Seeing Windows on a Thinkpad feels weird. I better go back to Unixporn to feel better.
My thoughts exactly... Where are the tiling WMs?
Arch+sway my beloved
As an i3 guy for over a decade, sell me on sway? Just out of curiosity.
Sway is on wayland and wayland together with systemd is the best thing that ever happened to Linux.
/me throws a smoke bomb to the floor and runs away laughing.
i think the biggest argument against i3 is wayland. Past that i'm probably waiting for i3 2 electric boogaloo. It's such a good piece of software.
is a 99% compatible replacement for i3, just using Wayland instead of xorg. this means better multimonitor and u get some extra frames meow ^w^
i dont think it runs well with a nvidia gpu tho, so just aheads up for that meow
As an Arch + Hyprland Thinkpad user seeing a beautiful Thinkpad being ruined by Windows hurts. Free them from their Microsoft prison already.
I don’t even use windows anymore apart from my work laptop, where I can’t install stuff on my own anyway, but that still made me look up options for tiling window managers on windows rn. (Tiling windows managers amiright)
Maybe it's my age, but I've only ever known IBMs as DOS and Windows machines.
What about hackintosh on a thinkpad?
