Found this video interesting and wonder if there are any alternatives within Linux systems

    I don’t really have time to watch the video rn, so I’m not sure whether my reply really hits the mark, but what about window managers? you know, like sway and stuff.

      Is the main difference that it tiles instead of floats?

      Edit: oh it seems much more hotkey, terminal, and search focused watching than clicking. I think that is a much bigger difference than I originally expected.

        Yes, though traditional point-and-click GUI apps will also be rendered according to the same rules.

        However, a lot of fans of tiling window managers also use things like terminal-based file mangers, have relatively well developed Neovim configs, etc.

        So, it’s kind a whole THING that some folks really enjoy.

      I haven’t used that so you’ve given me something to read about :) I’m not sure I fully get it

      Highly recommend the video when you have time. I found its point really engaging
