From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Uh What's the difference?
If stacking is floating, I think I'd rather have that
If you're looking for a floating wm then Fluxbox might be your best bet. Otherwise I'd try i3. It's easy to configure and has a lot of documentation (it also features a floating mode I believe). If you're looking for something in python then I would recommend either awesomewm or Qtile (my fav). Qtile is a bit more difficult than awesome to configure though, but it has a better status bar.
My problem with qtile is it seems... just bad... The install instruction doesn't work, and it was just a pain to install
Welcome to 90% of WM's friend.
