I love having overlapping windows, I don't see what people see in tiling window managers, tbh

I guess how you organize your workspace just has to fit with how you work and how it makes sense to you

@quirk you can break the tiling and overlap.

tiling is like having a new assistant- at first you want them to do everything your way, and you wonder where they got their methods, and within a week its great to have all that placement done for you- you open a window, you know where it goes, you can put it where you want it to be to work with it, and all that business of placement and resizing is something you can put in the past, basically.

going back to stacking wm is so tedious- like why would i ever want to do this? but you can if you want.

@trdebunked it would be nice to have some of my windows auto-magically go to certain places sometimes, maybe I should look into how I can do that

Especially when I already use a script to open multiple windows at once

Thank you for your perspective!

@quirk a bad idea for a new window manager: actually overlapping wm where windows are slightly transparent and the click event bubbles through the top window down to all windows below it. Now you can click on two things at once!
