Fvwm is what you want https://homeforaday.org/fvwm/ I'm using it with 2-pixel thick borders, pseudo-rio menus and 5 3x3 virtual desktops. It's pretty unintrusive.

A file from my demo for >>>/games/35538 , that i stupidly bulk deleted when renaming the project and had to find an undelete tool for. Currently i'm writing a transpiler for it to common lisp and i think i finally got the quoting syntax right. The demo will be a mix of interactive fiction and time management, sort of like degrees of lewdity but with fixed routes.

if you are using x11 you can pretty much write your own wm in like 1000 C lines
wayland… try using the explore feature from github, there are lot of good small projects that are practically unknown even among enthusiasts

Embrace the bloat. I stopped ricing because Cosmic DE came along with the out of the box functionality I was autistically obsessed with. Tiling WM with vim controls.

>wayland…
Yup, that's the thing. Wayland is lighter and eats up less battery than Xorg so no way I'm going back anyway.

lol this only makes sense if you have some gaymer rig. otherwise its fucking retarded to have simple tools like a window manager eat up like 5% of your cpu

No, you are retarded.

Battery life on Linux just blows. Somehow it's worse than Windows.

The window manager and task launcher, dumbass. Unless you want to stare at fbdev all day.

>>28851
This, but unironically.

launchers are not the same as a bar and even then you literally launch a program and thats it, you dont "use the bar most of the time" rofl
