bspwm: Don't open new nodes on empty desktops
I initially programmed this "dynamic desktops" implementation for a
similar feel to GNOME, however after using it for a few months I
realized that I was taking away one of the main advantages of a tiling
window manager by having all windows not tile by default.

Additionally, I ran into some edge cases where the next window would not
show if opened on a desktop that had multiple nodes open. Although I
could probably figure out the cause with some effort, I'd much rather
enjoy the simplicity of the traditional tiling hierarchy once more.

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 or tmux for this instead)
