I use dwm in my laptop, but previously used i3wm for a few years. I'm curious about:

  • How well EXWM performs nowadays?
  • Is it resource heavy compared to other tiling window managers?
  • Is it still an issue EXWM not being multi-threaded?

My daily tasks involves just opening chrome, telegram and/or slack, watching movies and coding of course. Would it be a good fit for my needs?

I'd love to know your thoughts if you use or have some previous experience with EXWM. Thank you in advance!

    Do you think if it is okay to open 2 emacs simultaneously (one with EXWM and one that runs within the EXWM)?

    What I mean is that if it will bring a lot of headaches, say, key bindings conflicts?

        Seconded (also you can use C-c C-k to quickly do this!). I’ve debugged Emacs startup errors and segfaults from within EXWM many times this way!
