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.

Yeah its my daily driver for a month. I think its great. I set all windows to tile and use hotkeys to switch between workspaces. No bugs from what I can tell.
I'll need to give tiling another try, I started using alpha 5 back in January and there were some pretty nasty bugs in tiling mode back then that made me think maybe a memory leak or something. After 15-20 minutes performance would get horrible until switching back to floating, though I'm fuzzy on the details.
Is there any capability to leave an open space? Honestly, I like tiling more for the orderliness above and beyond snapping than the dynamism. Aaaaaand that's reminding me why I was looking at building out a LabWC environment, it has configurable snap zones.
Yeah try it again now, I noticed how tiling seemed a bit laggy in the beginning but that has improved. I run the latest git version available in the arch repos.
Thanks, I'll have to sit my ass at my desk so I can try it again. I wonder if there's much delta between what you're using and the beta I'm on from Extra. Though it does look like there are some new betas in Extra-Testing.
Probably not that much. The beta is really new.
