Phoenix [0] is another option in this space if you want to write JS/TS instead of Lua. I just commented about it here [1]. [0] https://github.com/kasper/phoenix. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Have you heard of Phoenix [1]? It seems relatively unknown but I actually found it to work better than Yabai in some ways. The gist is that it basically simulates a tiling wm and virtual desktops by internally tracking state. It's also highly hackable/extensible being written in JS. Spin2Win [2] is a config that's worked well for me. [1] https://github.com/kasper/phoenix That said, it seems there are no perfect... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

When I was annoyed with this I went ahead and downloaded phoenix (https://github.com/kasper/phoenix) wrote a little javascript and now I have a bunch of globally accessable hotkeys so I can lay my windows out in a number of combinations. Right now I have setups for over/under left/right, two by two grid, and three by three grid. I've got some plans to spend some time... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

The response time between switching "desktops" is basically instant. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I have been using fluxbox[1] for many years now, happily. It's a very barebones thing (in a good way) while also being highly configurable — customizable keyboard shortcuts, menus, scriptability, etc. It is not a tiling WM. It also doesn't have desktop icons by default. I thought I would miss those, but have found I do not. There are options[2] to add that if you want it. So, my setup is ~8 virtual... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

If you want to customize in detail your desktop and are not afraid to edit text files, awesome and fluxbox can be your option. Source: over 1 year ago

As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3. Source: about 2 years ago

Linux (Fedora), gvim (because it opens a new window instead of taking up yet-another-terminal-tab), fluxbox (because it has awesomely configurable hot-key support), dotfiles, chruby + ruby-install (with rubies installed into /opt/rubies), bundler + rspec + yard + rubygems-tasks + gemspec_yml + GitHub Actions on all of my Ruby projects.

You can use cinnamon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_(desktop_environment)) Should work a bit better not perfected. If you are on a potato run fluxbox imo. http://fluxbox.org/. Source: over 2 years ago
