From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

feel free to list other window managers you've used.

I have been happy with bspwm, but considering trying something else. I love its simplicity and immense customizability. I like that it is shell scriptable, but it is not a deal breaker feature for me.

I like how the binary split model makes any custom partition possible.

bspwm. Initially I found the way it split up bspwm from bspc intriguing. Also messing around with the configuration is less of a pain in the ass than dwm was which I used for some years previous to bspwm. At this point there's a lot of inertia as I've been using it for years, but it seems like wayland is going to be the thing moving forward so I should probably be thinking about a compatible replacement.
