Omarchy and desktop behavior

So I tried out Omarchy on a Parallels VM. This was a non-starter. I could not get a reasonable display and slower than molasses. Installed on a System/76 meerkat (Core i3 Intel NUC with some mods) that I bought at least 5 years ago to play around with. Boots great, runs great, but I don’t see the utility. I think DHH and I just approach development very differently. My old brain just can’t deal with all the key bindings. The meerkat will host something else to play with soon.

But the tiling window manager idea intrigues me so I’m fiddling with Moom and Stage Manager on macOS Tahoe. Yeah, it’s not a automatic tiler, but it lets me tile if I want with minimal fuss. I’m surprised at how fast I got used to Stage Manager. I don’t know if it will stick, but it’s worth keeping around for a bit.

My Linux systems run Pop!_OS and I turned tiling on there too for the time being. Not sure if that will stick or not. It sure isn’t hyprland. But who knows?
