I use dwm in my laptop, but previously used i3wm for a few years. I’m curious about:

  • How well EXWM performs nowadays?
  • Is it resource heavy compared to other tiling window managers?
  • Is it still an issue EXWM not being multi-threaded?

My daily tasks involves just opening chrome, telegram and/or slack, watching movies and coding of course. Would it be a good fit for my needs?

I’d love to know your thoughts if you use or have some previous experience with EXWM. Thank you in advance!

    I recently tried exwm on my janky-monitor desk/laptop. Had some learning experiences with xorg and use-package. Ultimately gave up for now because of Xorg’s horrible performance over VNC (long story but basically the only way to use 3 monitors on that laptop is beaming the display across the room and back thru a cable). But if your setup is any more straightforward than mine, it’s probably amazing.
