Another thing in favor of a tiling WM (and a keyboard centric setup in general) on a netbook is that it is often more convenient to use a netbook without a mouse. I am happy to reduce my track pad use in general, especially hold-button-and-drag operations.
- silentbicycle 16y agoNo kidding! The trackpad on mine is too close to the spacebar, anyway. I just have it turned off (Fn-F7) most of the time. dwm + dmenu + emacs has me pretty much covered for mouseless usage. I was skeptical about netbooks, but saw a great deal on craigslist and decided to try one. With dwm, Emacs, and terminus, I have two 80x45 buffers, which is quite adequate. (I also bike nearly everywhere, and it weighs so little that I don't hesitate to carry it with me all the time.)
