In my ongoing transition from Mac to #Linux I have been trying to avoid just setting up something like a Mac, but worse. So I have been trying some more radical things, like the tiling window manager i3, but it was a bit much for me.
Then I came accross scrolling tiled window mangers and, oh my! This is how things should be done. There are a few out there, but I'm using #PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM
Going back to my Mac with higgledy-piggledy windows feels outright barborous now.
