You are getting down voted but you are right. But if companies making software would support Linux natively this would make a huge difference too and that is not the case now

What I do is use distrobox or any devpod and install it in the container and launch from cli. Works perfectly for me.

Would you mind explaining novodb to me? As a developer how do I use it in my app? Is there an SDK you're supposed to use or can you just query the database directly?

Useful one I find is the z program you can install it with package manager and it's also included with zsh shell. It's basically like a smart cd command. Instead of having to type the entire path for cd, when using z you can just type the destination folder and if it's in your history it will resolve the path by itself.

I've been wanting to try qtile for a while and you seem like you know what you're doing so my question is, is it possible to have rounded corners when using qtile?

You don't really get my point though. I am fully on board with using keybinds and using the mouse as little as possible. I just mean why tile windows at all. I just can't focus on anything other than one window if I need the other program I have a shortcut that brings it forward. I keep my eyes mostly in the same position this way.

Anyway this is just a matter of workflow that's what it comes down to. I may just have to accept that it's not for me.

I like having a big window open. What annoys me with tiles is that the center of my screen which is the most natural to look at is now just a intersection of the other screens so I have to move my eyes over it just feels uncomfortable.

I'm also a web dev and I have a similar workflow where each workspace has its purpose. Except I never tile anything. I do have shortcuts that switch to specific windows but I never tile anything. That way my eyes are always on the center of the screen.

I very rarely need to tile windows next to eachother. So rarely that I just don't see the point in making it the main feature of my WM/DE.

Very interesting to read though. Thanks for the thorough example.

 

I feel like my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. I just have shortcuts to switch between programs.

Why do you prefer using a tiling WM and how do you use the tiling functionality in your workflow?

 

I usually try to stay out of the whole snap vs flatpak discussion. Although I am just really confused as to why flatpak just does not seem to care about usability. You're trying to create a universal packaging format I would think the point of it is that a user can just install an app and after reviewing permissions it should "just work".

There are so many issues that yes, have simple solutions, but why are these issues here in the first place.

These are the issues that I have encountered that annoy me:

  • Themes, cursors being inconsistent (needs to be fixed manually with flatpak --user override
  • IDE's are unusable without extensions

At least snap provides an option --classic to make the app work. Please explain to me why flatpak just evidently refuses to take this same approach.
