Hi people, I would like to present you this little website called "Window Manager Central" I had abandoned for a while. While this Lemmy community is mainly for window manager news and discussions, the new website is trying to be some sort of collection of good tips and resources from around the web. The reason for this is that I can see a lot of people sharing their little tips either in Reddit, Lemmy , blogs, and more, it would be super nice if these would be all in one place.

I shared this idea long time ago in this exact community and got good feedback, I also see a lot of people keen on sharing their tips within this community too. So if you have some tips we would appreciate your for sharing it.

The website is built with the static site generator [Hugo][1] and hosted with Codeberg Pages, I assume most window manager users are rather familiar with git, so contributing to the site is just a fork and pull request away. Some little details still need to be ironed out but adding and editing guides is ready to go.

Thank you all for being part of this community, by the way are one member away from 300.

This community's purpose is to band together users, new users and soon to be users of different window managers and help each other out on Lemmy.

As of now I have been subscribing to respective release feeds and the likes to receive fresh updates and post them here, and also some beginner guides I have been brewing for some time now.

Feel free to post anything related and even barely related.

Not expecting this community to grow large as window managers are a comparatively a niche topic, but at least to keep it real and organic.

For any questions or ideas you can send me direct message.

CwC is an extensible Wayland compositor with dynamic window management based on wlroots. Highly influenced by awesome window manager, CwC uses Lua for its configuration and C plugins for extensions.


I've just tried this compositor and I'm quite impressed with how customizable is. People who are/were Awesome users should definitely check this one out.

Mango AUR packages have been renamed from mangowc and mangowc-git to mangowm and mangowm-git respectively.

I recommend checking your distribution's packaging of Mango.
