Just curious about what desktop environment/window manager you use. Do you guys prefer tiling WMs or desktop environments? Personally I use i3wm, but I might change it up.
Mostly unaltered Budgie.
I've played around with swayWM and awesomeWM but I don't have a functional reason to spend as much time as required editing config files.
I use GNOME because it's simple, looks good, and doesn't need much configuration. Text editors and terminal tabs usually give me enough tiling, and I could always use tmux if I really had to.
Same, but I run pop os, and it's cool that it has a gnome extension for tiling apps for the once every few months I use tiling due to a specific circumstance where tiling is nice for my workflow.
I used to run XMonad and bspwm, but now I'm gonna make the switch to Wayland, and try out sway and Wayfire, and maybe some of the more obscure ones like river or taiwins. If you're not wedded to XOrg, sway is a great drop-in replacement for i3 that runs on Wayland.
I love Wayland on my laptop and would definitely be using sway or river on my desktop if it weren’t for the fact that I have an Nvidia card.
Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about that. I actually have dual intel/nvidia in my laptop but I disabled the nvidia to save power.
I used to use a tiling WM (i3wm is great), but a couple years ago I simplified my workflow and switched to Openbox. Nowadays I alt-tab between 2-4 maximized windows (I do almost everything in Firefox and Emacs), and if I need two applications side by side I have a short-cut to snap the focused application to the left/right/top/bottom 50% of the screen, which is as much tiling as I ever need.
I go back and forth between GNOME and i3wm. i3wm works better when everything is configured right, but GNOME works nicely out of the box and is best if I am using monitors and such.
I spend most of my time in Gnome, but I do like to fool around in Herbstluftwm from time to time.
