Arch+dwm - why I use tiling window management to optimize workflow

Excellent video! I will definitely pass it on to try to convert people at work to the wonders of tiling windows managers. I use Sway at work and Hyprland at home (since Sway still struggles with NVidia cards), there really isn’t a bad choice out of the lot, and will have to give dwm a try for the minimalism aspect.

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Thank you! I'll make a Hyprland video at some point, even if minimalism is more my thing, it's for sure worth a try :-)

Thanks to KZbin for recommending this video ro me. Even more thanks to you for explaining DWM to me as I am about to jump back into Linux again after a 20 year hiatus.

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Hello, glad to hear! It's definitely a great choice for learning Linux as well; the more hands-on you have to be with a system, the more you learn how it functions

[@bobbyhinner3225]

I like tiling window management. When I was super busy in college, I'd use a tiling window manager to stay productive. Notes for the class I was in on one tab, code for a different class in another. I got lazy/wanted to game so I switched away back to gnome/kde/whatever else, but maybe I should go back and try again.

[@rogo7330]

I find myself using windows fullscreen most of the time. The ability to just Win+number to switch to another "tag" is GOAT though. The greatest thing about dwm is that it just does one thing and does it well (enough). It's simple to use it with whatever wallpaper manager (i wrote mine myself) or statusbar (just text, also wrote it myself) or dmenu (which is not part of dwm itself and you can just replace it or don't have it at all). Gnome advocates never understand that feeling of being able to just make yourself comfortable and not trying to re-learn wtf is your computer doing but MAKING it do what you want from it.

[@BreadOnPenguins]

I completely agree with what you've said here, especially that last sentence - there's no reason to adapt to a feature you don't like, when you can just change it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Tiling WM are the best. For some reason, i3 was not working for me. Not that it's bad, but I felt restrictive. I then switched to Qtile. Haven't tried dwm yet. I'm planning to try as many WM as possible just to see which really comes more close to my liking. Thanks for this intro. Also, I'm seeing a girl with such a deep voice for the first time. Nicely explained tho. More video, keep'em coming pls..

I use DWM with arch as well on my linux box. This looks cool and clean. Mine looks quite similar to yours. Take the sub friend.

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Arch+dwm users unite! Haha Thanks very much, I appreciate it

[@vanyasmirn]

Thanks for the video! Tiling wm's are always cool to see. Still, as a non-programmer, I fail to see the benefits as opposed to something like GNOME (practically; philosophy notwithstanding). I mostly read files (epub, pdf, djvu), browse the internet or edit documents (Libre Office). I very rarely use my terminal and even then don't have it open all the time. For this usecase it seems having more than two windows side-by-side is really not a good idea, also not sure if the header bar will be seen and will integrate as well. Mouse is also a necessity for all of the usecases. While twm seem amazing, I am still convinced that it only makes sense for software- adjacent people. But more power to you!

[@BreadOnPenguins]

No prob; thanks for watching! I do appreciate your points there, I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference and workflow. In my previous job I did some testing of how quickly I could accomplish tasks in a WM vs on a stock windows 10, and there was a significant difference. But it sounds like for your use case, a normal DE works fine :)

[@znlive5018]

Here's my hot take: desktop environments on Linux generally suck. Gnome is stable but if you customize it (and you generally would given how minimalist it is) it turns unstable. Kde is customizable out of the box but also unstable. Cinnamon and xcfe are stable but have the looks of a late 90's software. I can see why so many people prefer a minimalist and robust WM, specially if they use the terminal a lot.

[@vanyasmirn]

@@znlive5018 Seems like a very common take, to be honest. sure, it's not ideal, especially when comparing to Windows or MacOS. But they have been polishing theirs for decades, while, as I understand it, Linux people were having the exact same conversation as we do for 30 years lol. It all comes down to this: if we want Linux to be widely adopted, it should be **just as** easily useable as the alternatives, and that means stable, intuitive, feature-complete desktop. No chances in the world that there ever will be one unified, so for now it's either KDE (almost Windows, way overdesigned and complicated) or Gnome (homebrew MacOS, minimalist and easy to learn, but restrictive and not intuitive at first. Also GNOME Foundation people are insane). For a truly modern competitive desktop, I mean. COSMIC looks very promising but will take years before it's ready. But I would like to stress that there is no other way: I simply fell in love with Linux so am willing to forgive almost anything; not so for a normal user. The window manager is NOT a viable alternative for these people (and me) in any way, unfortunately. It is what it is, I guess.

[@vanodon2257]

dwm is the best wm its just so minimal and cool with the patching system i love it my first ever wm my only ever wm

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Agreed! I've tried many WMs but settled with dwm.

[@Vitis-n2v]

I personally use either awesome wm or spectrwm(originally scrotwm). Both are dynamic window managers. Awesome wm is fully customizable through lua config and you can create literally anything including widgets for the statusbar in the lua config. Spectrwm is more barebones and pretty similar to dwm in the functionality. It includes it's own bar which you usually fill with output of a script or you can disable it and use polybar or some other bar that works with it.

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Cool, thanks for the comment! I've used awesome before but not spectrwm, I might have a look at it at some point. :)

[@underconfident_asmr]

I've never understood or looked into tiling WM's, I never tried to though because I've been a little too fond of both wmaker and cde, I switch between the two every great once in awhile. This was an interesting lesson, I think I'll mess with this a bit. But between my current obsession with Debian inside the ChromeOS environment and then my undying love for FreeBSD, I'm an outright heathen 😊

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Fair enough! It always does come down to choosing programs that work best for you. Debian inside a ChromeOS env sounds fun to tinker with :)

[@underconfident_asmr]

@@BreadOnPenguins It is! Those applications so far seem to run flawlessly for me right on the desktop environment and can be pinned to the "shelf" like any other application. I've already altered the package repository to allow for the non-free packages as well, and I have to admit, having a capacity to run all of the ChromeOS, Android, and desktop Linux stuff all under one roof simultaneously is pretty fun! I haven't however tried to see If WM's can be used alongside of or in place of the ChromeOS desktop.

[@krazeemonkee]

this video is so wonderfully presented + it demonstrates such a beautiful workspace [both w/ your specific calm color-scheme + soothing painting/background] that i found myself coming back to it to get another taste for dwm ~ i'm about to take my leap into the linu[x] world + while i have full certainty of nixOS as being my distribution, i was quite set on hyperland until i saw this video ~ technically, can't hyperland do everything dwm can but just w/ more spizaz? is that essentially the main difference [the flashiness of wayland]? why might one choose dwm over hyperland?

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Thank you so much! NixOS is a great choice, hope you have fun with that setup! The flashiness of hyprland is the biggest difference on the surface, and beneath, dwm is a much more minimal program. The suckless philosophy derives from the Unix philosophy of do one thing, and do it well. All suckless programs are very easy to edit and configure for new users - dwm is comprised of only a few relatively short files. Long story short - if you're interested in a minimal experience, and editing code for the wm yourself, dwm is a great choice. If your priority is animations, smooth look and feel, and extra features, then hyprland makes sense. Hope that helps you out, and thanks for commenting :)

[@krazeemonkee]

​@@BreadOnPenguins mhm, this is a great explanation that gets to the very core of these two tools that functionally do the same thing ~ i also love the idea for a pack of softwares to be bound by such a unifying philosophy/credo ~ thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful reply, it helps a lot in my choosing/understanding, which is often rooted in the software's principles ~ in this case, i did see a hyper-cool neon hyprland theme which burnt a similar sense of pleasantness in my brain as your dwm one so i'll be simmering on these two options this week as i start bringing things to life 🤗

why not sway or hyprland? does dwm works on wayland or is it just for x11?

[@BreadOnPenguins]

I'm generally a fan of the suckless philosophy, especially simplicity and minimalism rather than an exhaustive features list, so functionality over aesthetics. I have used i3 however neither it nor sway handle windows dynamically. Every user has different priorities, so if you prefer a smooth and feature-extensive system over minimalism, Hyprland or others certainly make sense. dwm itself is for X, but dwl is essentially dwm for wayland.

Awesome WM is very complete with lots more features built-in, while dwm is very minimal and allows you to configure and build from the ground up, adding only the features you really want with patches. It comes down to philosophy and personal preference :)

[@sinless]

I tried hyprland but it gave me tons of bugs and issues so i decided against it. i want to use arch with a tiling manager but i'm worried that it's too much of an uphill battle for a noob like me. i have an nvidia gpu which i heard isn't as supported (as good) by default. i see some awesome picom blur rice with bspwm so maybe i'll try that? but then you are promoting dwm. it's all too much for me, i just need someone to tell me what's best lol. i kinda want to have a normal desktop and a tiling manager at the same time. but with hyprland i couldn't even left click on some things. even right clicking on the desktop did nothing. that's an issue to me coming from windows... and since i'm new, i don't really know all of the differences between the debate of WM vs DEs. but i'm really trying. not gonna give up. but it needs to be stable for my CS classes too. And Arch just in general has been quite unstable once I started installing these things and straying away from KDE/Gnome.

[@BreadOnPenguins]

First of all it's good you are trying and not giving up! You can actually use a tiling window manager on top of KDE, in order to get a tiling WM experience, but still have the features of a full DE in order to retain what you're used to from Windows. Kwin does support a quick tiling mode by default, as well. Here is KDE's guide for using a different WM: userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Managers_with_Plasma That might be a good starting place if you're not fully comfortable with standalone WMs yet, and then once you're more familiar with Linux overall you can try dwm, bspwm, etc. The "best" WM ultimately is personal preference and starts to have some pretty esoteric arguments (minimal code, philosophy, etc), so if you are completely new then it's worth trying a bunch and seeing what you like. Hope this helped you out, I'm sure you'll find a good setup that works for you eventually :)

Some windows are just "junk windows": a terminal from which I open some gui app because I wanted to open it with some additional parameters from shell (files, flags, or even something complex that pipes into xarg that then opens gui app). Still thinking about experimenting what can be done about that ("minimize window to taskbar"-sayers - go away with your taskbar crap). The problem is that dwm is, to be honest, very messy piece of C code that have too many different functions that used most of the time only once or just only in one place, and naming is just shit. Probably will have to rewrite it, but still its code will be a big helper in understanding what a program needs to do as a X11 window manager.

Hm, that's fair. If I'm using anything frequently that requires flags etc, I just set up a shortcut for launching. Due to its history, dwm is probably among the best for learning from, good luck if you rewrite at some point!
