Why does no one use herbstluftwm?

>>61893888
Because you touch yourself at night

interesting wm
I might try it tomorrow

>>61893888
Why should I, OP? Sell it to me

>>61893888
nice font

Because some of us want a tile wm that just werks like Awesome wm

>>61893888
I have it but prefer i3. Herbslut is a little more difficult for me to use

Because i3 is superior

>>61895994
>>61897607
Same as above.

Because i3wm is objectively the best tiling wm out there.

>>61893888
Why use a cheap wm when kde exists?

Last time I checked, making single window float was not available, just full layout. This made dialog windows pain as they mostly tiled to half of the screen.
But the persistent layout that is then filled with windows is a nice idea. Too many border settings was hard to tweak, but result looked great. (inner and outer window border, frame border, ...)

>>61893888
There is so many of tiling wm's that i don't bother checking all of them while i3 is easy to configure and works for me.

>Because i3wm is objectively the best tiling wm out there.

Most i3 users just install it because its the most used wm out there.
When i comes down to features, i would guess Xmonad has the most to offer:
https://www.stackage.org/package/xmonad-contrib

>>61893888
An interesting wm.
I will imagine trying it while I'm on my i3wm.

>>61893888
Because I use dwm. Simple, does exactly what I want and nothing else. If I feel like it needs to do something more, I write code and recompile. Not sure why I'd ever bother moving.

most people on here use tiling window manager but always have them floating. i don't understand why you just don't use openbox

>>61906769
you can heve empty tiles like in OP pic
therefore you can observe your waifu at all times

>>61906809
I can do that in i3.

>>61906861
you can't unless you float your windows

>>61906881
i3-gaps bruv.

>>61906902
>i patched i3 so i can shitpost in desktop threads
ishygddt

>>61906902
are you retarded?
you can't open an empty tile without a window in i3-gaps

>>61903244
>Xmonad
My negro. Xmonad is great,if not a slight bit harder to configure.Personally, I moved away from TWM's because I've got the resources to run a DE and constantly fiddling with things is just asking for breakage. I'll always have a soft spot for Xmonad, though.

>>61906918
>>61906938
Shit, I misread tile as "title".
Sorry. Although, it's still not a reason for me to change from i3.

>>61907026

watch lots of anime

>>61907296
I already do, please tell me!

>>61907353

>>61893888
Perhaps because xmonad is superior and most *nix users are casual poorfag retards that are satisfied with shitty defaults provided to them.

Because I use Aqua/Quarts 

>>61906806
I only switch to floating to get that aesthetic screenshot for the desktop threads. The other 99.9% of my life is spent tiling, usually with most windows (emacs, firefox, irc) fullscreen in seperate workspaces, sometimes split in half but rarely more than that

>>61907953
haha, I hate anime.
get tricked kiddo

>>61893888
I used it in the past but now I'm using XFCE on all my computers, because XFCE is quite handy and everything just werks. I used to run herbst on my hobby computer, because I knew if something went south I'd just have to do my shitposting on my school computer. Now I'm using Qubes though, and that comes with XFCE by default. I think you can use i3 with it as well, but I haven't bothered. Maybe I'll do that on my next install, but I don't really feel that Qubes is as mature as it should be before I would use it as anything more than just a fun OS to dick around on the Internet with (even though having all the VMs so easily managed sure is nice).

I wish I had my herbstluft rice configuration saved, someone else gave it to me a long time ago but I forgot all about it. Oh well.

>>61893888
it's called herbstluftwm

>>61908454
wrong, it's herbstluftwm

>>61908468
oh i might try it out then

>>61908587
I've used Linux since 1993 up until some time after Windows 10 came out.

>>61893888
How is herbstluftwm different from other twm? Also, is there a tiling wm that doesn't automatically fit a window to a container, like it tiles it to its natural size? Kinda like pseudo tiling in bspwm, except that pseudo tiling doesn't really work well when you want to resize a window because it doesn't consider the area the window takes up.

>>61909133
>How is herbstluftwm different from other twm?
It isn't.

>>61909133
>Also, is there a tiling wm that doesn't automatically fit a window to a container, like it tiles it to its natural size?
Herbst can do that.

>>61899194
that panel looks like 95 cancer, everything else looks fine

bspwm exists

>>61893888
bspwm is better in every way

>>61909643
>>61909378
both trumped by xmonad

>>61910205
Prove it

>>61893888
Because I'm still enjoying the summer air

>>61908075
looks like shit, Kevin...

>>61910282
You can import the BinarySpacePartition extension to basically do what bspwm does

Why should I be using a twm when I'm already happy with my fwm (Muffin/Cinnamon on Arch) and its simple 2x2 tiling feature when I'm on my desktop computer and two monitors?

>>61910388
forgot to mention my 12 workspaces and the expo plugin for a 4x3 workspace overview when hitting the bottom right corner of the main monitor, which makes accessing all opened windows extremely simple and fast

>>61910205
I would rather use dwm than xmonad

>>61910693
What does dwm have that sticks you to it?

>>61910721
c over haskell

>>61910744
What about the features.

>>61911354
it tiles windows
honestly they all do the same stuff, what they do differently doesn't matter enough to me to get too into it, now that I don't really care about it i use bspwm because it's easy, but if I wanted to get right into the fine details I'd go back to using dwm because I'm familiar with c

no

i do and love it. can't stand fully dynamic wms, i gotta have some fixed frames.

>>61893888
Hlwm is god tier. Simple to config and great defaults - vim bindings and a decent scheme. Easy to configure layouts for programs, well documented and on and on.

i3 wasn't bad either but hlwm just clicked for me.

threads like these give me hope for the future of /g/

>>61911700
herbstluftwm is a manual tiling window manager for X11 using Xlib and Glib. Its main features can be described with:
> the layout is based on splitting frames into subframes which can be split again or can be filled with windows (similar to i3/ musca)
> tags (or workspaces or virtual desktops or …) can be added/removed at runtime. Each tag contains an own layout
> exactly one tag is viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor independent (similar to xmonad)
> it is configured at runtime via ipc calls from herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script which is run on startup. (similar to wmii/ musca)

Just use something normie like openbox then when you want to pretend you using a tiling window manager use rtile.
