    What does dwm do better than i3?

    Edit: Found its selling point (from https://dwm.suckless.org/):

    Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.

      • It’s faster to compile (to the point that it took less than a minute to compile on a vanilla Raspberry Pi 3B+).
      • It’s smaller (the source code tarball is only 26 kB in size).
      • It’s lighter (according to neofetch, if was only using 100 MB of RAM with only st open).
      • It looks a little different.
      • It just has a different “feel” to i3 and Sway.
      • Using it will earn you social clout in certain parts of the internet.
