In computing, the AMIga Window Manager (amiwm) is a stacking window manager for the X Window System.
Amwim was written by Marcus Comstedt. "The purpose of amiwm is to make life more pleasant for Amiga-freaks like myself who has/wants to use UNIX workstations once in a while."
Amiwm emulates the Amiga Workbench screen. The author has indicated that he intends to keep up with any Amiga interface changes in the future.[citation needed]
In 2000, TuxRadar selected Amiwm as one of the year's best window managers[1]
