> I also really like Windows 11 Same! With all the keyboards shortcuts, and "new" apps like Windows Terminal, the experience is just wonderful! Most of my apps are fullscreen, and Windows-Arrows to pin to specific quadrant on the screen is just as good as i3 and tiling wm. Also, there's software for everything you may even think about: just yesterday, I wanted an app to display pictures while keeping the same position zoom factor, to take bits and include them in a report. I found nomacs (free software), which is keyboard driven: my workflow became Alt-Tab, Win-Shift-S for snapshot, Alt-Tab again, Control-V, Alt-Tab and the arrow for moving between pictures. > Poor battery life, poor trackpad gesture support, and awfulness of both flatpaks and snaps are just a few of the issues It can happen on some Windows install, especially with newer hardware. But there're a lot of eyeballs on Windows, so getting a working solution is more likely.

Nomacs is about as cross-platform as it gets. Aero snap (or whatever Win+arrows is called now) is not a replacement for a tiling wm, and you being happy to finally have a _terminal_, of all things, is just sad.

  > Nomacs is about as cross-platform as it gets. Exactly. Most software is cross platform, and a few odd ones run only on Windows, so you get most software. > Aero snap (or whatever Win+arrows is called now) is not a replacement for a tiling wm For most cases, yes. Add that other shortcuts to have windows at specific coordinates and stripped of borders, and it's the same. > you being happy to finally have a _terminal_, of all things, is just sad lol https://github.com/csdvrx/cuteXterm https://github.com/csdvrx/cuteXterm
