gollark: Well, something something anthropic principle.
gollark: Awesome is maintained, right? Arch has a list.
gollark: I'm also using a Wayland-based one, so I have slightly more power efficiency and no screen tearing.
gollark: In a "tiling" WM, you instead split up the screen and have things take up fractions of it. They also generally let you have multiple workspaces with different sets of windows in them.
