3?

It's XFCE retard

>>59949673
easier to configure than other tiling wm

>>59949692
itsa meme ya dip

>>59949692
>x11 as wm
>what happened to /g/?
What the fuck? Are you stupid?

>>59949680
Actually it's Xfce

>>59949680
Xfce ist a DE

>>59949673
Bash :)

>>59949682
awesome wm, because no configuration is required. Sane defaults.

>>59949680
xfce is not wm

>>59949927
Why would you use a tiling WM if you're not going to configure it at all?
Also, you need to know lua to configure awesome.

>>59949673
Ratpoison of OpenBox

>>59949953
>need to know lua
oh no... how will I ever learn something as arcane as a scripting language that looks identical to every other programming language?

Hey boys.

How does Facebook do it such that I open a chat window at the bottom and then click on pages but the chat windows don't reload? They can't possibly send AJAX requests for the entire page besides the chat window, right? So how do they manage it?

>>59950171
Motherfuckers I didn't mean to post in this shitthread. It's xmonad by the way

>>59949673
Uh ah, Sway is better.

i3 + Wayland = Sway

>>59950180
xmonad has 100mb of dependencies.

Really hurts muh minimalism.

>>59950192
>not using Haskell on a daily basis thus making those dependencies useful

>>59950183
>Sway is better
No it's not. I've actually been doing some development on sway, and I can say that it's still very flawed. There is a LOT of shit it can't do properly.
Most of its problems seem to come from WLC.

>>59950198
Not gonna learn a language to use a wm.

Should work the other way around (e.g. already familiar with haskell and like the idea of xmonad).

>>59949673
ratpoison is obscenely better than i3

>>59950213
>not already knowing and loving haskell
Why are you even on /g/

>>59949673

>not using cwm

>>59949953
Tiling wms are not just for ricing and posting screenshots to /g/. I use a tiling wm because I like software managing my windows for me. Awesome comes with 8 preset configurations + floating. You can add your own configurations or import them from the web.

I don't add a bottom bar because I have a widescreen monitor and vertical space is precious. I also don't need my CPU, RAM or network usage displayed because it doesn't matter to me.

And Lua is easy.

>>59950220
haasn is that you

>>59949953

If does what you need it to out of the box, why bother configuring it?

>>59949680

they are both bae

>>59950183

>sway is better

No way to rotate monitors, even gnome manages rotation on wayland.

>>59949673
Because I don't have to drag windows around or accidentally close programs.

>>59949673
It's bspwm
