Hello,
Is there anyone using tiling window manager (i3 and similar)? I get easily distracted by stacking desktop environments and I found out that the minimalist approach works best for my ability to focus on learning and doing actual work with the computer. The less on the screen, the better and I don’t mind memorizing some additional commands to get works done, if it reduces amount of information displayed at one time. It’s not even about productivity - this approach just feels better and “cleaner”, compared to bloated desktop environments like KDE.
Vimb is pretty good for that purpose (no menus, no tabs, no need for mouse usage most of the time), although it fails to load some websites and it can get buggy sometimes. Can you suggest any alternatives or ways to improve the experience with that browser?
Well it isn’t built from the ground up to be keyboard based buuuuuut. You can just install Firefox and a plugin called VimiumC, it will introduce vim like keybinding to site browsing and usage.
I followed your advice and I’m happy with Ice weasel and VimiumC. Thank you.
Happy to help, it’s also my preffered setup because qute’s rendering engine wasn’t unfortunately very well tailored to the modern web… Damn you Google! I’m glad Firefox and it’s forks still exist.
