I’ve been using both Amethyst and chunkwm, and I have been fairly happy with them. The placement of windows is handled automatically for you, but you are given the power to easily rearrange and resize windows.Ī big difference between tiling window managers and traditional window managers is that when you resize a window using a tiling window manager, other windows will also resize to ensure maximum use of screen real estate with no overlap. They may do this by putting applications side-by-side, in rows, or in any number of non-overlapping layouts. Tiling window managers (TWMs) organize the applications on your desktop into non-overlapping tiles. In this post, I’ll give a brief overview of some of their differences and difficulties. In the last few months, I’ve been experimenting with using two tiling windows managers- Amethyst and chunkwm. MacOS’s window manager has a few built-in features to help manage things, but I was never completely happy with it. Tiling isn’t for me – I’ll manage and resize my window manually, like an animal, thank you very much – but there’s no denying there seems to be a huge demand for tiling features.If you typically work with a lot of applications open at once on MacOS, you’ve probably noticed that things get pretty cluttered pretty fast. There’s been a surge of interest in tiling window managers lately, with tons of articles and howtos about things like i3 and Awesome, and System76, too, made tiling a prime feature in Pop!_OS. Worm is written in Nim and is based on X11, a Wayland version isn’t in the pipeline in the near future, according to him. This release is also shipping with a brand-new Window Manager developed by our community editions team member Codic12 and we are more than proud to present you this WM that was developed a little bit under our wing.Ĭodic12 decided to develop this WM to satisfy his need for a lightweight window manager that worked well with both floating and tiling modes and had window decorations with minimise, maximise and close buttons in any layout desired and that could run on a semi-embedded system like the PIZero. However, at the very end of the release notes for its latest release, there’s this: EndeavourOS is an Arch-based Linux distribution, and in and of itself not something I’d write about here.
