This excellent video and link to the configs by @justaguylinux has me wanting to install and explore i3wm:

I have this notion of configuring my Xorg desktop on Alpine Linux to have a single desktop with all windows as tabs, and i3wm has a built-in tab mode.

I use a tiling window manager in which I can create and manage terminals easily. Is there some reason I might want to use a terminal multiplexer?

Help :)
Being a FreeBSD/Linux sysadmin for ages, I’ve spent most of my life using those OSes headless (them, not me) on the server side and macOS on the desktop side.
Now that I want to try and get a proper FreeBSD desktop I’m facing a whole new field of knowledge I don’t have (yet).
Is there a good and comprehensive resource that explains layer after layer the structure of a full desktop cake?
What’s the «Desktop» role (ex. LXQT), what’s the «Window Manager» role (ex. XFWM4), what’s the «Graphics Platform» role (ex. X11) and how do they plug/interact, how do one chooses the layers for one’s desktop cake, etc. ?
Where does the login part comes into play? What’s the difference between X11 and Xorg? Can you mix & match anything?

I've removed KDE from my main system. There's much to like about it, but I haven't used it for months. Now I vacillate between Hyprland and Niri.
No more graphical text editors! Just nvim.
I haven't removed my graphical file manager yet. That will be next to go; I'm using Ranger more and more.

@dennyhenke I was just looking for a #WindowManager that could use those themes, but I fear there aren't any, even in the #GNUStep camp which should be the nearer to those sensibilities (I used unar https://theunarchiver.com/command-line to unpack those SIT files from @macthemes
Would it be too much if I started reacting to seeing #Windows interfaces by pretending I didn't know which #Linux #WindowManager that was? Maybe recommending they switch to #KDE? :kde: :linux:

La vache niri! Der lachende Windowmanager!
Introducing #Yashiki: A new tiling window manager for macOS.
If you miss #River or #AwesomeWM on your Mac, this is for you.
It features tag-based workspace management and an external layout engine (plugin system), heavily inspired by the River philosophy.
I built this over the weekend because I needed something closer to my Linux workflow.

On a completely unrelated note, I think imma try this #Niri #WindowManager I keep hearing about. Gonna throw the Niri version of #PikaOS on my laptop and dive straight into deep end.
Oh, have I told y'all that The Owlbear is running PikaOS on their gaming computer? And is rather liking it? I know, the Owlbear running #Debian based #Linux. I'm as surprised as anyone.
(FTR before anyone jumps on me, I have absolutely nothing against Debian, and in fact recognize it as possibility the most important of the major distributions; any and all shots I make at Debian are jokes.)
As a long-time #AwesomeWM and #River user on #Linux, I started a project called #AeroTag to extend #AeroSpace.
I’m super happy with the result. With this, I feel like I can finally live comfortably in the Mac world! ☺️

in love torturing my old underpowered hardware
Ahora me está picando la curiosidad de instalarme una distro como Debian sin entorno de escritorio y sacarme un gestor de ventanas para irlo llenando de mis apps escogidas, personalizarlo. Aún sigo verde en esto de usar terminales, poner numeritos y comandos, pero siento que podría lanzarme en ese paso luego de aprender un poco más.
@sysedit @tfb +1 for AwesomeWM, because it is awesome :-)
It has a rich enough library of widgets and other things, allowing to construct that user want — from usual WM with windows (default settings) to tiling WM.
It is like StumpWM, but with some batteries included (or maybe I'm just suck with Common Lisp, lol).
