From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was looking for the obligatory 'I use a tiling WM btw' comment but it seems that everyone is touching grass here
Genuine question why do people do that? What workflow is it better for? I'm sure past a certain learning curve it's good for stuff
Shortcuts and organization:
i can instantly jump to exactly the window i want with a single shortcut
Everything is open maximized by default which, like, why shouldn't it be?
some people are more comfortable doing all of their computer actions from the keyboard without reaching for the mouse. tiling WMs tend to make that easier to do at the cost of requiring some learning
I guess I'm satisfied with keyboard shortcuts and Emacs as my super two-handed keyboard weapon. When I have mouse fully disabled there's always annoying moments where I'm like holding my phone or a drink etc in the left. Can definitely see that though
