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.

Tiling window manager users: how exactly do you use yours?

Do you have advanced keybindings for bringing up frequently used programs?

Are there less common layouts you use frequently?

Do you use any advanced or fancy features?

I use awesome. Right now I use pretty standard key bindings. I have it looking more like i3, due to the awful wibar placement and font size. I've thought about making special key bindings for constantly used programs however I'm pretty content with Super-P and type the program I want. The most customized I have the awesome config file is, the only available layout is set to spiral and dwindle.

Soon I'd like to implement glyphs and once I figure that out I'll be more apt to make keyboard shortcuts. I also would like to see if I can round up the awful wibar.
