How Can I Get a Tiling System Like Hyprland on Linux Mint XFCE?

Asked by CuriousCat123
I'm really into having a beautiful tiling setup with my terminal, Firefox, and all that cool customization, but I just don't have the skills or time to dive deep into it. Is there a way to make Linux Mint feel or behave like Hyprland, or at least make it more keyboard-friendly? Also, I found out that i3 might be a simple option! Any suggestions?

Consider trying out IceWM on Mint! It offers some tiling features and is pretty user-friendly with lots of keyboard shortcuts, so you can customize without overwhelming yourself.

Hyprland can be installed on Mint, but keep in mind itโ€™s primarily designed for Wayland, and Mint typically runs on X11 by default. So, you might run into compatibility issues if you're thinking of switching.

You can definitely adjust some XFCE settings! Switch your window manager from xfwm to Hyprland directly. If you want to stick with your current setup, enable keyboard shortcuts for workspaces and window snapping to get that tiling feel without a full switch.
