    Absolutely perfect. I was traveling with a friend and we decided to watch a movie I had on my hard drive. Once I booted into i3 and I had to use a couple key chords to navigate, they said, “Your computer gives me anxiety.” 😂

    Same person almost shit their pants when I replaced youtu.be with yewtu.be in a URL to get a region locked video to play. I am a bonafide hacker in their eyes.

    Ok, so I happen to be the paragon of security through obscurity.

    1. Linux
    2. Sway
    3. Dvorak layout
    4. Mechanical keyboard c̄ blank keycaps

    Come at me bruh

      Wouldn’t that be something that makes you manually tile your windows? Or are you making fun of i3 for not properly placing tiling windows to split the active one in half along the longer side?

    This is like me when I try to use my wife’s iPhone. Where are the buttons? How do I exit the app?

    Sway is fine. I still prefer i3 because I still use many X applications.

    Now for this meme specifically, sway and i3wm are actually easy to understand once you know the basic key chords. Sway in particular can also allow drag and drop to tile manually without shortcuts.

    Dwm though is a nightmare for Linux beginners let alone those who never use Linux before. I3 needs a .config file, so newbies can read it and figure out the key bindings. On Dwm? It doesnt need one because the system can just run the compiled dwm executable. So if you really want to make it more secure: configure dwm to your likings => compile it => delete the source folder. Nobody will know wtf is going on, except you.

    multi step authentication flows that are customizable for each user would be kinda cool if that doesn’t exist already.

    not too crazy like two factor authentication, just patterns or puzzles to arrange in different ways.

    so every time someone tries to access an account, the authentication process is different every time

      It opens up a page of my handwriting and it must be translated in order to unlock the computer. Even the most powerful linguist in the world couldn’t crack it.

    Joke aside, it’ll only work implying that they have to use the same computer. Anyone tech savvy enough will know that it’s trivial to put an unencrypted drive in another machine and read it.

    I was an i3 and sway user but I lapsed to the dark side.

    I tried KDE with Krohnkite tilling extension on a new laptop and liked it way too much. It’s slowly becoming my main DE.

    It’s configured with i3 shortcuts of course, so there’s that.

      I’ve been wanting to do that

      (i3 user here with dynamic composition of config file based on content of my “dotfiles” repo acroos my devices, and deciding some parts of it (like screen config) by the localhost name).

      Can you tell me more about your experience? KDE ds indeed sexy. Calibre, okular and kde-connect sure are).

        Well that was my main motivation to try KDE, everything is working fine out of the box and is highly configurable/rice-able.

        It just needed that tiling wm love. So far I have nothing really bad to say about this configuration. You can have a very i3 feeling by adding gaps, rounded corners, removing title bars, have transparency or blur etc. Or you can do a mix of both worlds to make it easier for the rest of your household (example, having title bars makes the windows movable by mouse. I kept them for my significant other, she hates not being able to choose the windows size but it makes it easier for her to watch YouTube…)

        Keyboard shortcuts are configured in kde settings, so there will be conflicts at first between “normal kde” binds and tilling plugin binds, but nothing impossible to change.

        I haven’t seen any bugs, my dual screen is working great. I have yet to finish my personalization but I’m at about 80% and it as become my daily driver for working.

        I am not certain about your different config by localhost as I now sync the dotfiles and packages across the two pc (laptop + mini pc) which are the same hardware and so, exact same look and feels. When not in laptop mode they share the same dual screens so it makes sense to me.

        The only downside I see is that it relies on a community GitHub. The one I linked is the only one I found to be updated. There are plenty of forks or similar projects not updated since 2022.

        So unless KDE officially does it one day (and does it well), we have to use community plugins and hope that they stay updated.

          So, just with the keyboard, can you:

          • move focus across windows
          • move windows
          • resize windows
          • run any program?

          Also, do you have the “tabs, stack, columns, rows” layouts?

            Yes to all. Programs are run from whatever launcher you want to use, default KDE or another one.

            Default Key Bindings

            Key Action
            Meta + . Focus Next
            Meta + , Focus Previous
            Meta + J Focus Down
            Meta + K Focus Up
            Meta + H Focus Left
            Meta + L Focus Right
            Meta + Shift + J Move Down/Next
            Meta + Shift + K Move Up/Previous
            Meta + Shift + H Move Left
            Meta + Shift + L Move Right
            Meta + I Increase
            Meta + D Decrease
            Meta + F Toggle Floating
            Meta + \ Next Layout
            Meta + | Previous Layout
            Meta + Return Set as Master
            Meta + T Use Tile Layout
            Meta + M Use Monocle Layout
            unbound Use Spread Layout
            unbound Use Stair Layout

    Tried this once, sort of. But it was in wmii. I switched workspace, and then my friend wanted the browser, so I say go ahead. He presses the little 2 down in the corner, I did not even know it was clickable, and that happens to be the workspace with the browser.
