Tiling is old news, bring on scrollable window managers.

I honestly think scrollable VM is the future of window management. It just make sense to arrange windows like that instead of cram multiple opened windows in a fixed area.

Are there any scrolling WMs you can recommend? I have always been interested but never found one that I could get working (on Linux).

I've found Niri* to be the best but there are stability/performance problems (especially when you go over +20 windows) with all of them. Maybe once they will be "baked-in" in Gnome/KDE things will change.

This seriously makes me want to dual boot Linux just to try. I think I'll add it to my todo list on a free weekend.
