So after testing all these window managers, which one do you use? Also, I've noticed many of the projects are stale, have not had any updates for several years - are they still surviving OK despite having little to no recent maintenance?
I have settled on instantWM for my personal computer for now. I love the animation features and out of the box click support (sometimes you need it). I'm waiting for kronkite to support Wayland so that I can use tiling on KDE Plasma. On my work computer (which is a MacBook ☹️), I use a tiling application called amethyst. But that's content for another blog. Even after not receiving an update for several years, most of them are going strong due to the fact that X11 hasn't got a major update either. The only downside is that likely none of these WMs will make it to Wayland, and that's a sad thing.
Cool, thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely check all that stuff out (!) I'm a plasma fan, but had issues getting settings sync to work on QT platforms as of late, so fell back to gnome for sheer compatibility reasons (guh, I wish it wasn't their default). If instantWM uses GTK+ it might be close enough not to cause any issues.
