My thoughts exactly... Where are the tiling WMs?

As an i3 guy for over a decade, sell me on sway? Just out of curiosity.

Sway is on wayland and wayland together with systemd is the best thing that ever happened to Linux.

/me throws a smoke bomb to the floor and runs away laughing.

i think the biggest argument against i3 is wayland. Past that i'm probably waiting for i3 2 electric boogaloo. It's such a good piece of software.

is a 99% compatible replacement for i3, just using Wayland instead of xorg. this means better multimonitor and u get some extra frames meow ^w^

i dont think it runs well with a nvidia gpu tho, so just aheads up for that meow

As an Arch + Hyprland Thinkpad user seeing a beautiful Thinkpad being ruined by Windows hurts. Free them from their Microsoft prison already.

I don’t even use windows anymore apart from my work laptop, where I can’t install stuff on my own anyway, but that still made me look up options for tiling window managers on windows rn. (Tiling windows managers amiright)
