Linux: We Need Tiling Desktop Environments

• cortile

  6 614 8.6 Go

  Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support for Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Xfwm, KWin, Marco, Muffin, Mutter and other EWMH compliant window managers using the X11 window system. Therefore, this project provides dynamic tiling for XFCE, LXDE, LXQt, KDE and GNOME (Mate, Deepin, Cinnamon, Budgie) based desktop environments.

  Shoutout to cortile at https://github.com/leukipp/cortile which is an app that you install on top of lxde, xfce, gnome etc and enables tiling features. Great alternative to a fulm blown i3wm when ypu are sharing the computer with less savy users

• quicktile

  14 879 4.6 Python

  Adds window-tiling hotkeys to any X11 desktop. (An analogue to WinSplit Revolution for people who don't want to use Compiz Grid)

  Quicktile: https://github.com/ssokolow/quicktile

  Nobody is mentioning it but it is such a great tiling manager, I use it all the time. Just select the window with alt-tab and then tile the windows with Ctrl+alt+numeric keyboards. It's quick and it doesn't need a mouse to tile windows. And it can integrate into any x11 windows manager.
