For a keyboard based window manager I recommend i3, Sway. or Qtile. You will never have use the mouse again for navigating windows. You can use bumblebee status to rice your i3 status bar.

For remapping keys I used input-remapper when I came from macOS to Linux.

Thanks! That looks exactly like what I was looking for. I hope it works as promising as it looks :)

About the status bar I want to suggest Tint2 because it is relatively easy to setup. You can create new widgets by writing an “executor” in bash. This is how I display the window name in my Tint2 panel.

execp_command = xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowname

There are more advanced executor examples here. github.com/IanLeCorbeau/tint2-executors/…/master

The other suggestions are also nice, maybe more featured, but Tint2 was just less intimidating for me.

That looks promising, especially since my current status bar is also just a collection of shell scripts, so that might be easier to switch

When compared to GNOME, it seems fine.

But so does Windows when compared to M*cOS

I forgot one essential tool, where I need a recommendation for: spotlight. I use it to switch quickly between applications or to folders. Keyboard shortcut, first letter of the application name and enter… I know there are solutions, but I only heard from Ubuntu, which I don’t want. Anything simple and fast you can recommend?

@cloudwanderer rofi as a window switcher, in KDE default runner has window switching.

    I feel this is a representation of 2 sides of one coin or rather that thees two have similar objective but go about trying to reach it in their own very different ways, one is violent and the other is peaceful all tough they might not necessarily agree with one or the other’s way of reaching the end goal, they agree on the goal with is saving earth and the environment.

    What DE are you using? As very little provide vertical bars and for my UWQHD that would be good.

    Not a desktop environment, Hyprland. The bar is a custom Waybar.

    If you want to go really minimal you could use alpine Linux with dwl as a window compositor and st ans your terminal emulator

    I currently run arch with kitty and hyprland but I’m thinking about switching back to Novara and arch in a distrobox or going with bedrock Linux with arch and nobara as a daily driver

    i3 is pretty easy to configure, IMO.

    Especially compared to other WMs.
