You can configure it by editing plain text files. I have tried many tiling wm and settled on i3wm as it is the best mix of simplicity and customizability.

Some famous tiling window managers are i3wm, awesome, xmonad, etc. In contrast, a tiling window manager is more like a drawing board divided into non-overlapping blocks where windows are displayed. They are based on the desktop metaphor that allows each program to be resized, reshaped, and overlapped. Earlier I used XFCE as it was reasonably efficient, but then I found i3wm, and it completely changed my workflow.Ĭompositing Window Managers, used in Microsoft Windows, OSX, Gnome, and KDE are the most popular Window Managers. I have been using Linux for quite a while now, but I was not satisfied with the default desktop environment choices available.
