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.

Don't fall for the tiling managers, I know they look pretty but they'll sink all your time and you'll never be satisfied. Trust me I've been there.
Personally I hate tiling, I just want those cool closing and opening animations
If you use KDE, look for the "TV Glitch [burn-my-windows]" opening and closing animation. It's a default setting in the KDE Settings > Workspace behavior > Desktop effects > Window open/close animation section. It's really good in my opinion, especially if you tinker with the open/close timing to make it a little more crisp.
I believe in hybrid models. Sometimes tiling is really nice, but what I really want is a better and customizable snap window management.
KDE has your back. You .mostly use regular windows but with meta+T you can configure tiles that can be used to snap windows to them using shift when dragging a window
Might have to try that out. Since installing Linux I've mostly run Gnome and I like it a lot so far.
I've only started out with Linux a few weeks ago and I liked gnome for the few weeks I've used it, but I'm liking KDE much more than gnome so far.
Oh I love that manual titling thingy. I wish I could save my window setups tho. Also an automatic tile option too.
Idk I love hyprland. Maybe it’s not for everyone but there is no harm trying :)
Didn't mean no offence. If it works for you, great! But personally I got too into customisations and missed a lot of work which was the whole actual point, " productivity" lol. But damn did my setup look slick that week.
Partially true.. I've been using i3 for roughly 8 years so setup and usage is pretty dang quick these days. I'd say it's worth it if tiling piques your interest.
Took me a few goes here and there but now I love my minimal tiling setup. Never really got it but just played with them here and there out of curiosity. Last time I tried it something clicked for me and now I've no desire to go back.
Ain't that the truth. But I love the workflow they offer. You don't have to go looking for new windows. You can easily pin applications to virtual desktops and I prefer the multihead model they use over the one used by gnome or KDE.
Unfortunately for my free time I really enjoy the endless customisation loop
Also tiling WM with virtual desktops makes one monitor feel like many, I often actively choose to use my hyprland laptop and trackpad instead of a triple monitor setup without tiling
