Who needs a tiling WM when Tmux and a single open terminal is all you need?
This but unironically.

Since 2000 I used ratpoison-wm like this, and only really switched to i3 and subsequently sway because it seemed like ratpoison-wm wasn't going to fix an issue I had.

im at the point where if i need the terminal to perform some regular task i'll make it so i don't have to use the terminal to do that

So you want to be less efficient?

i have yet to not gain efficiency through this practice. ironically most of the benefits are at work when im on windows, where ive turned the process of opening a command window and typing stuff into dragging files onto batch scripts on my desktop

Yes, not using the command line in Windows is good. I think you wandered into the Linux thread in YOSPOS by mistake. Here is the correct thread you are looking for.

reiserfs has now been marked as obsolete in the linux kernel

which I guess it’ll be removed at some point

which is hilarious because if the filesystem’s namesake wasn’t a murderous psychopath, it would probably have had a chance to supersede ext2 and be the filesystem of choice. Except we now have xfs which is ok but it doesn’t do well with sudden unavailability of power

I used RFS4 way back in the day, and it was quite good. Better than EXT3. It's a shame about the murder. :smith:

XFS itself survives power interruptions just fine. Data in files might not, but anything that cares already uses a WAL.

Now back in ~2002 when XFS was introduced to kernel 2.4 yeah it would massacre your entire filesystem if you didn't shut down cleanly, but anything below 2.6 wasn't really Linux in any recognizably modern form.

I finally got a working 4k monitor and it's pretty nice. With text zoomed in it's a similar experience to using a 2k monitor but then I can zoom out and have way more on the screen with it still being legible.

My only complaint is that it turned out the kde tiling extension I was using (bismuth) has been abandoned in a state where it's like 95% functional and just doesn't always respond immediately to windows being closed and there's a PR to fix it but the developer doesn't care enough to merge it, but instead it's been replaced with a new one (polonium) using features of newer versions of kwin but of course the new one is currently buggier and less functional than the old one and the developer is basically saying "it's kwin's fault and also I don't have time to work on it right now"

OK then how about fixing the old one first instead :argh:
