Wow, so much vitriol. I'm glad I don't like tiling window managers [x]. Sway seems well done, so I would use it and then be annoyed by the maintainer. Wayland, systemd, heck, that they removed ifconfig - these are all changes I understand and welcome from a technical POV, but that lose me as a user. The pinnacle of desktop linux was around 2009, afterwards usability seemed to regress. I'd love to use Linux, but currently I feel more comfortable on Mac or Windows. Doesn't help that leading projects on the linux desktop often have such abrasive developers. ---- [x] I tried them, but I found they are not really for me: - I need something that passes the coworker or girlfriend test: Other people should be able to sit down and use my computer. - Keyboard shortcuts don't actually make me faster. I find personally there is a lot of cognitive load trying to remember the keys to press, even after a lot of practice. I like to offload this to my eyes and arms, and use a mouse to e.g. arrange windows. That is the reason I gave up and now use arrow keys in VIM, and VS Code when possible.
