I don’t do strictly fixed, but I do relative, for example my terminal is left of my IDE, my browser is right.

Using workspaces as instantly switchable ‘screens’ also helps make presentations and demos really slick, i find.

You can screen-share the whole monitor and then flick between your deck and code and a browser very cleanly with no window fumbling.

This is the way I always did it on Mac, and now do it on Cosmic.

Almost always I want windows to have the full real-estate of the screen (editor, browser, etc) so tiling rarely makes sense for me and instead I want to be able to rapidly change between windows.

So using whole workspaces as a side-to-side carousel where I can flip back and forth between adjacent ones in a moment has been my go-to workflow for 15 years already.

Even the Switch is easy to port between.

Exclusives these days genuinely are completely arbitrary, and exist only to create lock-in for one particular company’s walled garden.

WinRAR said it had a 40 day trial, but it actually never expired and you could continue using it forever for free. You never had to pay.

Which is why we have all the WinRAR memes.

Due to this, it was actually pretty goated, and remembered fondly by many.

Yep. This one really is just a USB Mass Storage device so it will actually work, but I don’t assume seeing that penguin is guarantee of anything.

If you’re buying something like an m.2 WiFi card and want something that actually works, you still need community opinion - especially if you want kernel support and for it to function without tweaks in the way Windows users have always expected and enjoyed.

It is getting better, though :)
