I've been using arch + open box since 2011. Now switched to cachyos + labwc (Wayland version of open box).

Every once in a while I try something else realise what an absolute bloated mess it is and come back. A long time ago maybe 18 years back I used wmii which did tiling and it was reasonable (you could still resize with a mouse)

Why do you need tiling for anything that isn't s terminal? Just use tmux or ghostty?

If I want in labwc I can drag the window to the side and it snaps to half screen just like windows.

I stick with this set up even with 32GB ram it literally never fails and never has in over a decade.

My guess is hyperland takes forever to figure out and uses way more ram. No thanks

Openbox/labwc looks great out the box without this flailing about.
