Notion is a tiling, tabbed window manager for the X window system: Tiling: you divide the screen into non-overlapping 'tiles'. Every window occupies one tile, and is maximized to it Tabbing: a tile may contain multiple windows - they will be 'tabbed' Static: most tiled window managers are 'dynamic', meaning they automatically resize and move around tiles as windows appear and disappear. Notion, by contrast, does not automatically change the tiling. You're in control.
