By skyforbes TLDR: New to Linux and want to make an educated WM choice before I spend endless hours customizing one of them, just to find out later it does not fit my criteria well. Couple other questions at the end, too.
Preferences:
- Wayland compositor (think I used that term right?). I understand Wayland performs better and is “the future”
- Tiling, but allows for floating toggle mode
- Either dynamic tiling out of the box or some way to set it up
- Performative/light. I’m trying to learn about Linux/computers and don’t want to be overwhelmed with too much going on in my computer.
- Configurable/plug-in-able. I assume most of them are, but I’d like it to not be overwhelming to build from the base up.
I am currently leaning towards Sway, but it seems like there are limitations on dynamic tiling. Would love some input if you think there is another one that suits my wants better.
Also, I would love to make a GitHub repo somewhere in ~/ or ~/.config/ so that I can keep all my customizations for when I distro hop or brick my computer from tinkering or whatever else. How does one go about doing this?
Also also, how can I set up Alt+Tab functionality like most DEs have with my WM? In my research for Sway, it seemed like it should be possible to have a Wofi menu that only shows open windows and bind to Alt+Tab, and then also having a Wofi menu for app search like windows.
Also also also, if you have any hotbars, menus, customizations, or whatever else that you really like, I’d like to hear about them.
Thanks
