Using the I3 tiling windows manager, pair that with a dual monitor setup and it really makes running dnd and doing other work so much better

      You mean I3-WM? It’s the windows manager I use and it is a thing on Linux. Its a thing that requires config file editing and time to learn but its like super useful for a fast workflow and its light on system resources. It is what makes the management of all my stat blocks so easy.

        Hold the phone i3wm runs on windows? Guess that’s what I’m tinkering with for the next while. I wonder how much of my linux config carries over.

            Oops I totally misread. Windows doesn’t have wm that you can swap out like x11 afaik so I don’t think i3 would work there. Might be some other similar software though.

              yep yep, OP was using ‘windows’ as in program viewports, not the OS hahah

              and yeah, i3 won’t run on Windows. there are some hacky implementations though, like FancyWM which just work on top of Explorer
