On: TinyWM – A tiny window manager in around 50 lines of C

[dmos62]

For anyone pondering minimal/unbloated window managers, checkout cwm [0][1]. I've been using it exclusively for quite some time now. It's quick to compile, has sane configuration and is the most ergonomic floating wm I've used. I don't see myself ever needing anything else, provided I don't see myself using a tiled wm.

Thanks for sharing. I'm a GNOME user but I want to try something lighter so I'm learning everything about "windows managers". I have never heard of "cwm" before, the only "cwm" that I was aware of is the "closed world machine" [1] so I was very confused at first :) Going to try it now, I wonder how it compares with awesomewm.

I use it too. It gets out of my way better than other window managers/desktops I've used. It's amazing how much good stuff comes out of OpenBSD despite the limited manpower.
