Description

Xmonad is a free, tiling window manager for the X Window System and Linux systems. It is written and configured in Haskell programming language. It is designed to be minimal, lightweight, and highly configurable. Xmonad's goal is to maximize the use of the screen, by allowing the user to divide their workspace into multiple "tiles" and apply different layouts to each workspace. Xmonad is also highly customizable, allowing users to modify and extend configuration files to create their preferred system. Xmonad can be used with a variety of different tools, including dynamic menu systems, graphical user interfaces, and status bars. Xmonad also provides a number of features to improve the user experience, such as dynamic workspaces, virtual desktops, and a number of keyboard shortcuts.
