Documentation and support

When you can’t tell if you’re coming or going.

Awesome closed its community-run wiki a few years ago. If you wish to engage with the user community, you can post questions to Stack Overflow, or use the /r/ awesomewm Subreddit. The project’s website also hosts a Recipes section which is home to several useful snippets and tutorials to get the most out of awesome.

Despite having been around for over two decades, there’s no official documentation on Enlightenment. The project also doesn’t host an official forum board or mailing list for users to interact with one another. Your only options are to either use the #e IRC channel to engage with user and developer community or rely on third-party forum boards such as LinuxQuestions.org.

The ICEWM website is home to plenty of documentation and also hosts man pages that provide additional useful information. The manual is split into different sections and covers every aspect of working with the window manager to control your workflow. The FAQ also serves as a quick introduction to the different concepts such as focus models. There’s very little dedicated information for the fvwm3 window manager, but the project still retains a lot of similarity with fvwm2, its predecessor. This means that you can use the thorough fvwm2 documentation, including FAQ, and detailed user manual, to master its usage. You can also use the official forums if you need to tap the user community for assistance.

The i3 user guide is certainly thorough and spans its usage, configuration and much more besides. You’ll also find instructions on how to configure the window manager to work with a multimonitor setup.
