Over on Mastodon, I said :

Two reasons that I'm unlikely to like tiling window managers are that I like empty space (and lack of clutter) on my desktop and I don't like too-large windows. Filling all the space with windows of some size is thus very much not what I want, and I definitely have preferred sizes and shapes for my common windows.

On the one hand, I've already written an entry on my views on tiling window managers . On the other hand, I don't think I've ever managed to state them so succinctly, and I find myself not wanting to just leave that lost in the depths of Mastodon.

(Looking back at that entry caused me to re-read its comments and realize that they may be where I found out about Cinnamon's keybindings for tiling windows, which would answer a parenthetical mystery .)
