#2Used it before, felt like it needed a little more. Great otherwise. After being spoiled with the Windows 8 tiling system I can't seem to appreciate tiling managers on Linux as much as I should.

I'm not familiar with the Windows 8 system, anything interesting you don't see in most tiling window managers?

#4What have been people's experiences with Qtile? I've used ion, Xmonad, and more recently i3wm and would love to hear what's good and not so good about Qtile.

No, not to mention they're all hackable. This is just a shit-post about half-a-decade-old software.

#6I've looked at using Qtile before, but opted to go for I3 as it seemed to be a bit more mature. Would love to hear experiences/thoughts of anyone using this, I would love to switch to it and be able to leverage my existing python knowledge for customizing.

One of the things about i3 that is really compelling is the multi-monitor support.

Heh, I was toying with "...not implemented in most..".

#9Does anyone know how it handles multiple monitors? I recently switched from xmonad to awesome and while I'm happy with it, having a separate set of screens for each monitor is pretty annoying.
It's been said before but everyone writing a tiling window manager should make it work just like xmonad does for multiple screens, they really got it perfect.

It being Python makes it easier to get the basics done, but for me there's not a lot of value in that fact, other than setting up initial login layouts and screens I'm not a great user of WM scripting, or at least what I do use (setting up workspaces at login and always pushing X app to screen Y, floating all mpv windows) there's not a lot of difficulty or difference in sticking it in a .py file or an xmonad.hs
