In their own words
awesome
awesome is a Linux window manager for X built as a configurable framework, not a complete desktop environment. It is aimed at power users, developers and others who want detailed control over their graphical environment. Lua provides its extension mechanism, while keyboard control covers all operations without a mouse. Windows can be assigned to one or more tags, with multiple tags visible at once; XRandR provides per-screen desktops for multihead setups. The manager implements EWMH, XDG Base Directory, XEmbed, Desktop Notification and System Tray standards, and supports D-Bus. Lua extensions cover dynamic tagging, widgets, tabs and layouts. Its maker says asynchronous XCB makes it less subject to latency than window managers based on Xlib. Packages are available for several Linux and BSD distributions. The listed latest stable release is version 4.3, dated 28 January 2019. The free software is licensed under GNU GPLv2.
