Tiling window managers create efficient, distraction-free workspaces that are particularly well-suited for coding, writing, and scientific research. Unlike traditional desktop environments where windows overlap, a tiling window manager arranges windows in non-overlapping frames—maximizing screen space and minimizing the need for a mouse. In this post, I’ll describe my personal setup, the reasoning behind it, and the tools that make my workflow fast, minimal, and enjoyable.
Introduction
There are many ways to set up a work environment, and ultimately, everyone needs to find what fits their workflow best. You can choose between operating systems — macOS, Windows, or Linux — and, within each, there are countless window managers, editors, and toolchains to explore. This post isn’t about convincing you which system is “best”. Instead, I’ll walk through the setup that helps me stay productive, organized, and visually content.
