From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tiling window manager users: how exactly do you use yours?

Do you have advanced keybindings for bringing up frequently used programs?

Are there less common layouts you use frequently?

Do you use any advanced or fancy features?

sway with tabs (i usually dont use actual tiling)+4-5 workspaces

waybar for status display and on mobile also for menu access

rofi as the app launcher (i also plan to write a proper rofi menu for my phone for quick access to useful commands/config but it's heavily wip)

i patched sway for push to talk because wayland spec doesnt support keybindings in a way required for push to talk for now

i also plan to patch it on the phone to completely forbid fullscreen apps (as they hide the menu which i use for workspace/window switching) and show the window bar on all windows (for example, firefox extension/downloads popups)

I don't care much about rofi itself, I primarily like it for how powerful its scripting is compared to e.g. dmenu (css themes are nice to have too I guess)

And no, OnePlus 6
