| Yeah, I've also achieved a degree of Zen about things like these. Like, I'm current on-boarding some guys onto linux workstations and linux administration, and honestly, there are many ways of holding the duck and in a lot of situations, most ways of holding the duck work equally well. I can show you two or three ways I found to work well to hold the duck, but it's still up to you to find your perfect duck rotation. Like, I use i3 as a tiling window manager. But if I'm honest, I don't really use the tiling that much. The most tiling I tend to use is having 2-3 shells eithes stacked as dishes or one tall and a stack of dishes next to each other. Otherwise it's usually a 50/50 split of screenspace of just a full screen window. I just can't focus on more at the same time anyway. The latter use case can be had by using gnome or KDE with about the same amount of key strokes. Tmux offers it equally well, as Kitty windows do. Personally I enjoy i3 on my workstation because a few key bindings and workflows have found their way into my lizard brain, but the newer guys relying on other window managers aren't much slower for most use cases tbh. Similar, I've used multiplexers, terminals with such features. Currently I'm experimenting with rofi and single-purpose named kitty-terminals to easily find or launch shell environments I need. But honestly, everything works with little difference in efficiency imo. It's more about finding something that clicks for you than doing the dogmatically correct thing. That's the wonderful thing about a linux desktop, and also it's biggest curse. |
