[β] secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Also what the fuck is a tiling window manager? I want it! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Zetta@mander.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) Instead of having your windows float around, they perfectly snap and fill the space of the monitor depending on how many windows you have open. A new DE in alpha right now called Cosmic has both floating windows and tiling, you can change with just a toggle. Cosmic is great so far, I run it on Fedora. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Oh my gosh I need this now.

Being forced to work tiled is backwards. If as someone mentioned in Cosmic you can toggle it off and on ( and the toggle is esasily accesible, not buried in settings) I'm fine with that permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] coldy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago "Being forced to work tiled" that's the main feature of a tiling wm though... If you tried it for a while, you'd realize just how annoying floating windows really are. All that manual positioning, focus issues, getting them stuck or hidden behind other windows, etc. For big monitors, I would say tiling is just flat superior to floating windows managers. permalink fedilink source parent
