From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i3 here, mine is very different from the usual, I made it to use the left hand as much as possible:
How I launch commonly used programs:
If the program is already opened and I press the key it will focus on it instead of opening another window, to open another window for the browser I need to press Shift. (And yes I have some beef against programs that don't follow xdg base directory specs lol)
For navigation keys, I use esdf instead of wasd, I can also use the arrow keys:
I had to use an script for mod+a because i3 can't use the same keybind to focus parent and focus child (I use it like select all thing).
The default config of i3 has a resize mode, I got rid of all of that, it is much better to use mod+control to resize lol.
I also have the mouse side buttons to control media playback as well as making the window float with middleclick:
edit: lemmy can’t display && when I paste it as code lol
