I love WMs but sometimes I wish there was also a fully featured WM (like a DE) for lazy people.

Because sometimes I can’t be bothered customizing the configs and I would just rather have a slightly more bloated setup but with faster customization and some features out of the box without to much researching.

But in my perspective, in terms of work flow WMs are just the way to compute efficiently.

Do you have any suggestions of projects that might be out there that do fill this niche?

  • When “reasonable” deviates on every major setting then it’s not possible to provide a sane default. Both i3 and hyprland have example configurations - I have yet to see two identical configs in the wild.

    You have it the other way around: it is aimed at people for whom there can’t be a sane default because of the highly individual wants.

    If you don’t intend to adjust your environment to your workflow that’s fine - there’s KDE and gnome for a reason.

    • It doesn’t matter if no one ends up with the same configuration. No one ends up with the same configurations on KDE or Gnome either. Having a reasonable starting place is courteous and doesn’t diminish the experience for those who wish to delete it immediately.

      But I guess it does serve some emotional needs for their communities. So I’m glad it’s there for those who need it.
