* [dwm](http://dwm.suckless.org/) - Dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle and floating layouts. All of the layouts can be applied dynamically, optimising the environment for the application in use and the task performed.
284-
* [Enlightenment](http://www.enlightenment.org/) - Not just a window manager for X11 and others, but also a whole suite of libraries to help you create beautiful user interfaces with much less work than doing it the old fashioned way and fighting with traditional toolkits.

289-
* [JWM](http://www.joewing.net/projects/jwm/) - Lightweight window manager for X11. Written in C and uses only Xlib at a minimum. Good choice for older and/or less powerful systems, such as the Raspberry Pi, though it is perfectly capable of running on modern systems.
290-
* [Matchbox](https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/matchbox) - Base environment for X running on non-desktop embedded platforms such as handhelds, set-top boxes, kiosks and anything else for which screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited.

293-
* [ratpoison](http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/) - A simple window manager with no fat library dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no rodent dependence. It is largely modeled after GNU Screen which has done wonders in the virtual terminal market.
294-
* [Sawfish](http://sawfish.tuxfamily.org/) - An extensible window manager using Lisp-based scripting language. Its policy is very minimal compared to most window managers. Its aim is simply to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible.
