Except the author uses i3.
If you enjoy the tiling window, with nearly everything driven by the keyboard way of working, then Mac OS can’t come close from a UI perspective.
- city41 7y agoReally no OS can. Tiling window managers are Linux's (and the BSDs) killer exclusive. I've been using Linux full time for 3 years now and it's been a struggle at times. i3 is the sole reason why.
- pjmlp 7y agoOberon used a tiling window manager, never found it that great experience. The other stuff that the OS featured was great and still missing on UNIX clones.
- uberduper 7y agoTry Spectacle on osx. I much prefer it over forced tiling WMs like i3. Been looking to replicate it on linux.
- dmitriid 7y agoAll the people I've seen who praise i3 and tiling managers seem to spend way more time finding the proper windows between dozens of tiles on half a dozen desktops than I do on a very minimal setup with Divvy on one desktop.
- least 7y agoIf you set up your workspaces for different modes, then this rarely becomes an issue. While some spaces I use are more flexible for their use, certain spaces are designated for specific tasks. I use a space for communication/chatting, a space for my music/email, a space for my calendar/task planning, etc. These don't deviate so for these common tasks it becomes second nature.
