Haven’t changed anything major in a while and feeling very productive. Feel free to ask for any details.

    I always see these four screen arch setups, is this standard for arch? What am I looking at here? I’ve never moved away from debiam so I don’t know what I’m missing

      you can do this on debian, too. It’s not specific to the OS – it’s the window manager. Specifically, this kind of window manager is called a tiling window manager.

      Basically it just organizes your windows slightly differently. Instead of having them floating around like in Windows, Mac, or traditional desktop environments like GNOME, it tiles them – when you open a new window, it automatically split screens it.

      window managers also don’t by default have things like a battery display or a wi-fi applet, like your typical desktop environment does – you have to do that stuff manually by building some sort of status bar (there are various apps that provide status bars).
