As someone that pretty much had to use WMs before full DEs came out: fuck WMs.

Can you explain why was that? Asking genuinely.

That was what was available in the early days before it was put together into a (eventually usable) package with Gnome and CDE.

I love Sway, but Hyprland’s special workspace thing is just so damn good.

Meh, hyprland devs and community are known for being toxic, specially with minorities. Can’t use because of this :/

Yeah but Hyprland window groups tend to eat each other with the dwindle layout

Same. It also has option to open an app when an empty workspace is opened. It’s just so convenient compared to sway which is very solid but also feels quite limiting like i3.

I think you can open stuff when empty workspaces are created, I did it once but I do not anymore because my workspaces reason of being changes when I connect and external monitor.

I started using WindowMaker to n an old laptop that was mainly for playing music and I ended up loving it. It kinda reminds me of using an Amiga. Super fast to start, lightweight in terms of ram, and does everything I need. I like the squishy luxuries of KDE sometimes but it’s been a little over complicated since KDE 4.

Hey, KDE’s been keeping things more lightweight since version 5!

Just so you know I have tried Plasma 6 and know it feels more simple, intuitive and consistent than 5. KDE has done a nice job of making it friendlier.
