    I’m using tiling WM mostly to have shortcuts and more controls about window switching but I rarely have multiple windows visible at once, but when I do - tiling is more convenient. When it doesn’t - you can always make that particular window floating.


    • xmonad - tiling wm because I’m too lazy to place windows by hands
    • firefox - since a lot of things I’m working with is web based and I like my adblock and don’t want google spying on me
    • urxvt - a terminal that is fast enough for most applications yet doesn’t use as much memory as fancier ones
    • tmux - a terminal multiplexer - terminal tabs are not as nice plus lets you leave stuff running remotely
    • neovim - I need a text editor and it works great for that purposes covering all my needs
