There are many window managers. Tiling, floating, and all purpose window managers are insanely popular. I am going to list three of the most popular floating window managers, and what you should consider when picking what one to choose. I am only going to be covering floating window managers, so no tiling. However, there is still a lot to talk about, so let’s get into it.
I use gnome (because otherwise there’s so much functionality I have to think about, rather than get for free out of the box, on my laptop), and I think that means discussion talking about picking “window manager” just don’t apply to me (eg)? That is, while I can find an extension to change how windows are managed there isn’t really a clean separation between DE and WMs for gnome users.
I’m happy to be corrected though, and have an ELI5 moment.
