  • Sway is fine. I still prefer i3 because I still use many X applications.

    Now for this meme specifically, sway and i3wm are actually easy to understand once you know the basic key chords. Sway in particular can also allow drag and drop to tile manually without shortcuts.

    Dwm though is a nightmare for Linux beginners let alone those who never use Linux before. I3 needs a .config file, so newbies can read it and figure out the key bindings. On Dwm? It doesnt need one because the system can just run the compiled dwm executable. So if you really want to make it more secure: configure dwm to your likings => compile it => delete the source folder. Nobody will know wtf is going on, except you.



  • –What distro did you install?–

    Nvm, I searched and it is Ubuntu 25.04 lol. I kept thinking there was a distro names “GNU Linus OS” that I never know about. So you’re purely on Linux now, congrats. Was the majority of the installation time on transferring data?

    Ubuntu is a great distro, everything should work till forever if you dont mess around with system configs. Even if you like to tinker with system, Linux is easier to fix than Windows. Command lines can be scary at first but they really help.





  • yeh… this works 100% if you are single booting Linux. As soon as Windows enter the equation, things get fucked up because of stupid Windows update. Say you have an update and it fails to install because the message “Windows is wotking on updates. Don’t turn off the PC. This will take a while” appears for like 6 hrs. Try to press F2/Del to enter Bios? Tough luck, I smashed the shit out of those keys and still… booted straight into Windows.

    You then need to go do some convoluted shits like the Shift + Restart combo to go the Diagnostic screen and restart into Setup page (the Bios).
