Xmon

Xmon is a window manager for the X Window System. It is a tiling window manager, meaning that it automatically arranges windows in a non-overlapping manner on the screen. Xmon's design philosophy emphasizes keyboard-driven control and a minimalist approach, aiming to provide a highly efficient and unobtrusive window management experience.

Key features of Xmon include its extensive customization options, allowing users to tailor key bindings, layouts, and appearance to their preferences. It supports multiple workspaces, enabling users to organize their applications across different virtual screens. Xmon also offers features like window grouping, dynamic layout switching, and the ability to control nearly all aspects of the window manager through a command-line interface.

Installation of Xmon typically involves compiling from source code, which is common for many highly configurable Unix-like applications. Its target audience often includes users who prefer fine-grained control over their desktop environment and are comfortable with command-line configurations. Xmon is known for its stability and low resource usage, making it a popular choice for users with older hardware or those seeking a streamlined computing experience. It is part of a family of window managers that prioritize efficiency and user control, often appealing to developers and power users.
