Distro isn’t important for tiling, just the window manager. I’d start with i3 personally, it’s been around a long time, which means the documentation is fairly plentiful.

Even as a vegan, it’s pretty up in the air imo. It’s well established that if your life saving medication contains animal products, you take the medication. This is more complicated for sure, but an argument can probably be made. I’m not sure what I feel about it.
What’s with the negative reactions here, people? The post highlights one of the fun aspects of reinventing/discovering yourself, the art style is a common one and doesn’t detract from the message.

lol I’m still trying to figure out my style after living as myself for six years already, though for me I’m torn between cottage dresses vs giant hoodies
Presumably they just either haven’t made a proper package for opensuse, or their platform detection isn’t perfect. Since Debian based distros are the most common, sometimes companies will only distribute Deb files…
In any case, I’d personally recommend getting steam via flatpak, it works quite well.
Even more of a dilemma if you’re veggie
Honestly, Konsole is fantastic. On Gnome I use Blackbox, on Sway I use Foot, but if you’re on KDE you don’t really get better than Konsole.
Alacritty and Kitty are both terminals I used to use back when I was on i3wm, they’re perfectly usable, but I don’t think the average user will gain any tangible benefit from replacing Konsole.
Either a safety razor or Phillips one blade are excellent investments. The former is a smoother very economical shave, the latter is very fast and convenient (can’t cut yourself, and don’t need water). They don’t last as long as an epilator, but it’s a worthwhile trade off for the convenience.
As others have said, lasers are supposed to be great if you have dark hair, but I’m sharing what I’ve settled on as a person with nothing but light blonde.
Maybe try silverblue to see what the immutability thing is about? If you want to stick with what’s familiar, kinoite will give you KDE. If you’d rather try something different, sericea will give you sway.
To second what others have said: VM's aren't suitable for gaming regrettably.
PopOS is a rather reliable distro, and I personally have loved the window tiling features they added, but it should be noted that they only have LTS from a year ago at the moment. I think that's just while they work on their new desktop environment, but the older packages might be a tad bit of a transition coming from Arch.
If there was only a way to get automatic tiling on cinnamon it’d be my favorite desktop by far. Everything you need, nothing you don’t, sensible by default. It’s the right option for most people I think
The only class I ever had bring it up was my optional college level philosophy class, and even then I’m pretty sure it was more from the professor than the school. I freaking love that man for it, he changed my life. If you want to learn how animals are treated here, most of the time you gotta do the research yourself. Regrettably, very few people care enough to do so…
Helix. It’s fairly vimlike, but with sensible defaults and no plugins so I don’t have to waste any time configuring it. It has good lsp and linting support for the languages I use (js & dart). My config is one line, to set the theme to match my terminal.
Helix deserves more love. Blazing fast, sensible defaults, good lsp support, vim-ish bindings. It’s really my perfect editor
Possibly? Though I wouldn’t recommend it. I tried that with xfce once, and it technically worked, but tiling window manager and desktop environments tend to have different aims. A desktop environment like plasma will have everything bundled together and playing well as a whole, while a window manager like i3 will be barebones and expect you to pick out the pieces yourself. DE’s are much more beginner friendly, while WM’s are great if you want to get as much customization as possible. Which will better suit you depends on your needs.
My family's local religious leader fortunately took my parents aside one day to ask them exactly that. It was the start of a major turn around in my relationship with them, and I'll never not be grateful that he did that.
Sadly not available on Linux, but Arc has the best tab management paradigm of any browser I’ve tried, by far. Pinned tabs with folders, workspaces, and home urls goes hard.
On the other end of the spectrum, I’m very fond of qtbrowser. If you want a keyboard centered workflow it’s hard to beat.
Either way is fine usually. If you really care about 1:1 trackpad gestures like I do, get Wayland. If you have an nvidia card, get x11. Otherwise it’s probably not something most people will even notice.
Alas, sorting software is much cheaper to implement than differing hardware, so the cost benefit analysis would work out differently in that case I expect…
A couple reasons:
I think Firefox will support both v2 and v3 extensions, so devs can use whichever makes more sense for their project. It has been a while since I looked into it though.

You can still use the old Scrivener for free, it's been floating around as an appimage: https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1262832/
I'm afraid I only own the modern Scrivener through the App Store, so I wouldn't be able to install it on my linux machine to test it #^-^;#
I honestly think the best way to emulate Mac OS is by using KDE. Make a dock at the bottom, add a menu bar up top and add a system tray, choose an appropriate plasma theme and you’re done.
Please do not take this as support of ai use of copyrighted works (I don’t), but as far as I can tell, yes we are machines. This rant is just me being aspie atm, so feel free to ignore it.
We are thinking machines programmed by our genetics, predispositions, experiences, and circumstances. A 2 part explanation of how humans are merely products of their circumstances was once put forward to me. The first part is that humans can do anything, but only the thing we want to do most.
For instance, a common rebuttal is that people can choose go to the gym even when they find the experience of exercise undesirable. However, when that happens, it’s merely a case of other wants out balancing the want to not go to the gym, typically they want to be fit.
We want to not spend money, but we want to not rush going to jail for stealing more, usually. We want to not work overtime, but sometimes we want the extra cash more than that.
The second part of the argument is that we can’t choose what we want. When someone talks themselves out of the slice of cheesecake, they aren’t changing what they want, they’re resolving said want against the larger want they have to lose weight.
And if we make decisions by our wants, while said wants are not decided by us, then despite appearances we are little more than complex automata.
Hmm… I’m still torn on ai assisted coding. On the one hand, less work is good, on the other hand I trust myself to make my code error free more than I do a glorified chat bot that won’t have to deal with the consequences…
Somehow I’ve become the crotchety person upset about how things are changing, and I’m not even 30 yet…
If you want a tiling window manager, I’d also take a look at sway. In most regards, it works just like i3, so there’s a good amount of documentation available by proxy, but it uses Wayland instead of x11 (so probably don’t use it if you have an nvidia card)
Edit: ninja’d
Looks like most everything has been answered, but I’ll note that if you struggle with arch, endeavor os has the same underpinnings while being a fair bit more beginner friendly (graphical installation, easy drivers, utilities to rank mirrors and update your packages, etc.). Arch wiki is great for questions that have already been answered, endeavor forums are useful for asking questions when the wiki falls through.
For anyone trying it out for the first time: If you aren't sure how to do something, it's probably hitting the spacebar in normal mode. That will bring up a list of shortcuts, including the debugging, file chooser, and actions (for the lip)
To add to what others have recommended:
Arc for sure! It’s chromium based, unfortunately, but has unparalleled tab and workspace management, and is unfairly sleek and nice looking!
Other than that, Firefox is always nice, and Orion is interesting as well.
Note: while presently only available for mac, I would stick the Arc browser in the league of Vivaldi and Edge. While less customizable than Vivaldi, the level of workspace and tab management it brings are unprecedented.
Oh snap, don’t mind if I do
It’s an immutable disto built around distrobox, I believe
This is true, has mpv started working with it? The reason I have it in the first place is to stream Lofi /synthwave/jazz audio via mpv rather than specifically for downloading. Back when I’d last looked, mpv needed the old fork specifically, but if they’ve updated I’d be more than happy to switch
Epy reader is command line, so not very discoverable, but I freaking love it
It’s a bit more complex on Firefox than the others I mentioned
I don't believe NixOS prevents you from using the standard terminal commands or editing config files. It hooks you up with a different set of tools, ones which are better in some respects, but it doesn't force you to use them.
nix-env -iA is there for a reason, they recognize that sometimes perfection is the enemy of good #^-^#
Theme: any Nordic dark theme Icons: Papirus, it just can’t be beat Cursor: Do people actually care enough to change it? They’re all kinda same-y
I love Helix! It's pretty much replaced Vim for me, which was previously my preferred editor for quick changes, as opposed to loading up VSCode for when I'm putting in some sustained work.
Helix required a small amount muscle memory change, but nothing major, and in return I have a text editor which, due to sensible defaults, is exactly the same on all of my devices. I don't need to mess around with plugins (Vim plugins are fun, mind, but it's kind of a waste of time if Helix meets my needs out of the box.)
Bottom, it’s just easier
