From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I want to have my screen (the "dev" workspace) split in three "zones":

  • on the left side, a tabbed group with all the text editors I start (ie. if I start a new one, it goes there in a new tab)
  • on the top-right, a tabbed group of whatever many terminal I feel like launching
  • on the bottom-right, my browsers (and possibly other stuff), in a group without tabs
  • a key combination to cycle between: all three "zones" visible, text editors on the left - terminal on the right, text editors on the left - browser on the right, fullscreen browser

So far I've been looking at hyprland (for no particular reason except the hype) and I don't think I can do the above with it (I am by no means an expert, so... maybe it can actually be done?).

Do you know of any WM where it would be possible? (possibly, one with automatic splitting a-la bspwm, that I would use for the other workspaces)

Sorry I derailed from the topic, but afaik, you can use either generators like rivertiler (herbsluft-inspired) or rivercarro (default generator) for riverwm. In fact, rivertiler also provides you with the necessary libraries to create your own layout generator. Maybe you're looking for riverwm-spiral-extended?
