I only tried a tiling WM for a few days several years ago. I am ok using the terminal but not everything can be done easily there. In the screenshots of people setups, there are always fancy terminals. Are tiling WM good also for other GUI a part from terminals?

    As someone who’s exclusively used tiling WM for the past few years you can do anything a full blown DE. I like them for a couple of reasons:

    1. they don’t come with any extra software that I will never use.
    2. They’re light weight with minimal overhead
    3. They are extremely customizable, key bindings are second nature for me know.

    I do use the terminal for a lot of things, but I also use the GUI for lots of stuff like web browsing, graphic editing, and gaming.
