You are getting down voted but you are right. But if companies making software would support Linux natively this would make a huge difference too and that is not the case now

What I do is use distrobox or any devpod and install it in the container and launch from cli. Works perfectly for me.

Fedora? 🙂

Useful one I find is the z program you can install it with package manager and it’s also included with zsh shell. It’s basically like a smart cd command. Instead of having to type the entire path for cd, when using z you can just type the destination folder and if it’s in your history it will resolve the path by itself.

You don’t really get my point though. I am fully on board with using keybinds and using the mouse as little as possible. I just mean why tile windows at all. I just can’t focus on anything other than one window if I need the other program I have a shortcut that brings it forward. I keep my eyes mostly in the same position this way.

Anyway this is just a matter of workflow that’s what it comes down to. I may just have to accept that it’s not for me.

I like having a big window open. What annoys me with tiles is that the center of my screen which is the most natural to look at is now just a intersection of the other screens so I have to move my eyes over it just feels uncomfortable.

I’m also a web dev and I have a similar workflow where each workspace has its purpose. Except I never tile anything. I do have shortcuts that switch to specific windows but I never tile anything. That way my eyes are always on the center of the screen.

I very rarely need to tile windows next to eachother. So rarely that I just don’t see the point in making it the main feature of my WM/DE.

Very interesting to read though. Thanks for the thorough example.

How big is your monitor that you can havel 5 windows open at once and you can still see everything sufficiently? Also whats a stacked WM?
