The most important practical advantage of Linux is UNIX like tooling and THE WINDOW MANAGER as well XD
Welcher Windows-Manager, der für Linux verfügbar ist, kann innerhalb einer laufenden Drag-&-Drop-Operation (d.h. Maustaste ist gedrückt und hat ein Objekt gegriffen) die offenen Fenster mittels Tastenshortcut durchwechseln (damit man das Objekt in das damit nach vorne gebrachte Fenster fallen lassen kann).
MATE kann das wohl nicht.
Switched to sway, love it! Easy to transition from i3 and super simple to configure. Now i have everything set up just how i like it. Dotfiles on my github.

So, I've been a Rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com) girl for a while now, but I bought a lifetime license of Better Touch Tool (https://folivora.ai) years ago, and I never used it. Thing is: it was overwhelming. So much you can do with it with the kitchen sink thrown in. But now that I've learned how to use it as a WM, I'm starting to think I might redo all my window management with it because of the insane amount of options.
How can people work with the macOS window manager?!
@simondassow the MacOS window manager is really one of the worst I have ever used.
I strongly prefer to use apps in maximized windows because each app (Blender, Gimp, Emacs, a terminal emulator) has it’s own unique workflow that works best in maximized windows. However when I maximize windows in MacOS and switch between them with the Control-Left/Right arrows, it waits a quarter of a second to animate the screen transition. During this animated transition it drops all keystrokes events.
So I might switch from one app to another and press some keys to do something only to discover that the keys I pressed were ignored because I didn’t wait just long enough for the animated screen transition to finish. When switching to a terminal emulator or Emacs, these dropped keystrokes can actually change the command that I enter by accident, which can (and often does) corrupt data in the files I am working on.
On Linux, all window managers transition between desktop workspaces instantly, even if there is an animation key events are not dropped. It honestly feels like Mac OS is fucking with me, deliberately trying to slow me down when I am trying to get work done.
Yes, I tried to disable the screen animations, it doesn’t seem to be possible. The best I could do was use the fastest transition, which is a fade-in.
From the first day after my transition from windows to #linux I am still wondering about so many things and possibilities. And as a proper #newuser I've wondered why I don't see the benefit of some things people praise, like #windowmanager or #homelab or things like that.
After some time I've come to realize that I certainly don't need to do everything Linux has to offer.
I am happy to be just an ordinary user.
...but maybe one day... Who knows, right?
KDE + Wayland, le seul tiling manager que je peux avoir c'est un script un peu moyen ? J'ai trouvé Polonium mais je ne sais pas si il y a mieux et qui fonctionne bien.
Dites-moi !
I am truly grateful for the maintainer to maintain this port. I have tested this window manager before migrating to FreeBSD and it was awesome.
XFCE 4.20 wallpaper submissions are already coming in!
If you are interested in testing a #dwm (#suckless) #AI driven configurator, this is worth a look. Enjoy!

OK so I'm going to give #Niri #WindowManager a whirl to see how I'd get on with it versus my trusty #RiverWM
The wonderful thing about Linux is that there isn't one way to do things, but rather a plethora. This is even true for Tiling Window Managers! On Linux, you can use i3, bspwm, dwm, awesomewm, xmonad, sway, hyprland, river, and many many others. I personally use bspwm, but have used others in the past, and they all provide that minimalist, keyboard centric workflow. How about you? Which Tiling Window Managers have you tried?

I’ve been mulling over the idea of switching from XFCE to BSPWM. But now, I’m thinking maybe I should give something like Sway a try to see what Wayland has to offer!
Just published my new @tilvids video about IceWM, a minimal stacking window manager for Linux and BSD. I show you how to install, use and customize it.
