nog VS leftwm

Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.

I wrote my very first window manager for Windows 10 in Rust earlier this here, I built it from the ground up using the new windows-rs crate. It was my first time developing anything for Windows and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the MS documentation ecosystem, and I also had a lot of great example code to learn from thanks to other projects like nog.

My pick would be nog, also see this post. Probably worth a try.

Instead of explorer.exe, I use Nog which is a tiling window manager for Windows. I have x410 autostart and wsl launch i3.

To give credit where it is due, I borrowed and repurposed a fair chunk of code from https://github.com/TimUntersberger/nog, https://github.com/tarkah/grout and https://github.com/yazgoo/umberwm to get up and running.

(Also I wouldn't mind if you want to contribute to leftwm ;))

LeftWM if you are adventurous and want to support more Rust projects on Linux.

I'm using a tiling window manager (LeftWM) and picom with experimental backends for compositing. I'm running into issues configuring picom for use on my laptop when I am on battery power. Two problems arise:

I've looked at these: - DWM: A popular, compact WM written in C - LeftWM: A popular, configurable WM written in Rust - GabelstaplerWM: An obscure, compact WM written in Rust - XCB DWM: An abandoned rewrite of DWM using XCB

Been using and liking LeftWM: https://github.com/leftwm/leftwm

In particular, I think that "ultrawide-vertical-stack" (based on "CenterMain" from LeftWM) is quite close to what you are looking for. Give it a try with komorebic change-layout ultrawide-vertical-stack!
