> Do you use a tiling window manager?

I have been more than happy with xmonad, my current tiling window manager [1]. I have been wanting to give sway [2] with Wayland a go as well. I like using it due to the lack of distracting animation and having great keyboard support, allowing me to be more productive — or at least feel like I am.

Besides servers, I didn't really do much with Linux until a year ago or so. I ended up picking Arch after seeing Jon Gjengset's stream [3] and it having great documentation. Still, it was a bit of a surprise to be met with a blank screen after installation.
