Trying Awesome window manager on Ubuntu

December 12, 2021

code
sudo apt install -y awesome

# logout and login again, select 'awesome' on the login screen options
  • awesome is configured in Lua

UPDATE:

nevermind, i'll never use it. Because:

  • i'm VERYYY used to hitting the Super (Windows logo) key to start an app on Ubuntu. On macOS i do it by hitting alt+space. On awesome, i have no idea what it is. I'm not clicking through application menus to open something.
  • i don't think it's for active GUI users, it felt more like what a sysadmin would use for passive screens, the ones you just display but don't actively interact with
  • It's not a tool or extension, it's an entirely different display manager. what i really needed was something that could resize and tile windows (without me having to leave everything else i have already setup)
  • i had to Google how to logout
