  • For a keyboard based window manager I recommend i3, Sway. or Qtile. You will never have use the mouse again for navigating windows. You can use bumblebee status to rice your i3 status bar.

    What's your favorite programming language and what about it do you like?
  • Good old C. Simple to use, minimalistic, stays out of the way and allows me to do what I want while programming. My only problem with it is that is no longer really a low level language to due auto vectorization in modern compilers and kind of requires a PDP-11 style flat memory model to have full control. Although if I ever want full controll in the language I can drop down to inline assembly.

    Linux you say? I n t e r e s t i n g . . .
  • Ubuntu is pretty popular distro so you shouldn't have any issues with lack of support and linux mint is ubuntu-based anyway so they are very similar.
