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!

    It is a great WM, the only really downside is the single threaded bit, which you can fix by opening another instance of emacs and passing keycaps directly, so that you run any processes that you know will block you in any time, in the created instance, this with emacs server is all you need.
