DoomWM is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

This is my current build that I personally use and dont plan on moving to other WM or DEs. And is based on the concept of "productivity over looks and bling". Sure It might not be the best looking or even working window manager or other wm but with this you will never need a mouse for your workflow, everything is perfectly useable when combined with the dotfiles I have.

Features

• Per-tag layout, gaps, master count, bar visibility, and master-size memory.
• Bottom status bar with plain numbered tag labels.
• Optional XEmbed system tray for apps like NetworkManager, bluetooth tools, KeepassXC, and other tray-aware programs.
• Scratchpad terminal, swallowing, extra layouts, and Xinerama support.

Requirements

Install these packages:

xbps-install libX11 libXft libXinerama libX11-devel libXft-devel libXinerama-devel

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (doomwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

No need to edit if you use VOIDLINUX

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install doomwm (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Running DoomWM

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start DoomWM using startx:

exec doomwm

This uses an autostart script from ~/.local/share/doomwm/autostart.sh, so make that file executable using chmod +x.

DoomWM executes the autostart scripts directly. Keep the #!/bin/sh line at the top of the script; background long-running commands inside the script with &.

Also, this works very well when used with my DoomDots DoomTerm config DoomMenu config and lastly my DoomStatus config
