I tried i3 and now just wondering, which WM I can pick and why, because of their great diversity. Any advices?
I use bspwm and I really like the unicorne philosophy of the config files (bspwm controls your windows and such, sxhkd controls keybinds, two separate programs and config files. The bspwm config file is also just a bash file so you can add anything bash related to it easily.
This said, I love the dynamic workspaces on i3 and wish bspwm could replicate them. I don’t like i3 enough to switch to it purely because it’s also on x, but when Nvidia gets better Wayland support I’m definitely hopping ship to sway (i3 on sway basically)… Or when I’m able to swap my 3080 ti for an and gpu at a reasonable price
I personally use and recommend Sway.
If you are the kind of person who cares about the culture around the software that you use, avoid hyprland. It’s creator is antilgbt and their discord server is pretty toxic. I also happen to think their documentation sucks.
You can join the discord and check it for yourself. Been on it since December 2023 but never once saw one toxic comment. Also don’t know since when but the discord has no off topic conversation. The discord screenshots in drews blog were 2-3 years ago.
Hyprland already has explicit sync enabled unlike sway. Sway is good too but at that pount I’d just be using i3 which is more stable.
