TinyWM – A tiny window manager in around 50 lines of C

I use a mix of wmutils[0] and windowchef[1] and they're great, lots of little programs (some < 10 LoC) but also some cool stuff like mouse support and borders etc. I've only ever had trouble with JAVA apps which is a simple fix (_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1)

This is a screenshot of my Linux desktop [2], I use these on OpenBSD as well without too much issue.

Very clean screenshot.

How does your setup fare with GL/Vulkan, Chrome?

Found that one out after some digging, seems weird to me that AWT manages to screw this up, to this day, maybe I'll understand what cool trick they do which makes this a problem.

Portability is a major benefit of these little window managers, I even ran my dwm fork on Minix3 (on real hardware!), with some minor Make changes [0] as a bored teenager.
