Spectrwm was the first tiling window manager I tried and I loved it! I used it on my netbook. But later when i installed Arch on my desktop pc I couldn't make it work so I switched to Awesome instead because I was familiar with it since my friend use it on his computers. Then came the day when I decided to reinstall Arch, so I installed Spectrwm again.
But. This time around I really didn't like it, I thought it was gonna be so much easier but I realized it was just too minimalistic for my taste and I didn't wanna spend a long time to make it work the way I wanted so I just installed Awesome again haha

I've customized my OSes since DOS and windows, and I'm old now. Here's what I've learned about that: try to NOT overly customize things, especially commands that are already provided. This follows a rule of diminishing returns. The more you do things like create bash aliases for commands like -ls -al- then the poorer you are at operating stock Linux. This goes for passwords too. If you don't use cheaters then your memory will be sharper and you won't need cheaters.

Author here. Everyone is encouraged to add their own favourite apps. Since the video had been uploaded two new sections were introduced on i3wm and Zsh.
Much thanks to DistroTube. They pushed the traffic from 50 visitors/day to 1000 visitors/day and brought attention to a little project that probably doesn't deserve that much.

People don't like tabs in vim ? IMO it's easier to work with tabs cause you can see indention easily when white space characters are shown (I have show white space enabled by default). Spaces I have to count each individual one ....For example: I know that function has 4 tabs because of the > > > > VS _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

In Z Shell you can define global aliases - so i put this in my .zshrc:
alias -g nu='2>/dev/null' (german for dev/zero). Find it very helpful, because sometimes have to redirect stderr, so I don't see any error messages - especially when using find an searching in the root filesystem.

Dt since you said 4 pixels for a gap and because i know you have 1080 monitors now i need you to think a bit how large would 4 pixel gap be on a 4k monitor well realy small if you have same size 4k and 1080p monitor 16px on 4k is equal to 4px on 1080p by real world size

I have a lot of lag with GPU accelerated terminals like alacritty and kitty. I'm guessing it's a compositor/gpu setting that messes it up, but I have no idea how to debug something like this. Sticking with urxvt for now...

Hi, I use 'desert' color scheme which is a bit dimmed and ambient.
Try 'map ; :' it opens another world in vim. But the mistaken version 'map : ;' in vimrc will cause you lot of trouble :).

I don't have my dotfiles posted, but I fall in to many of these :D. When I started using bspwm about 2 years ago it wasn't nearly as popular as it is now. Really cool to see it grow!

Hell no, I love tabs. They can be whatever size you want. I hate when people use spaces instead, but I can live with it. What I can't live is my tabs being converted to spaces :)
