I've been using qtile as a replacement for hyprland for a few months now, and I don't have any complaints at all. It's an extremely functional piece of software, and at least for me it seems to be more stable than hyprland was.

It's so out of the way isn't it? I have to switch to using a Mac for work and I can't get the Aerospace filing window manager to work like Qtile does. It's a shame.

On that note, is there any good window management paradigm on MacOS? Tiling just doesn't seem to work well tacked on compared to full-fledged i3, and MacOS' seperation of applications from their windows makes multi-tasking a giant pain. Windows is miles ahead in this regard, and Linux of course offers options for every paradigm imaginable, so it leaves MacOS feeling particularly mediocre.

Aerospace is the best thing by far. I've tried Yabai, Rectangle and Yabai.

Nothing as good as even native Windows sadly. Heck, even replacing spotlight is a pain.

Is it? I've found Raycast to be one of the greatest boosts to my productivity of any app on any platform. Then again, I was doing fine with Rofi + i3 before.
