    Doesn’t really seem like they kinda thing that warrants an entire distro but ok.

    Have you tried it ? if so :
    1 does it have <alt+tab> …
    switching (between.available.windows) ?
    2 resizable +pannable windows ?
    or is it strictly tiling ?

      When you install it, you choose between different window managers. Depending on which window manager you choose, it will behave differently.

      I think, most of the available window managers have a shortcut for switching between windows (which might be a different shortcut than Alt+Tab).
      And I think, most have a mode for resizable+pannable windows (usually called “floating windows”).

      One window manager which does not have those, is DWM.

      (I have not used Axyl, but I have used some of those window managers on other distributions.)

        DWM has a patch for floating windows.

          Yeah, I kind of expected it would have that. 🙃

          I didn’t want to confuse @a_Ha@lemmy.ml even more, since I doubt they would dive in that deeply. Especially doesn’t make sense when DWM comes pre-installed with the distro, as you need to install it yourself to be able to patch it.

        yes, i believe we have to try it to really know more … maybe someone else will comment later on this post.

    I’m not convinced this will find much success.

    First of all, like @const_void@lemmy.ml said I’m not sure we need and entire distro for this.

    Second I think tiling managers require a lot of customization and it seems to me it would be rather complicated to package sensible defaults for those. Then why would you use a specific distro for tiling workspace managers if you need to spend time customizing it anyway?

    I mean what added value would a distro bring?
