Why tile? (lemmy.world)

I feel like my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. I just have shortcuts to switch between programs.

Why do you prefer using a tiling WM and how do you use the tiling functionality in your workflow?

i don’t like it tbh. I prefer virtual desktops; I could see how a kiosk it might be helpful, where based on streaming data, a controller opens / closes tiles and the Wm makes it work.

For me, diff desktops for diff modes of use that auto start @ login & ability to hotkey across. This was a bigger deal when debugger and editor were separate and starting an app meant clicking and dragging the initial size (who has time for that). :)

Remember: empty RAM is wasted RAM!

"Empty RAM is wasted RAM" is only for operating system; for everyone else, it's "Empty RAM is filesystem cache".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
