From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fully featured tilling window managers (like DEs) for lazy people (lemmy.ml)

I love WMs but sometimes I wish there was also a fully featured WM (like a DE) for lazy people.

Because sometimes I can't be bothered customizing the configs and I would just rather have a slightly more bloated setup but with faster customization and some features out of the box without to much researching.

But in my perspective, in terms of work flow WMs are just the way to compute efficiently.

Do you have any suggestions of projects that might be out there that do fill this niche?

Are you asking for a gnome extension like g Forge https://github.com/forge-ext/forge or https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM ?

More like traditional dynamic tilling WM

There's wayblue https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue which sounds like what you want

Thank you! I didn't know this images already existed and wanted to make something like this myself. Very neat!

Only for fedora?

After trying i3 and sway for a bit I've landed on just using Forge and Gnome. I really would recommend trying it. It's my daily driver for work.

It's a fully dynamic tiling solution and on top of a traditional DE.

Very interesting, going to check it out 🤙

If you have used openbox before just do a diff merge of differences between your openbox and labwx/rc.xml

so you get the same setup. They are very compatible. waybox is crap, it is just a base wm for kde-plasma/gnome ..etc.
