## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: operating-systems, developer-tools, cross-platform
