You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for "just a second"...

I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.

I use syncthings.

Figs.

As an emacs user, have you considered org mode, with org-roam enabled? You can use source control to back it up or, use something like syncthings to move the files around.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for "security", so I would just 'sudo bash' which is obviously much safer /s.

N64 controller. It's insane, but I love it.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn't have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn't work
3. I don't change my setups that much, so I haven't tried it since
4. I don't need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

Thank you for your hard work. I am glade I support this instance.
