I cycled through dwm at one point. The thing that killed me was that on my nvidia machine, for some reason it would flash when I changed desktops, like the draw order was wrong. i3 is the only tiling window manager that didn't, I think because it uses xcb instead of xlib.

I love the magical bullshit in the description. Each line contains some face palm.

> dwm doesn't distinguish between layers: there is no floating or tiled layer. Whether or not the clients of currently selected tag(s) are in tiled layout, you can rearrange them on the fly. Popup and fixed-size windows are always floating, however.

Ok so it does have floating then?

> Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.

Ok so you can package then....?

> dwm is only a single binary, and its source code is intended to never exceed 2000 SLOC.

Strange flex but ok.

> dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes without any additional tools, such as for printing the selection or warping the mouse.

It uses x, x warps the mouse.

> dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which isn't known at compile time, except window titles and status text read from the root window's name.

ok so there is input that could hacked (not saying there IS, but if you process strings or floats from the user those can contain unexpected values).

All that said, suckless tools are nice, just think the mindset is hilarious.
