Minimal configuration for Tiling Window Manager ❤️

What is Tiling Window Manger (TWM) ? 🤔

A tiling window manager is a type of window manager used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs) where windows
are tiled to fit onto the screen without any overlapping. Instead of allowing users to freely move and resize
windows, a tiling window manager automatically arranges them in a non-overlapping grid-like pattern, maximizing
the use of screen real estate.

Tiling window managers are often used by power users and developers who value efficiency and productivity, as
they provide a fast and streamlined way to manage windows and applications. Some popular examples of tiling
window managers include i3, Awesome, and Xmonad.
