wtftw is a tiling window manager for X11 written in Rust, inspired by xmonad. It is configured via a Rust config file and supports multiple monitors via Xinerama/xrandr.

Use cases

  • tiling window manager for linux
  • xmonad alternative written in rust
  • configure window manager in rust
  • manage multiple monitors with xrandr
  • lightweight keyboard-driven window manager

When to choose

  • you want an xmonad-like tiling WM but prefer Rust over Haskell
  • you want a lean core with layouts as extensions
  • you use X11 with multiple monitors

When to avoid

  • you need Wayland support
  • you want an actively developed project (last release 2021)
  • you prefer graphical configuration over editing Rust code
