I use dwm in my laptop, but previously used i3wm for a few years. I’m curious about:

  • How well EXWM performs nowadays?
  • Is it resource heavy compared to other tiling window managers?
  • Is it still an issue EXWM not being multi-threaded?

My daily tasks involves just opening chrome, telegram and/or slack, watching movies and coding of course. Would it be a good fit for my needs?

I’d love to know your thoughts if you use or have some previous experience with EXWM. Thank you in advance!

    Also curious, does it still hangs with ‘M-x gnus’ or any other time consuming command?

      Yes, you have to wait for it to be finished to move on. Mostly won’t take that long though. The pros outweigh this con for me in daily use. You can break with C-g if it takes too long.

        What are the pros that outweigh a single threaded DM? I love Emacs but something like sway on Wayland is a joy on modern HW.
