After years of i3/bspwm, I switched to Gnome. I felt I was faster and more productive with a TWM, but after having to use Gnome at work, I realized that was not the case. In fact, Gnome being a full desktop environment instead of something I threw together brought me more productivity.
- peterunold 3y agoI went through the same process. In the end I realised that I was only using tiling for terminal windows and tmux handles that better than i3.
- rubenbe 3y agoI tend to agree, gnome seems to be built with touch pad devices in mind. I like the convenient top-left hot corner to switch apps using a touchpad. I almost never use floating windows. When on the keyboard I can alt-tab or press the windows key to get the same overview quickly.
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoSimilar with me. I used it and loved it. But floating windows are sometimes really helpful (testing website sizes for instance). I switched to KDE for 2 years and now I'm on Mac OS. On both, KDE and Mac OS I use virtual desktops with ALT+# for switching between them. I also still use other i3 standard shortcuts in my current workflow (e.g. moving windows between desktops).
