Came here to say this

Cloudflare tunnel for anything web based

Useful one I find is the z program you can install it with package manager and it’s also included with zsh shell. It’s basically like a smart cd command. Instead of having to type the entire path for cd, when using z you can just type the destination folder and if it’s in your history it will resolve the path by itself.

I’ve been wanting to try qtile for a while and you seem like you know what you’re doing so my question is, is it possible to have rounded corners when using qtile?

You don’t really get my point though. I am fully on board with using keybinds and using the mouse as little as possible. I just mean why tile windows at all. I just can’t focus on anything other than one window if I need the other program I have a shortcut that brings it forward. I keep my eyes mostly in the same position this way.

Anyway this is just a matter of workflow that’s what it comes down to. I may just have to accept that it’s not for me.

I like having a big window open. What annoys me with tiles is that the center of my screen which is the most natural to look at is now just a intersection of the other screens so I have to move my eyes over it just feels uncomfortable.

I’m also a web dev and I have a similar workflow where each workspace has its purpose. Except I never tile anything. I do have shortcuts that switch to specific windows but I never tile anything. That way my eyes are always on the center of the screen.

I very rarely need to tile windows next to eachother. So rarely that I just don’t see the point in making it the main feature of my WM/DE.

Very interesting to read though. Thanks for the thorough example.

How big is your monitor that you can havel 5 windows open at once and you can still see everything sufficiently? Also whats a stacked WM?

At least they work.

I’ve always had issues with Linux that I’m happy to solve and capable of solving but a regular computer user would not know what to do.

What you’re saying is correct but all the things you’re describing are not 100% foolproof. Flatpaks are community maintained and can contain misconfigurations.

Also the sandboxed nature and all these foreign concepts for new users would have a user question why they’re not seeing their folders or why their cursor or theme doesn’t match their system.

These systems are great but they’re not nearly as polished as Windows and Mac.

It’s great for us but Linux has always struggled with any semblance of full polish. I think you’re overestimating the average computer user. Probably Ubuntu based distro’s are still as close as we got to an OS for the regular person.

The introduction of new concept could be mitigated by a proper system of introducing and explaining these to a new user but it’s difficult not to overwhelm them with info or keep them engaged and willing to learn.

TLDR;

True but it’s not that simple

Can you please share your bash prompt?

It probably requires a domain name if you want it to be publicly available. SMTP is not required. I’d recommend vaultwarden.
