Yes, nice explanation. I also use tiling WM for the workspace organization. And I’m hooked. I stopped using i3wm about 2 years ago, just because I enjoy the comforts of a full DE now. I had my fun with Arch + i3 and Kali + i3.
Now I’m at that place where I want the comforts and seamless features that a full DE offers. So I moved to Gnome but I used Forge and other extensions to clone my previous tiling WM and workspace setups.
I have 9 works spaces and like Bryan said I press super key + 1 to 9 for
Chrome - 1, terminal - 2, Termius -3, Helix -4, file manager - 5, Gimp -6, Google Chat - 7 Spotify - 8 and 9 is misc (sometimes discord app)
They all remain open and in a fraction of a second as Bryan mentioned you can switch between full screen workspaces.
The only times I use tiling is if I’m following instructions in the web browser I will open a terminal window tile to the right. But only because I don’t have two displays. I use a single 32” 2k display which for me is the perfect resolution and size for tiling. Also if I’m working on multiple servers I’ll use tiling sometimes on workspace 2 or 3.
I can’t imagine using any OS without tiling WM.
@shybry747 can you find the link to that DT video?
