outra coisa, eu usei a maior parte do tempo linux com o maravilhoso i3 como window manager, não tem uma opção que seja exatamente igual a ele para o windows, mas o Komorebi chega bem perto, a configuração é bem parecida e to curtindo bastante - tem alguns problemas com algumas aplicações, mas funciona super bem com a maioria

Is there any good window managers for Windows?
Komorebi is rly nice

Is there any good window managers for Windows?
Komorebi is really good but read the docs as it's more functional, like on Linux.

First time ricing Windows 11 (GlazeWM, Zebar, fastfetch). Is Komorebi any better?
I love komorebi

Y'all don't know how good it feels for the left side of my brain to have something that runs and works and looks exactly the way I like.
I'm glad I found komorebi for Windows, because I was going insane over the default floating DWM. Now I need to try alacritty.

If you decide to stick with Windows: Check out komorebi, it's an awesome tiling window manager that makes Windows 1000x times more useable. Combine that with WSL and you could even use it as your main work OS this way <a href="https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi">github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi</a>

IT How much do you earn (share if it's not a secret)
Komorebi Window Manager — There's a few WM's out there that work on win11 but this one is good for me, it's simple and lightweight. I just need multiple window functionality and automatic tiling. This is huge for me because windows multiple desktop features are almost good but not good enough, sluggish and no automatic tiling.

Show HN: A Tiling Window Manager for Windows, Written in Janet
I've been using it for about 5 months with great success. I'm a Hyprland user when I'm on my personal machine, but for windows Komorebi has let me keep my muscle memory and workflow largely intact.
2025-05-20T18:01:47.299869Z
catppuccin is my new favorite theme i think
Komorebi! best tiling manager for windows, if you have 11 i recommend disabling the built in feature for tiling windows 11 comes with and using komorebi instead, way better
2025-05-20T17:46:19.386852Z
Would you believe me if I said this is windows?(arch wsl btw/arch diet)
Another Komorebi enjoyer in the wild. I use the default Komorebi bar tho, I think is enough to me.
2025-05-20T15:17:25.896237Z
linux sucks so I installed hyprland in Windows
I also use komorebi with no bar and with mouse follow focus. Perfect combo. Never felt like I'm missing linux.

I have been using komorebi for the past few days and I must say it is really amazing. I have used bug.n a long time ago, but I stopped using it as it was not actively maintained anymore and had a lot of issues. I was amazed to see how much more responsive and feature rich komorebi is.

Matt Kotsenas (@[email protected])
@LGUG2Z I'm still very much a newbie, so I don't think I've done anything that immediately jumps out or "wows" anyone yet. I'm also in a part of Microsoft that's much less homogeneous and runs a lot of container-based services, so folks are already more familiar with Linux in general.
No one has asked a "but why" type question yet, but I have gotten a couple of questions about how "integrated" it is. Meaning like how well does komorebi handle MDI apps like Office and Visual Studio, can you mix komorebi with built-in shortcuts, etc. (my answer there is so far really good but not 100% perfect. If I can figure out some repro cases I'll file bugs 🙃).
Since finding komorebi I've also adopted wpm and whkd, and am about to start playing around with kanata, so thank you for bringing this whole ecosystem together. But to answer your question more directly, I haven't been much of an evangelist yet since I'm still so new myself.

Since I'm currently using Windows a bit more outside of work, I thought it was a good time to finally set up Komorebi, the Tiling Window Manager for Windows. If the thought of using Windows fills you with dread—Komorebi is awesome enough to change your mind!
An intuitive configuration, the full bandwidth of wm functionality, and @LGUG2Z 's perfectly on-point introduction videos make it surprisingly easy to get into. Easily competes with comparable options for Linux.

Is it possible to make Windows 11 "look and feel" a bit like Pop OS, for those of us who can't convert our work PC's to Linux?
I've used komorebi and yasb as a tiling window manager and nice status bar on Win11. The features aren't the same, but it's better than default Windows.

Everforest / Didn't know this could be done on W11
Yes! I was using glazewm until 3 days ago actually when I finally gave up trying to get it to work with yasb and also making the top bar look good.
Switching was quite easy and all the shortcuts were the same and also configurable.
2025-05-12T03:50:49.273368Z
Windows can look really good with some effort
I think screens are configurable on komorebi but I'm not sure. Komorebi and glazewm for me were really similar but komorebi just seemed to work better with the top bar yasb.

Thank you so much. In my Linux DE, I use qtile and I was wondering if there is tiling wm similar to i3 or qtile in Windows. I tried several apps in my Windows OS and so far komorebi is the best. I think I'd stick with it going forward. BTW, I believe komorebi is the first program running in my computer, which is written in Rust :D Great job!

Can't wait to see where this goes, been dying to try Hyprland but I'm forced to use Win 11 for work and this, combined with an Arch WSL neovim setup, is the closest I've gotten to a workflow I actually enjoy. Hope we'll see manual tiling soon because I did try GlazeWM and while it's awesome in it's own right, I feel like Komorebi handles multiple displays better, heck, the only thing I'm really missing from Glaze is the little top bar.

Not gonna lie, this all looks like a giant PITA when all I wanted was to move windows to specific fancy zones with each having its own shortcuts.

Komorebi is actually what finally got me to switch to Arch with Awesome WM as my daily driver. That sounds like a negative, but it absolutely isn't. It was so good that I needed a native tiling manager. Thank you so much for putting me on this path. Still using it on my secondary computer and in VMs for when I need windows (surprisingly rare these days).

Hey, first of all I need to say that I absolutely love komorebi! I have been using it for few weeks already and everything works just perfectly.. There is only one thing I am currently struggling with.. And that is either decreasing the height of komorebi bar or making the background completely transparent.. I am sorry to bother you with such a trivial question but i just can't get it to work.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :)

rice rice baby episode 3 - everyone listened to my feedback, so many beautiful desktops
left windows awhile ago, but still stay subbed and watch because I love komorebi and when I was on windows, it was the closest thing to Hyprland there was. In many ways, it does a fantastic job of emphasizing the same things Hyprland does. It's biggest negative is Windows - but if I have to return to windows - komorebi will be one of my first installs, no exception. Cheers Jeezy, thanks for your hard work.

komorebi v0.1.35 - now with floating window controls and... limited edition floppy disk releases?
Floating workspaces and the upcoming toggle lock will be game changers.
I use Komorebi on my personal computer and normally end up having to pause it for University assignments because of my window workflow. Toggle lock will be perfect for that section of my days :)

komorebi v0.1.35 - now with floating window controls and... limited edition floppy disk releases?
Congratulations from china! finally komorebi has the floating window layer just like Glaze however glaze dont have window stack and auto tilling layers, glaze also has some bugs with floating windows, so i ve always use komorebic as my main wm and floating window layer works just like the final part of the puzzle, thanks for you and keep working on this beautiful programm!

5000 subs - thank you!
You are a really cool, relaxing, positive guy. I am glad I found someone like you on youtube. I was looking for a tiling manager, and now I do not like Windows anymore without Komorebi. It is not just a program, it is a package you give to us: the background music, the mood, the chill, the skills, the teaching of programming. And of course, we always have a great, great day with you. All the best.

You can't go back after you use komorebi or glaze

Windows 11 + Komorebi
Just to add, Komorebi is the one you want over GlazeWM if you want the most i3/dwm like experience on Windows. Same author also has whkd for shortcuts which is much better than AutoHotKey unless you have specific requirements.

Wow, this is the closest I've gotten to having i3 on not-Linux (even considering Fancy Zones/the built-in for Win11, and the MacOS tiling window managers I've tried).
After using i3, anything else for productivity just doesn't feel right for me, although I've made do. I'm excited to dig deeper into this and to make it work for me.

Komorebi: Tiling Window Management for Windows
Used to be a bit rougher around the edges but now most of my problems boil down to some niche app not being tiled every once in a while, which can always be fixed by contributing to the repo for application specific tiling rules. The docs are solid and it recently has received a small gui to test configurations and debug applications which dont play nicely.
It takes a bit longer to get configuration up to speed because its not exactly one single program. Hotkeys are facilitated by whkd or an Autohotkey script, but thats because its built to allow other programs like status bars and application specific keyboard daemons can integrate with it. But all that also makes it a good learning experience.
Not sure how to stick in this with the other points, but maintainer is really helpful with any problems.

i3wm inspired wm for Windows
I tried GlazeWM and it does what it says “technically” but there’s a lot of edge cases where it doesn’t and things just glitch out or don’t tile. Applications that don’t work well where you have to edit the configs per app etc. I settled on using Komorebi instead and it’s a lot more of “just works”, just run it and go.
2025-05-11T01:04:27.886119Z
PowerToys Run: extensible quick launcher for power users
Komorebi is quite good, although it has it quirks with some applications that spawn child processes.
Make sure to make yourself familiar with application specific configs, there's already a whole community-driven config for that [1]. But all in all it's very beginner friendly, since it does enable you to float windows still (and pause komorebi).

Komorebi: Tiling Window Management for Windows
I use komorebi on my computers and I rarely ever have more than 1 or 2 windows on any workspace open at once. However, to give the main reasons as to why I use Komorebi is:
1. I love the automatic tiling, even if I 99% of the time only use it to have 2 windows split. It's just such a nice feeling not having to tile windows each time you open them up.
2. It let's me set programs being tied to specific workspaces at launch, so I always get spotify and discord on the first workspace on my second monitor. Again, a nice qol feature.
3. I think komorebi's workspaces are more powerful than virtual desktops. In virtual desktops then you change the desktop for both monitors when you switch, with komorebi you only change one monitor at a time. Which allows me to for example keep a youtube video on my second monitor playing while switching between workspaces on my main monitor.
These are probably the main reasons, I mention most of that in my youtube video that got linked in the thread.

Show HN: Komorebi – A tiling window manager for Windows 10/11 written in Rust
Komorebi works pretty well. In the end, I felt like it's limitations were mostly at the OS level rather than the fault of the software itself (similar to tiling WM on MacOs). I think for such a thing to really work, virtual desktops need to be a first class feature of the desktop environment. For Windows/Mac, they're still kind of janky. Whereas on Linux, I can bind Win+Tab to "Previous Desktop", hold down the button, and watch the screen flick between almost as fast as the refresh rate of the monitor. It really makes a laptop, with a small screen and with no additional monitors, a high productivity environment. Which is too bad, because the REST of Linux really sucks for laptops, with all the hardware-specific tweaks needed.

@nikitonsky Dunno if that counts but i loved how simple komorebi by @LGUG2Z was, when i was on Windows. I was suprised how well it worked, while i was expecting some major issues - because Windows does Windows things - it was just super easy to set up, configure, integrate and use.
That got me really hyped!

2025-05-11T00:07:40.235786Z
@cdef.gay
Komorebi could be better in a few ways but the whole point of it is to do as little as it can to modify how windows works so it's understandable why it's nothing like tiling WMs on linux (hyprland, i3, etc.) But that is not to say it is still pretty similar and does a good job
2025-05-11T00:06:59.633323Z

Komorebi is one of the reasons I decided to stay on Windows btw. Tiling WM is a big plus, and I'm a big fan of it - it works - unlike many other tiling WMs. Very easy to configure, love the way you can config and since I tried contributing once (if you remember the cycling layout PR) - the way you were very welcoming and even suggested/committed edits, I was even more confident of using Komorebi.
I'm a huge fan of the product, thank you so much for building something for the community and even more gratitude for the efforts in continuing to iterate on the features/bugs. I look forward to helping you in whatever way I can :)
Thanks again for the shoutout!! Means a lot.

Why do Linux users say Windows has no Window Mapping?
Big Linux user but I've honestly had a better experience with Komorebi than some popular WMs in Linux. People love to speak in sweeping generalities but the truth is, if you want a pleasant WM experience in windows these days, it's not really much more complicated than the amount of config required to get the vast majority of Linux DEs / WMs running the way you'd like. Which is a win for those of us who regularly use Linux and Windows and want a more cohesive set up between the two.
Sure, I can pick a distro or de with the exact WM solution i want ready to roll - but with my current Lenovo laptop, every distro needs a number of hacky solutions to even get the speakers working (due to various kernel regressions). Getting that sorted each time takes longer than it now takes me to get Komorebi installed and configured on a clean debloated win 11, so this isn't a zero sum game by any means.
2025-05-10T23:23:50.918563Z

I feel like this should be illegal [Windows 11+Komorebi+YASB]
I'm running on a laptop with 16GB and i7-1360P. The status bar uses 0-1% CPU and about 30MB of memory. Komorebi is using 0-0.5% CPU and 17MB memory.
