-I am currently (once again) in the process of trying out different window
-managers to see which one fits my needs the most.  
-I used dwm from 2020 until mid 2022, where I then switched to i3wm. I also tried
-out ratpoison for a couple of weeks. Right now I'm using bspwm. I like it, but
-have some complaints. It's very easy to configure and use and it only uses about
-2MB of RAM, which probably makes it one of my top picks for low-end machines.
-The problem I have with it is after using ratpoison, I don't like how every
-other window manager arranges windows. I don't like the concept of workspaces
-and I don't want to use an external program like rofi or a dmenu script to
-switch between windows. Ratpoison makes this extremely easy by using screens
-and frames instead of workspaces. I don't need to worry about which workspace
-or screen or even which monitor a window is in, I can simply switch between
-them and don't have to place them in another workspace or monitor; it just
-works. This is the same problem I have with i3wm and dwm, although with i3wm
-you still have containers. With dwm and bspwm it's just either fullscreen one
-window or have them all in splits. I might try out herbstluftwm, because from
-what I've seen it also has the ability to split the screen into different
-frames.  
-Honestly, I might go back to ratpoison, because out of all window managers, this
-is the one that fits my workflow the most. The ONLY thing that I'm missing is
-that some extended window manager hints like _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW are not
-supported. This means that using a TUI file manager like nnn with the plugin
-preview-tabbed, the tabbed window always steals focus whenever I hover over a
-new file. I tried switching to preview-tui, but it always stops working after
-a couple seconds. I tried to patch the ewmh in myself by looking at sdorfehs -
-the spiritual successor to ratpoison - but it never worked.  
-I am still debating whether I even need this preview functionality. I only use
-it a couple times a month and could do everything I need to just with sxiv
-instead.
