▲ 26 ▼ What is your favourite floating window manager? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml 36 comments fedilink hide all child comments Hi there, I'm looking at floating window mangers as an in-between of DEs and escaping configuration hell (somewhat) of tiling Window Managers. Specifically, I was looking at IceWM and OpenBox, but would love recommendations and discussion on what you like and why. Cheers!
