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.

I would need to go back to my old dwm config file but I think what you're looking for is this patch. In bspwm this is achieved with the "follow" option as shown in my example.
To restart dwm without login out and back in you'll need this in your .xinitrc:
Then whenever you kill dwm with
kill -HUP $(pidof -s dwm)it will actually be reloaded. Seems like there's also 2 patches to do that now (note that they both mention the above method as well).https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/restartsig/

@dream_weasel Did that help?
