is there even a point in having a tiling window manager, or any other fancy schmancy sort of desktop environment
it all takes a bunch of setup, and at the end of the day is there anything you can do with i3 or sway or hyprland or dwm or whatever the fuck, that you couldn't just do working from the terminal and using tmux?
and unlike your favorite window manager, tmux will always be there, requires minimal setup and just works
like between tmux and vim, why would i ever need anything else
need to search smth up on the web? just switch to a different workspace (which any run-of-the-mill DE can do) and open up firefox
what do i even get, for all that set up effort
different colors? fuck man
i feel like a GOD DAMN IDIOT

yeah
honestly, i dont get the appeal of the wms
lets say youre tiling your screen into 4 sections
but youre working on one thing at a time
with windows i can have a dozen things open at once and navigate em with the overview feature if not clicking on the windows titles themselves

I thought people got auto-tilers so that external shit they open through terminals (inc. muxers) would dynamically auto-tile
tried Hyprland but that kinda shit actually pissed me off, and a stacking WM that could manually tile felt better to flip through, even living in terminal

I know but I'm keeping the secret safe

the trick is using software with sane defaults rice if youre bored

god I really like GNOME's overview. wish other DEs had anything close to being as good.
