Them: I'm sick of running the man's OSes, I'm going to try Linux!
Me: Great! I'd recommend running KDE on Fedora, it should give you a smooth and stable experience with no surprises.
Them: No, I'm going to use Xmonad! [substitute any tiling WM with a hardcore reputation, but it's usually Xmonad]
Me: That's a terrible idea, it's decades outdated and you'll spend all your time scripting custom OS interactions for the most basic things instead of just getting shit done on your computer.
Them: I'M USING XMONAD!
…time passes…
Them: After much first hand experience, I have come to the conclusion that Linux isn't ready for the desktop. I don't know how you nerds live like that.
A story as old as time.
@bodil Is there a tiling wm that isn't decades outdated? My personal experience is that I love tiling, but I would also enjoy not scripting custom OS interactions for basic things :3
@SaberaMesia @bodil
#cosmicde is a very promising DE which have tiling support. It is currently in Alpha , but should reach beta soon if I understand things correct. So even it it isn't fully ready yet, I can recommend to try it out.
