logo larswm - Tiling Window Manager
- Because managing windows is the window manager's job! :)
larswm is a rewrite of 9wm that adds automatic tiling, virtual desktops and many more features to make it a highly productive user environment. Despite the high level of automation, it uses very little CPU time and memory while running.
