IMPORTANT

lambda is barely functional right now, and will be in this state for quite a bit (few weeks maybe), this section will be removed when it is stable and ready for regular usage.

Info

lambda is an X11 tiling window manager built in the spirit of XMonad, and DWM. I want to create lambda to improve on XMonad and DWM and learn about the X protocol at the same time.

Q&A

Q: "Why aren't you using wayland? X11 is old and crappy"
A: You are correct, X11 is old and hasn't improved much since a decade ago, however in the end there are many small problems in wayland (especially with nvidia) that make it inconvenient to switch to creating a wayland compositor. (see https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277 for more info)

Q: "Where is the ___ implementation?"
A: If lambda is missing a feature (and isn't on the TODO list below) and you deem it important, create an issue and tell me what you would like.

Features (All will be implemented at some point)

  • Keybinding System
  • EWMH/ICCM (No plans for this YET)
  • Window Tiling
  • r/unixporn Compatible (Lacking decoration/gaps)
  • IPC
  • Docks/Bars/Strut support
  • Wiki/Guide
  • Screenshots

Active bugs (Check means fixed)

  • Upon starting alacritty/neofetch, around 5-10 blank windows spawn
  • Ghost windows overall

Configuration

Configuration guide will be on the wiki which will be created when lambda is stable.
