# Homage to twm

Used QEMU to set up an Arch Linux VM today for only one thing… To pay homage to
twm, “Tom's Window Manager” or “Tab Window Manager,” the most minimalist window
manager on Linux I know.

Screenshot I captured today:

Back in 2003 when I was unemployed, I had to sell my high-end PC to pay rent.
Went back to an old Pentium I, slow and low on resources, but it worked!
Surprisingly customisable, and even did some web dev with it. Thanks for helping
me get stuff done in those times!
