@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire yea pretty much. I hate doing non productive things.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire when I am at home I do it on the pc. Yes. Lol Or actually maybe in vr because vr with mouse and keyboard is gonna be the future. Lol.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire no. Not a side gig. Just a hobby project game server thing or just my nas.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire "there you have it" oh no. The fact I like to adopt new stuff as early as possible. Which I mentioned like 7 times already. You got dementia?

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato well. After a reboot. I want to structure my workspaces again. Put all the messaging things on one screen Firefox on its screen. And then like a file manager or whatever on another. Gnome does that basically in a single step.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire not useful if it's sitting at home. The best device is the one you have on you if you need it.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato that's a lie xfce has this shitty windows like menu for apps by default.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire again though. Am I gonna have a laptop while running in the forest? No. Did the game server fuck up and I need to run a rollback command? Yea. That happened. And then I did that

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire a 100dollar phone is not going to give you a lot of Early Hardware stuff is it.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire but also. I told you. I have a folding phone because it's new. I like early adopting things to find out the strengths and weaknesses. A folding phone is actually really crap for many reasons. But I love using it and finding out which app is worthless on the big screen.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire yea I do. One half for one ssh session. The other one for a ssh session with a man page or like discord chat to see what's going on on a game server so I know what config file I broke yesterday or whatever.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato clicking on it twice tells the compositor which workspace to put the program on?

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire well what. I'm sorry I do. Things like running game servers. Or a nextcloud instance thst other people use.
With these things there are cases where immediate action is very very good.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato yea right. Because learning how to set up a window manager is not a waste of time at all. Compare to just using gnome with a tiling manager extension.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire well then OK. Show me a folding 100 dollar phone. Or. Some other new screen formfactor.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato that's why I settled for Gnome with Forge. Which gives makes gnome tile it's windows.
If I used a tiling manager I would have to see how to configure one to have the dash and the app grid work like it does on gnome. The ability to drag launch an app on whatever workspace you want is a thing I use often.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato yes. I have tried a couple. They are garbage.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire right. Do You carry your laptop Literally everywhere you go?

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @sysrq @histoire yea I could do that. Very correct. But that's boring and how everyone uses their phones. Thats not new exciting and fun. I like tech that is new and weird and quirky. Not the established standard.

@MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire @mischievoustomato I like Gnome because I want to have multiple workspaces set up. Gnome does that way better than anything else. I like the app grid and being able to drag and launch things in different workspaces. I like that you use the super key for loads of things. To start an app to switch to another to run a command to do maths. You press super and there you go.
Once you embrace gnome 40 series it's like.. Very different from Pretty much every other desktop
