Why do we need tiling window managers when we have tmux? (lemmy.world)

I used to use Sway and I found tiling to be useful only when using multiple terminals. Tmux allows me to have tiling functionalities for terminals while having a full desktop environment for all other applications.

For most people using a tiling window manager is something they want for their whole user experience, not just for tiling terminals haha

Because not everything can be viewed in terminal, crab_man

I've tried hard to get libreoffice and dvddisaster to render in a terminal but for some reason it never works... 😏

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
