How are you finding awesomewm? I've just been on i3 since forever but I'm always interested to hear about other WMs
I used to be all over the place trying out different window managers like Bspwm, i3, and a bunch more in Xorg. Then I stumbled upon AwesomeWM, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster at first but totally worth it. This bad boy, written in Lua, let me tweak everything without needing extra add-ons. I could whip up notifications, lockscreen, bars, widgets - you name it - all in one go. No need for separate plugins cluttering things up. It was all pure Lua goodness, and that's what hooked me. Before Awesome, I had this mishmash of apps with their own configs in different languages. It worked, but it was a headache to manage. Awesome's simplicity and all-in-one setup just clicked for me. Even though I've moved on to Wayland and Hyprlnad now, AwesomeWM will always have a special place in my heart. Its blend of power and customization is just too good to forget.
