The other HN Linux user trope here is the (sadly predictable) fetishization of tiling window managers. I used these for years and they're really not that great. If you ask me these exhibit the exact same problem the author is trying to get away from. There are dozens and dozens of them, none of them are really that interesting or novel, so they change around the keybinds and come up with weird and obscure features just to try to stand out from the crowd. It's really a mess. And plus, basically all of them are broken when it comes to a mouse-driven workflow. I find them to be completely unusable for doing anything besides programming and typing documents.
