windows were never meant to overlap, the desktop was never meant to be looked at. do not fear the real tiling window manager. sooner or later, you’ll make the switch.
That looks like it was annoying to place the windows
KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM’s are but you’re able to define a layout and snap them into place.
Well that’s cool, though for me the advantage of a tiling window manager is how dynamic it is. I can switch desktops, switch windows, resize windows, toggle full screen, change layouts, and move windows all with quick keystrokes or key+mouse combinations. If I had to choose my layout ahead of time I’d be sad, because what I want on my screen and where I want it is constantly changing
Snap them manually into place everytime you boot your machine, this is worsen than stacking! I am using it right now because I haven’t set up a #twm on my desktop yet. Its ridiculous.
Looks amazing, from a person scared of “real” tiling window managers to another lol. Also, what is that dashboard with shortcuts called, again? I swear I’ve seen it before as a Heimdall/Homer alternative but can’t recall for the life of me…
Thanks! The dashboard i’m using is Dashy
That’s the one, thanks!
real tiling managers are awesome.
I love AwesomeWM as a window manager. It’s pretty easy, even for a complete beginner. I highly recommend.
Would you be willing to share your wallpaper? I really like it.
The wallpaper came from a paid collection from the “Backdrops” app on iOS and Android. The collection is called “Optic Odyssey”.
I get “No Results Found” when. Searching for that in the backdrops app.
Edit: Nevermind I found it. But that specific wallpaper doesn’t seem to be there for me. Any change you know what mission number that one is?
Its there, it’s under premium.
Yup, I found it but I don’t see that wallpaper in the connection.
Pretty sure it’s Mission 31
Edit: So the one showing is the phone version, I paid for pro but still can’t find the desktop version. Though it says full size is 2115x3600
Ah! I’m so sorry it was actually the “Cosmic Journeys” collection. And it’s number 91 in the collection. I feel terrible if a few of you went and bought the wrong one. I had bought the Optic one as well for my phone so got them mixed up.
No worries, I have Play Pass so the premium collections were free, except the Cosmic Journeys one.
Looks like I’ll be grabbing that one.
Thanks for following up and letting us know!
