Distro isn’t important for tiling, just the window manager. I’d start with i3 personally, it’s been around a long time, which means the documentation is fairly plentiful.

I think Firefox will support both v2 and v3 extensions, so devs can use whichever makes more sense for their project. It has been a while since I looked into it though.

Arc for sure! It’s chromium based, unfortunately, but has unparalleled tab and workspace management, and is unfairly sleek and nice looking!

Other than that, Firefox is always nice, and Orion is interesting as well.

Honestly, Konsole is fantastic. On Gnome I use Blackbox, on Sway I use Foot, but if you’re on KDE you don’t really get better than Konsole.

Alacritty and Kitty are both terminals I used to use back when I was on i3wm, they’re perfectly usable, but I don’t think the average user will gain any tangible benefit from replacing Konsole.

This is true, has mpv started working with it? The reason I have it in the first place is to stream Lofi /synthwave/jazz audio via mpv rather than specifically for downloading. Back when I’d last looked, mpv needed the old fork specifically, but if they’ve updated I’d be more than happy to switch

Cli

• helix
• ranger
• mpv
• YouTube-dl
• epy
• fanficfare
• aria2
• zellij
• gotop

GUI

• qutebrowser
• zathura

If you want a tiling window manager, I’d also take a look at sway. In most regards, it works just like i3, so there’s a good amount of documentation available by proxy, but it uses Wayland instead of x11 (so probably don’t use it if you have an nvidia card)

Edit: ninja’d

Please do not take this as support of ai use of copyrighted works (I don’t), but as far as I can tell, yes we are machines. This rant is just me being aspie atm, so feel free to ignore it.

We are thinking machines programmed by our genetics, predispositions, experiences, and circumstances. A 2 part explanation of how humans are merely products of their circumstances was once put forward to me. The first part is that humans can do anything, but only the thing we want to do most.

For instance, a common rebuttal is that people can choose go to the gym even when they find the experience of exercise undesirable. However, when that happens, it’s merely a case of other wants out balancing the want to not go to the gym, typically they want to be fit.

We want to not spend money, but we want to not rush going to jail for stealing more, usually. We want to not work overtime, but sometimes we want the extra cash more than that.

The second part of the argument is that we can’t choose what we want. When someone talks themselves out of the slice of cheesecake, they aren’t changing what they want, they’re resolving said want against the larger want they have to lose weight.

And if we make decisions by our wants, while said wants are not decided by us, then despite appearances we are little more than complex automata.

Lol, I get that it’s a meme, but the way it expresses its sentiment makes me uncomfortable is all.

Orrrrrr…

If you aren’t feeling up to do it, just say so?

Like, communication would’ve been easier on both sides…

Theme: any Nordic dark theme Icons: Papirus, it just can’t be beat Cursor: Do people actually care enough to change it? They’re all kinda same-y

Heh, por que no los dos? I’ve got a MacBook, thinkpad and steam deck. Thinkpad runs pop os, steam deck is used as a small gaming desktop with the described setup (as well as krohnkite since I’m addicted to tiling)

I honestly think the best way to emulate Mac OS is by using KDE. Make a dock at the bottom, add a menu bar up top and add a system tray, choose an appropriate plasma theme and you’re done.

It’s a bit more complex on Firefox than the others I mentioned

1. There are a few possible extensions to add the sidebar tabs. This one is the one I use.
2. You need to edit the userChrome.css to remove the og tab bar. The top response here is quite helpful.
3. You want to enable the native title bar, as removing the original tab bar removes the window controls as well. The pictures in this guide are a bit outdated, but the instructions still work

A couple reasons:

• I really like having my tabs on the side, it just plays well with my vimium workflow
  • This largely narrows it down to Firefox, Vivaldi, Edge, Arc
• I like open source
  • Only Firefox remains

To second what others have said: VM’s aren’t suitable for gaming regrettably.

PopOS is a rather reliable distro, and I personally have loved the window tiling features they added, but it should be noted that they only have LTS from a year ago at the moment. I think that’s just while they work on their new desktop environment, but the older packages might be a tad bit of a transition coming from Arch.

I’m very aware, as they are the only burgers I eat 😉 But alas, chances are the pictures aren’t of veggie burgers

Even more of a dilemma if you’re veggie

I don’t believe NixOS prevents you from using the standard terminal commands or editing config files. It hooks you up with a different set of tools, ones which are better in some respects, but it doesn’t force you to use them.

nix-env -iA is there for a reason, they recognize that sometimes perfection is the enemy of good #^-#

On iOS, adblocking comes down to installing two apps:

• For youtube ads: Vinegar, it’s easily worth the two dollars.
• For other sites: Ka-Block, it’s free #^-^#

edit: On Smart TV, it’s a fair bit more difficult. For my Roku, I have an Invidious client called Playlet. It’s not nearly as full featured as the official app, but it’s the best I have right now.
