[–] Gutless2615@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) I’ve been such a fan of the Pop_OS window tiling. By far the best implementation I’ve found permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] unix_joe@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Agreed. It's the best blend of keyboard driven window management and recognizing that users might also use the mouse from time to time. I got my wife to use and default to tiling with Pop!_OS. The only problem is Pop!_OS is a shitshow of dependencies being built on Ubuntu. I had an update last night that reinstalled snapd and LibreOffice and Firefox even though I intentionally uninstalled them in favor of the flatpaks.

IIRC, it was something to do with ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-release meta packages, which I never intentionaly installed. I'm probably the only person who uninstalls the Firefox and LibreOffice packages and replaces them with the flatpaks, but this seemed like an oversight and dependency hell that comes from using the derivative of a derivative distribution. permalink fedilink source parent
