I run Arch Linux on my desktop and Void Linux on my laptop. Both are great distros. I use either IceWM or Ratpoison depending on the mood. IceWM emulates old MS Windows (but it has also optionally support for sloppy focus), and Ratpoison is just like Tmux but for managing GUI windows (it's a manually tiling WM. By default all windows are maximized but you can split the screen if/when you want to). Ratpoison also has optional support for sloppy focus but if you want Ratpoison with click to focus (and other goodies), you might want to try StumpWM. StumpWM is written and configured in Common Lisp but it's more heavy than Ratpoison and some say StumpWM is more unstable but I had zero issues with it when I used it for a few days (I just didn't need the extra features it has). Also, note that typically you want to use keybinding for focusing windows in Ratpoison and StumpWM (using the mouse for that is optional).
>>56341Since you asked… Manjaro is not a very good distro. Read
https://archive.fo/B8yll (or
https://web.archive.org/web/20230708070056/https://manjarno.snorlax.sh The original domain has expired)
The gist of it is:
* Manjaro uses a bleeding edge rolling release distro (Arch Linux) as it's base but Manjaro doesn't push updates to its package repos immediately. Arch Linux expects that the users are always fully up-to-date (only the latest versions are supported and Arch repos are updated very often). From design point of view, this leads to a problem: How to ensure that bugs (possibly security related) get fixed on time on Manjaro? Arch Linux doesn't support any old packages (they tell you to update your system with pacman -Syu).
* They replaced LibreOffice with a proprietary office suite:
https://itsfoss.com/libreoffice-freeoffice-manjaro-linux/ (they have reverted this but only after the community reacted badly to this change)
* Manjaro's own AUR (Arch User Repository) helper tool (in effect) DDoS'ed AUR because of bug its code (if you are looking for a good AUR helper, I recommend rua. It's pretty nice and it lets you review PKGBUILD files and patch files easily if you want to).
EndeavourOS is more stable but just as easy to use as Manjaro. Arch Linux also has an installer (archinstall) but I recommend either Linux Mint, Xubuntu/Kubuntu or EndeavourOS for new Linux users.

I use Qubes OS as a daily driver. It's incredible. The level of security and flexibility compared to linux/windows basically makes me feel like im cumming every day. Dozens of interconnected disposable virtual machines spinning up an self-destructing with a few clicks. I have a separate PC with windows just for games and hi-res films.
Windows is so hostile and unusable now it is shocking, Qubes is unironically more comfortable. I can't post a picture because admin doesnt let me post them with VPNs.

I recently switched to Arch from Void. I really wanted to get into Debian but I was having issues getting qtile to work. Any advice from the ricers here on how I can get past this "externally managed" error that I keep running into with Deb?

I… I am having issues getting qemu to work correctly. Merry xmas I am going back to Void. I need to learn more and get good before I ask for help. Still new to Linux and I guess I know less than I thought. Breaking things.

>>66975If you’re going to be running Linux as a desktop OS it’s probably easier just to run an Arch based system simply for all of the documentation and AUR. I would consider myself exceptionally Linux savvy but trying to tinker around on a Debian system was just problem after problem, especially if you needed software that isn’t included in the official repository… (almost never an issue with an Arch system).
