Tiling window manager for Adventurers

LeftWM is a tiling window manager written in Rust that aims to be stable and performant. LeftWM is designed to do one thing and to do that one thing well be a window manager. LeftWM therefore follows the following mantra

  • LeftWM is not a compositor.
  • LeftWM is not a lock screen.
  • LeftWM is not a bar. But, there are lots of good bars out there. With themes, picking one is as simple as setting a symlink.
