                I think you’re confusing a window manager with a tiling window manager.

                For some reason, I’ve actually been thinking about that a lot since I joined lemmy. Weird coincidence, that.

                What’s WMs?

                  As a hyper simplistic explanation :
                  Window Managers (WMs) are essentially keyboard centric highly stripped down and highly customizable Desktop Environments in a way. This isn’t completely correct, but for the sake of simplicity it’ll do.

                  I can give you a much more technical explanation if you want.

                    I’m not in the mood to read something super technical right now- But actually y’know what, I will be tomorrow. Hit me with that shit or if it’s as much as you seem to be implying, make a post and link me in.

                  A window manager, and you are usually using one and can’t “stay away” from it, that person just doesn’t know what they’re blabbering. What they are trying to say is that choosing a window manager may lead you to trying some unusual workflow.

                I actually have used (for fun and autism’s sake) Linux with just VTs, running X for one GUI application at a time without a WM.

                But I think you are just ignorant of there always being some program to manage your windows called window manager, while using X.

                  REMOVE THE STICK FROM YOUR ASS.

                    While under Wayland there are no window managers at all, it’s an X concept, could you please kindly realize that you’ve already licked that stick?
