    Sooo… I guess I was outta the loop pretty hard. I just spun up Omarchy on account of all the hype surrounding it, and had just enough time with it to fall in love with the workflow before stumbling on this post.

    So does anyone have a recommendation for a good tiling window manager that isn’t created by racists, transphobes, mysogonists, or any other kind of bigots? Or is this just a… time to run back to base Arch with KDE sorta day?

    Edit: And if you are going to inform me that Arch or KDE is run by or support bigots… can you wait until the weekend? Please?

      If you do end up back on KDE, Khronkite is a great kwin script for dynamic tiling windows. Not quite as good as Hyprland.

      I’ve played briefly with river but it’s a lot less dynamic (at least visually). I haven’t found anything that feels as good as Hyprland.

        Been looking at Niri, seems really cool. And I greatly appreciate the level of comments in their config files. Can’t be sure I’ll like the “scrolling wm” style, but only one way to find out! Thanks for the rec!

      I like sway. It doesn’t get in the way and I don’t really need the eyecandy (and there’s als sway-fx).

      Then, you can create your own workflow with dmenu/rofi (or even use walker, like Omarchy).

      Also: check out Bread on Linux’s videos. She’s so wholesome and chill while keeping the linux spirit real.

        Both, I mean… Bread on Linux and Sway! Thanks for the recommendations!

      Everyone I know in KDE-land (granted quite a few have moved onto other things now) was always welcoming and inclusive.

      And despite Miguel de Icaza (Gnome) being an absolute douche, Ive never known him to be problematic in a right-wing way either.

      But thats just what I know, and I don’t know everything. But I think youre OK with KDE and Arch.
