    This thread is amazing. My own removedups:

    • Tried upgrading Ubuntu
    • Closed laptop while updating
    • I bork bootloaders with concerning regularity
    • While experimenting with writing a PKGBUILD for some personal scripts, ignored a warning having to do with a conflict on /bin. Blew away that symlink.

    snapper is good software i like snapper

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whatever works for you, but that sounds painful to me. Why is only using the center of the screen so important?

    I’ll clarify that I only use the more complicated layouts on my big monitor at home; when I am on a laptop it’s single window or side-by-side for the most part.

    Web dev here.

    • editor + web browser + devtools when working on frontend (workspace 3)
    • editor + tests + another terminal for whatever when working backend (workspace 2)
    • server terminal + lazydocker for both (workspace 1)
    • web browser with work related tabs + todo list + notes app on workspace 9
    • chat apps and email on workspace 10
    • long-running jobs and performance monitors on workspace 8
    • 4-7 are used for whatever
    • music on scratchpad

    Tiling (as well as stacking) make it manageable to have a bunch of windows open with a minimum of removedery. Sure I can only read one at a time, but when coding for example I’m rapidly switching between the code and the result. I can have a text editor, browser, and devtools accessible as fast as I can think, and I spend very little effort arranging windows.

    Also, a good tiling window manager replaces the need to learn a bunch of windowing features for other apps. My devtools open in a new window, I don’t use tmux or my terminal’s split features, and I generally have a bunch of browser instances open because my window management handles it all, better.
