I like visual simplicity. Other than the terminal, I usually maximize all of my windows. I’ve just gotten good at using alt-tab and win-# to quickly flip between windows as needed.

ruffsl@programming.dev 1 year agoWhat about a semi transparent terminal window? When I started out learning linux command line interfaces, it helped having the docs just behind my shell session for reference when all I had was a tiny old laptop. But now I don’t bother ricing up my DE anymore. I just want some default window tilling keybindings that work out of the box, and I’m good to go.

Have you tried multiple virtual desktops, or do you prefer to have a single alt-tab stack of windows? I love using a 3x3 grid of desktops, as the special zoning helps me to organize, separate, and spread out my multiple work tasks.

That sounds really complicated! My daily driver is Windows (I know, I know… I can’t give up my games), so I’m not sure that would even be possible for me.

Windows 11 (and 10?) supports multiple desktops. Only in the shape of a 1xN grid through, like a 1D array. Still handy for multitasking:
