Hiya! I’m Wiikifox! 2D/3D artist, game and software developer, and maybe something else I forgot to say.

dwm has a tiling layout in any case, and most TWMs do too, so there’s no real reason to leave your TWM, even if you need/want foating windows.
I think they’re talking about the tandem of tiling and workspaces, as usually you can customize your tiling per-workspace. Some TWMs have tags instead of workspaces, making it even better.
No recomendaría Manjaro ni la mayoría de los forks de Arch. Y pudieras agregar a la lista Debian Sid, aunque técnicamente no es una rolling release.
Not a Fedora user, but I’m pretty sure that rpm is for Fedora like dpkg is for Debian. AIW?
I’m a Spanish speaker, and what I did was using sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and assigned the right Alt key as the “compose” key: after pressing it I can press two characters I want to combine and it writes them out to the text output. I.e: to type á is Compose+'+a, to type ç is Compose+;+a, and so. That way I can use my US layout without losing special characters of ANY language
The pet won’t stop being a Chameleon, just suffering a redesign
As long as the site isn’t compromised and you don’t break your dependencies in the process, yeah of course 👍
I’m not asking for a distro made specifically for servers. I’m asking for a distro that fits what I specified in the post body. Most people here said Debian, and I’m probably going with that as it’s my daily driver anyways.
I haven’t tried Photoshop, but all the Windows apps I’ve used in Linux (mostly games) run seamlessly. Probably you can find a YouTube tutorial for configuring wine for your needs
I use wine most of the time. In extreme cases qemu will do it.
I was scared to install Linux as a daily driver at first. Then Windows Update screwed up my install and I said “Screw it, I’m not installing Windows again”. Basically Windows took the decision to uninstall it for me :)
For the end user, especially a beginner, there’s 0 difference between them.
Shouldn’t be the other way around? Beginners usually won’t want to install DE’s or other stuff by hand:
Linux Mint offers a Windows-like experience with cinnamon out of the box, and has several stuff setup by default like system snapshots and media codecs.
Pop!_OS is really appealing visually and very comfortable to use and setup.
Ubuntu, well, is Ubuntu. I’m not diving into it.
rPis for me aren’t an option as there’s no way to buy one here, first hand at least. And the electricity isn’t really an issue as I pay it by estimates.
Also must say the server only purpose is to run long tasks without occupying my daily use PC. I don’t have Ethernet internet either, so I can only put it online sharing connection with my laptop or with a (future) wireless expansion.
I use a bare git repo in .dotfiles/ that uses the home folder as a working tree, configured the repository to ignore untracked files, and then just add my dotfiles if there’s a change.
To setup working dirs I aliased that to dtf
Seamless transition from X to Wayland
Not technically a DE, but for productivity and full customization I use DWM (DWL is available for Wayland). It is super easy to use, keyboard centric and can be modified to behave exactly the way you want, as long as you patch it.
Looking good 👍 I recommend you to try out qutebrowser, it fits like a ring in the DWM workflow!!
st. It just works. I’m always opening and closing terminals, and 90% of the stuff I use have’s a TUI. st launches before I can even notice, under 4GB of RAM, and the entire install is less than a MiB.
