Anyone questioning the usefulness of this method probably don't need it. Although I haven't tried Niri itself but through this thread I got introduced to paperwm and been using it for the last 5 days and I don't think I'm going to need anything else. At some point I had real plans to make a sophisticated sway config based on my needs (and a couple of ideas I had) and I have found this solution to be perfectly inline with my ideas. My problem with TWM is that I don't need small windows because I use a small laptop and cutting the height in half is not an option. My main idea was every windows should span to full height and have meaningful width with an easy way to navigate between them and these STWM seem to be pretty on point. With just limited options to chose (when resizing a window) changes can be made in seconds (I mainly only use 4 default sizes 38% 50% 62% 100% width all spanning to take full height of the screen) Before I had to alt-tab to infinity trying to reach my desired window (I have disabled dock and top bar in Gnome and maximizing for me is the same as full-screen) and thus my greediness to use all pixels of my screen made navigating with more than three or four windows impossible. But now I have my solution. I wonder how other people are using these because I understand my use case is kinda crazy and to some extent stupid. |
