Name | Structure | Bar | Menu | Window decoration | Difficulty | Config method | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tree | Yes | No | Border | Easy | Python | With Plasma it can be use tree-base tiling system like I3 and Sway but because Qtile is Python-base, it's way more hackable | |
Tree | Yes | No | Tabsbar | Easy | Plain text and script | It's a bit more bloat (Bar include), other than that this is two of the best windows manager because it's using tree-base tiling system, this allows for more flexible layouts than the list-based approach used by other windows manager | |
Tree | No | No | Border | Normal | Script | A blend between I3 (Tree tiling structure) and Xmonad (dynamic) | |
Binary tree | No | No | Border | Normal | Script | My first windows manager, very minimalistic but it's using binary tree tiling system which is confusing | |
Dynamic list | Yes | Yes | Border | Easy | Plain text | Xmonad but better | |
Dynamic list | Yes | Yes | Border | Easy | Haskell | A dynamic windows manager but lighter and way easier to config than Awesome WM | |
Dynamic list | Yes | Yes | Advance | Hard | Lua | It's have a powerful widget system that can be any UI elements from taskbar to menu, dashboard, lockscreen..., its takes a lot of time to config and you have to learn Awesome API | |
Stacking | Yes | Yes | Advance | Hard | Plain text | Awesome WM without widgets | |
Stacking | Yes | Yes | Tabsbar | Easy | Init | Openbox but a bit more advance | |
Stacking | Yes | Yes | Titlebar | Easy | Plain text and GUI | User friendly, it's window decoration isn't as good as other | |
Dynamic list | Yes | No | Border | Normal | Batch, compile C | It's follow Suckless philosophy, you have to compile DWM yourself to config which it's suck more, just use Awesome WM which it's secretly a fork of DWM |
