> I’ve been using linux for about 20 years and have never used a tiling WM. What are the benefits? Depends a lot on what you are doing. For programming: * much better use of screen real estate, more code fits on your display - you need to work less from memory * the above is even more useful if your vision is not perfect. * very fast switching between e.g. terminal and editor. This is very well suited for repetetive workflows like edit - compile - test - read documentation * good for keyboard-centered mode of work, like writing code. * good if you want several screens / workspaces for working on several somewhat separate tasks For the record, I am using StumpWM, a manual tiling WM. If it isn't available, I prefer i3wm (or sway) since it is standard. But I like the manual layout control more.
