I first wrote about them back in <a href="../i3wm">2018</a>, and mentioned them often subsequently.</p> <p>In my mind WMs can be categorised into two broad camps, and further subdivisions can be applied. The two broad camps are stacking window managers (where windows for newly-opened apps appear over previous apps), and dynamic tiling window managers where new windows open adjacent to current windows on some predetermined basis.</p>
