Haha yeah I agree completely. I don’t understand how anyone prefers floating windows. It just feels so clumsy to use now that i’m used to tiling.

Like how small? I tile on my 14" laptop screen and still infinitely prefer it over floating. Workspaces exist so you don’t clutter up one screen too much. Maybe people aren’t familiar with or used to taking advantage of multiple workspaces? I started using them more when i3 introduced me to a simple super+number hotkey system to switch quickly.

Sway is wayland. I’ve never used anything else. People rave about hyprland. Others in this thread have recommend plugins for the usual desktops. Probably easy enough to try one for whichever desktop you use now.

There exists a ton of youtube content creators showcasing all the tiling window managers. It’s like one of the most popular topics for linux enthusiast content creators.

Yeah, it was a revelation when I discovered tiling. I was always doing work with two windows open, and i’d spend so much time fiddling and resizing the windows. Then i’d open a third window and wouldn’t know what to do with it.

I used i3 for many years and switched to sway when migrating to wayland. It does what I need and see no reason to try hyprland or other tilers.

Most tiling window managers still have floating window capabilities, and notification popups will be on top of tiled windows.

I would say that mostly applies to the story. Warcraft 3 introduced the epic Arthas story line and wotlk is the conclusion to that. Nothing else they’ve done with wow on the story side has really compared to that. Though if you never played warcraft 3, this may not have as much impact on you. Oh and the story in some later expansions really stinks, such as shadowlands.

However, from the actual gameplay side, I would argue retail is infinitely superior now. Classes have mechanical depth and options. Max level content is much more varied with raids, mythic+, and delves. Warband features make the game so much more casual friendly, allowing you to hop around on alts.

If all you care about is the leveling experience and you don’t want to really play much at max level, then classic and especially wotlk is kinda peak wow at that, but otherwise, retail is an improved game as a whole.

There’s tons of youtube videos / tutorials on how to create a live usb of a distro, such as linux mint. This will allow you to boot into linux and play around without installing anything and get a feel for linux. It’s nowhere as tech wizardry as you think.

And if all your games are on steam and don’t have anti cheat things, they’ll probably just all work with proton (linux compatibility tool in steam).
