In computing, the AMIga Window Manager (amiwm) is a 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 and though it hasn't been updated since 1998 the author has indicated he intends to keep up with any Amiga interface changes in the future, if any.
