What are tile managers for if xfce has such a feature?

Question

linux

I didn’t use tile managers, tell me, what does xfce give me in this regard is absolutely the same as in ordinary tile managers or is there something else?

Answer 1

Firstly, tile managers tend to use resources (in particular, RAM) much more economically. Secondly, they are initially adapted for such use, that is, it is more convenient to work in them in this mode, unlike general-purpose WM.

Answer 2

Tile WMs can be compared to townhouses. This is not a full-fledged house, but it is no longer an apartment. They allow you to combine terminals with GTK / QT applications, resize, panels, smart virtual tables, fonts, wallpapers and other things that are not in a regular console, but you want. They are for lovers of text, keyboards, vim-like editors, lots of ssh sessions, geek-hacker-like style, speed. I was also always drawn to i3, but several attempts to use it showed that if you sit 90% of the time in the browser, you simply do not use it. After all, there are super-lightweight WMs like JWM, iceWM, which are also very, very light. Something like 80 MB after download. And yes, there is also pseudo-tiling, if you get tired of resizing. I don't use it: ALT-left/right_mouse_button helps me to move and resize windows. Killer feature of Linux. There is no such thing anywhere. Cheerz)

Answer 3

I am using i3wm.
I like the ability to remove all unnecessary window frames and control the opening, switching and closing of windows through the keyboard. The system is built on keyboard shortcuts, you can very easily set up the launch of anything, through any keyboard shortcut.
