Plasma was my first desktop environment but you get tired of the fancy effects in a matter of time. Now i use DWM. My brothers uses i3 for school, browsing and gamming. But every choice is enjoyable in it's way, the transition from a desktop environment to a window manager is hard but when you get use to, you transform your computer in a super computer, now I can't imagine living without monocle mode, auto fit windows, pertag and fakefullscreen patches are every day tools thanks to DWM.

@amc I am using dwm for a year now. Before that I was using i3 and I have tested plasma and gnome a couple of times. I am starting a new job in January and have to use MacOS so I think I am going to try one of there tiling extensions

@humbug I understand you, the last year I have to use Windows for a work and feels weird, the way I solved is using bug.n and hotkeys that make a dwmish experience. It makes Windows more functional so I really some times get confused if I was working on Windows or Linux, for MacOs I know exist yabai and chunkwm, kind of same workflow but I personally don't have experience on that. Even one can approx the same workflow I still prefer Linux for the interaction with the system, some times I use a VM machine and triangulate the work so the workflow still in Linux but the result gets to BSD, Mac or Windows. It really depend on what you do. I normally manipulate text configs: programming, scripting, documentation or servers, so many text processing features that comes in Linux like awk, grep, sed, etc; there are easier to work in Linux and have more variety than others.

@amc I am actually kind of excited. I was always against apple. But I think mostly because it is pretty expensive to get started. And I am also pretty used to the Linux way because I am using it since 2011.
I have heard of a couple of tiling extensions to mac and I am going to try them all :)
As long as I have a terminal I think it's going to be fine.
Docker is going to be different I guess because it is running in a VM now. We'll see :)
