Switching over to a tiling windows manager has been really enjoyable. It feels like a futuristic paradigm shift
Happen to know anything about how windowed games work with a tiling manager? I often stream a buddy's Elden Ring gameplay while playing myself, but having only one screen means I have to have the Discord popout in the top corner and the gameplay in windowed.
I haven't tried that exact set up myself but in hyprland the default tiling would have your Elden Ring on one half and your friends the other half. Then if you opened up discord it would split one of the halves in half again. If you wanted to have discord instead floating and over top of the stream you could do that, or send it to the next "desktop" over if you don't need to see it. You can customize each of the tiles however you like, border or no border, you can move them around..
