There have been tiling window managers based around Emacs before. I think the most recent I tried was https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm -- in this case the window manager is itself emacs, and your windows are buffers in emacs etc.

It makes a lot of sense, since Emacs does its own tiling, and one is usually familiar with the keystrokes already, and then you don't have tiling in tiling.

So I keep meaning to go back and try this again, or something similar, but I recall it having issues with a lot of my commonly used applications back when I tried it.

When I get in the tiling mood, I use regolith, which is a nice packaging up of i3 in with the gnome environment. I'd love to have something like that, but built around emacs.

The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

I do the following things in Emacs: window management, window management, file management, web browsing, mail, streaming music, chatting, shell management, version control, and life organization.

WM: EXWM Emacs X Window Manager

In the case of Arch you could take a look at https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm

EXWM is a full-blown tiling window manager for X11 that runs in Emacs. I've been using it for years. It's kind of difficult to get going, but I'd never switch back now.

Suddenly, I have that uniformity and consistent experience everywhere, and only a single configuration language to learn and use to get things how I like them.

If you like both emacs and tiling window managers, I strongly recommend it.

Well, my Ubuntu with https://vscodium.com/ is certainly much better for web development than fucking windows. I boot windows only for gaming. I detest their spyware adware OS. Furthermore, I detest "99% open source with 1% bullshit on top of it" products like Chrome and VScode. I will never use the official versions of such programs. I use Brave to use Blink/Chromium, it also has the benefit of not suffering from the v3 manifest bullshit they pulled to attack and weaken Adblockers.

WSL is cool and all, but why deal with all the quirks and issue that come with it, why lorn how it works and all the limitations ... when you can just have it all natively the way it was invented and supposed to work?

I wonder if [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/) suffers from same issues

Seems like you still lose the Python plugin and remote extensions? Missing the wsl one is pretty rough. If you’re comfortable with vim (or want to be) I can’t recommend neovim enough.

Use Codium. https://vscodium.com/

Anything Microsoft-branded will shoot you in the face sooner or later.

No matter what project you're developing on, at some point you'll give VSCode (or its open source version) a try. You can use it to develop in a dedicated dev-environment or debug integration scenarios.

Hello, and welcome to vscodium:

So Raylib library could be your best option. Let's code, just open your text editor like vim or VSCodium in your Windows, Linux or Mac computer and let's build our indie game with Raylib library, no extra dependencies are needed.

From my own experience Debian Bookworm with XFCE + VScodium is a winner on the X220.

To be fair, there is vscodium[1] which is only a few letters off vscode:
