    Prime nailed the whole reason I use i3 as well - I love how quickly I can just jump to exactly the thing I want to be at. There's never the question of "Oh, where is that window again?" because the answer is "It's exactly where I decided that thing should live" and "I can get there with one combo". Even on the worst kinds of days, I can use rofi to find any window that has somehow gone missing.

I used to compile my own kernel, jre, and also compile my own apache server on a 2009 computer hardware. That would take about 4 days of compiling. Absolutely nutz.

    I really need to learn how to use tmux effectively. My solution so far is to alias things to directories that I go to often. So like cdw goes to work, cds goes to scratch, cdp goes to my personal projects, etc. This has worked okay, but it does become a pain when dealing with files that are across different directories and having to constantly jump there instead of having multiple tmux terminals open at a time.

It actually quite recently made me switch to sway, which is a good experience for the most part, but now I suddenly have issues with my second hidpi display randomly blinking black now and again, which is honestly a worse experience than screen tearing sometimes, I think, I'm not sure yet. Screen tearing is gone though and scaling feels so much better on wayland, makes using a hidpi display more comfortable.

    I've used all the popular window managers and I think my favorite was bspwm and skhxd on Linux. Got a Mac recently. Learned about Yabai + skhd which basically mirrors bspwm + skhd. Now, I can do basically everything in Mac that I loved about Linux, with nearly the same configuration so the transition is pretty much seamless.

    I switched to Linux, because I found unable to force myself to continue using Windows. However I'm still fascinated by all the computer human interactions that are possible with window managers. (workspaces, window rules, vertical bars, hiding title bars, user customizable keybinds for everything & to a lesser extent tiling)
    I don't think I could go back, even if Microsoft decided to fix everything I had a problem with.
    So yeah, I think wanting a good WM is a decent enough reason already..

      I've tried WM on macOS but all the but many mac apps have fixed layouts (settings app etc..) you can't remove the annoying title-bars, nothing feel like it's streamlined tons of visual artifacts, the whole DE is running in the background wasting resources. It feels like a mess and I dislike it. Persoanlly I like the idea of only having the software I'm actually using running, keeping it simple, no settings panels etc, simple + clean config files, on my linux. However, take this will a grain of salt as I've only had around 20-30 hours on the macOS side as it was my friends computer, and I've never actually used any other operating systems other than BSD's and GNU/Linux.

    I did a Gentoo install and several Arch installs.
    I just use endeavourOS for my ThinkPad now cause AUR and all that good stuff, great mobile computing platform. I do like Debian as a base for docker containers or VMs that I don't really intend to upgrade often. I have a home server running AlmaLinux cause it's RHEL compatible but that's it. My PC still runs Windows cause it's too weak to justify running Linux with Windows VM, and I do sadly still need Windows from time to time, otherwise I'd probably run endeavourOS or maybe nixOS.

    I use Linux and macOS on my main machines (and Windows on gaming and extra machines). I totally get his "needs to be Unix" position! I can't imagine working from Windows! As for preference, I'm totally with him on i3 or a WM that follows that style of "workspace means function". I prefer macOS overall for its stability and UI consistency, and I've tried multiple ways of setting up the same experience on macOS. Yabai is nice but not perfect, but I'd recommend it (along with skhd and maybe sketchybar) for those interested in that kind of workflow… :)

Gentoo is worth it for learning, or customization, like custom initramfs, custom encryption setup, custom kernel etc. if it isn't your thing it means it isn't worth it *for you,* not that it has zero worth altogether.

But when it comes to personal usage, I prefer macOS, being unix based, I can do basically all the things I could with a linux box, with the added benefit, that I know is never going to break, and I've never have to dealt with drivers or hardware compatibility issues.
      Yabai is a key player here, so if someone comes from advanced Linux window managers, they definitely need to try Yabai, the rest of macOS window managers are not as feature rich and customizable.
      I'm not saying that Linux breaks, but I don't want to through the process of figuring stuff out in the extremely rare event that it does.

      It was funny and scary at the same time! I couldn't get at my own web sites.
      P.S. I moved all my websites off cloudflare and akamai. They have a hidden agenda to create a internet membership. People are going to eventually have to pay to get their IPs unblocked. I think I witnessed the testing bed. I used to be a U.S.P.S. intrusion detection guy. It came full circle. If you run wget or anything downloader to get files, then they're looking at you. It made me get more involved with selenium again. I don't webscrape, but it made me aware of how akamai and cloudflare work and mis-diagnose their problems.

    what feels good is auto opening a tmux session in every folder where you work so that if your GUI crashes, you don't lose work
    what feels even better is microtweaking, debugging and stress testing every single part of your fully open source GUI and graphics driver so that it never crashes again and runs perfectly stable for months at a time without any reboot or reset.. just AMD on Linux things.

      @@deidyomegaoh what i was mainly referring to is the feature of tmux that makes your *terminal Bash session* stay running after your display server crashes and allows you to reconnect to them after restarting the display server. Primeagen's code at 4:09 reveals that he makes use of this feature to check for running tmux sessions, and later in the video it sounds like he reveals that the system he runs that code on has "470" as in NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470, so this all gives away that his display server has crashed and closed all his Bash windows before. After using NVIDIA for 8 years and using tmux for the exact same purpose, switching entirely to AMD has enabled me to implement the alternative of the display server just being actually stable and not crashing due to the open source nature of AMD graphics driver.
