The road to tiles
I’ve been using linux for many years now and every few years I get the urge to switch from GNOME to a tiling window manager. But every time I was tempted to make the switch, I ran into the same problem: the learning curve was just too steep. I don’t want to spend hours configuring my system just to get it to a usable state. I treat my computer as a tool, not a hobby project. Its one of the reasons I’ve been using ubuntu lts versions as my primary distro for so long. It mostly just works out of the box, it gives me the least headaches with my multi monitor setup and it has enough market share that most software vendors provide deb packages for it. I’ve used many other distros over the years, I used to be a huge Centos fan (until version 8). I’ve dabbled with Fedora years ago but I had issues with multi monitor setups back then. But lately there’s been another itch. Possibly created by all the Omarchy publicity by DHH discovering that linux is actually great. And since I’ve just gotten a new 4tb drive it kinda felt like maybe its the right time to try something new. And thats where the adventure starts… ...
