# bspwm

[bspwm][bspwm] is a tiling window manager for X11.

## Use Cases

bspwm can be used to:

- Automatically tile all kinds of windows, maximizing screen estate
- Have complete control of your window manager through simple shell commands
- Minimize resource usage; bspwm works best without a desktop environment

You should not use bspwm if:

- You are using a desktop environment
- You just want to open multiple shells (use [kitty](/kitty) or [tmux](/tmux) for this instead)

Revert "meta: Remove bspwm" 2 months ago, I removed bspwm in favor of GNOME. After using GNOME as a daily driver for some months now, I can appreciate it as a nice desktop environment for many GNU/Linux users, however it does not meet my needs as well as a customized window manager setup can. In reality, I don't need too much from a window manager; it just needs to manage windows in a reasonable way. For anything else I need, I am free to program it myself as a learning exercise. I prefer understanding most if not everything running in my environment versus having various GNOME utilities running in the background. 2023-03-19 21:09:04 +01:00			`# bspwm`
