I’ve stopped caring about being fast. In fact I’m certain my current setup is slower, more comfortable, and funner than any I’ve enjoyed before.

If you feel good and you’re enjoying your setup then that’s what matters.

I use a tiling window manager and copious number of workspaces. It helps with the feeling of claustrophobia if anything can be easily full-screened and swapped around easily.

A 64" monitor with floating windows now feels clunky to me compared to a 15" screen with tiling set up like I like it

Ah I didn’t read it like that at all. Going by the funny picture I took it as an excuse for a certain type of person who relishes taking their turn at the “oppression olympics.” I don’t really think we need to guess who this hypothetical asshole is educating about Irish oppression (which is real and who documented).

We used to pronounce UPDTE as “upditty” (this is a JCL reference. Be happy if you don’t get it)

That’s better than me, I was saying en-ginks

A joke around the stereotype of white people playing at oppression like it’s something to be proud of rather than an ugly wound that has never healed.

I didn’t see anyone talking about the treatment of the Irish, but by all means go off.

Only when it’s used as an excuse to shut down conversation of the historical and current impacts of the enslavement of other peoples.

why go backward?

I guess I hadn’t thought of it that way. Maybe I already have the wm experience that works for me, and I can just load up KDE when friends come over and I want to provide a more approachable UI for them.

I’ve heard this which made me assume it was like an option I can just enable, but every search has only come up with some baroque scripting or configuration guides, which seems like a lot more work than just using an actual tiling window manager.

E: Oh I get it now, you just install Krohnkite. This is a bit of an improvement, I will admit.

I’d place i3 and Sway deeper down the rabbit hole …

I mean they are, but my mind and fingers have been so twisted by vim that I can’t really interact with floating wms without feeling honestly pretty intense discomfort. I see people having fun with their cool Plasmas etc and I wish I could make the leap, but every time I try I just bristle at all the mouse use. The lack of control makes me feel like I’m trying to use a computer while wearing oven mittens.

I’m still stuck on i3 and sway. I hear there’s a version of KDE that is tiling…? But I haven’t found anything definitive on that.

Aww 🥲 yeah
