IceWM is great. I think there are a lot of great deployments you could use it for. If you had old computers to give to kids and teach them linux for example, IceWM would be a really great desktop for that. I use dwm still personally but Ice is Nice, and that's for sure! ;)

I tried tiling managers too but I always found them awkward.

My favourite WM still is fluxbox though it died, so I am using IceWM. I'd wish configuring it would be easier and more logical; it was never a problem to configure fluxbox, but configuring IceWM is a headstopper. Removing all workspaces I have not managed to achieve, for instance; it simply does not work here.

Fluxbox has started seeing more activity recently[1] and one of my first "let's see what this claude code thing is all about" projects was making Fluxbox for Wayland[2].

> Removing all workspaces I have not managed to achieve

That seems like an actual bug! I just tried it, and could only get to a minimum of 2 workspaces, by setting (on ~/.config/icewm/prefoverride , or globally /etc/icewm/prefoverride)

  WorkspaceNames=" 1", " 2"
But a single workspace doesn't seem to work. That said, you can just unset the shortcuts for workspace switching.
