Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Unfortunately I do not have one of those videos, my experience with youtubers is that usually they do not go in depth.

    The most powerful wm's can be the ones based in tags(instead of workspaces) like dwm and riverwm, but they are conceptually harder to wrap your head around them and can be of higher cognitive effort than regular workspace wms.

    Window managers potential varies and even more so with your personal workflow. I would suggest checking the window manager for:

    • tag/workspace based
    • window tags(for workspace based)
    • window/workspace/tag movement
    • layouts
    • window tab/group
    • input support
    • output support
    • decorations

    The most important ones are workflow related because you cam always have a hotkey daemon running if the wm's input support isn't as good.

    Here are my dotfiles, none of those wm configs use all features but you get the idea.
