A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
persist : don't prompt the user to type the password again after some time (potentially unsafe)

xorg sucks, use swc
Other: doas (opendoas package on void) in place of sudo, 9front or plan9 and factotum in place of Linux and PAM.

Major improvement in wrist fatigue?
I switched to Vim a little above a year ago. It is a keyboard-driven text editor. You can't open it and just start typing like notepad, you open it then you have to press a command to start typing—i or a are the most simple. When you are done typing, you press escape to leave insert ("text-editing") mode and go back into visual ("navigation") mode. You then write changes and close the editor with ZZ. Now, a few months before I started using my new keyboard, I started using a tiling Window Manager—dwm—which allowed me to do most of my window management and navigation with the keyboard alone.

Using Arch Linux
Now I had to get a “GUI” up and running. I had used KDE and GNOME on my old laptop before but I wanted to try something called a tiling window manager. If you didn’t know, tiling window managers basically automatically resize windows based on available space, so instead of having a bunch of windows overlapping each other like macOS or Windows, all of them are on the screen and visible to the user. For this, I was going to use a tiling window manager called dwm .

Moving between workspaces
I'm coming from https://dwm.suckless.org/ so I am very confused by the MacOS window manager. I know I can Control+{1..9} to move between Desktop workspaces, but that stops working if I full screen an Application? So how do people quickly move between a terminal and a certain browser profile? Bonus: How do remove that slow transition animation?

[OC] Dynamic tiling (master-stack) proof of concept script for sway
To see properly implemented dynamic master-stack tiling, see the x window manager dwm or the wayland compositor river.

Wayland or X11 programming for beginners ?
You can also check out DWM (X11) written in 2000 SLOC, so should be easy to understand.

A window manager that doesn't require you to edit the source code for basic customization? Heresy! (googles how to open window in dwm)
People should be scared of editing source code. That keeps Noobs and people with jobs away

Update. If installed arch successfully with the German version of arch wiki.

What's the use of having multiple Desktops? Have never used it myself..wanted to know what people use it for..
I work mostly with full screen windows, or Monocle mode as dwm and the like call it. The trackpad makes it very easy to swipe between spaces and I keep things in a defined order so no matter what app I'm currently using I can quickly get to any other app.
