      I used Windows 2.something on an old Compaq 386 (16MHz) and it didn’t automatically title anything. There was an option to tile (or cascade) the current window set, but a new window would not cause a retiling. Neither would a window closing.

        Windows 1; not 2

        -Because of a lawsuit from Apple.

        Fwiw, I’ve seen some people demonstrate a robust and efficient keyboard based workflow using floating window management. Sometimes it’s a simple matter of what you set out to learn.

          Yeah, I prefer tiled windows (XMonad) but I use my mouse for a lot of things, it’s not because I need a keyboard based workflow.

      Not really. The tiling in windows didn’t work in the same automatic “turn it on and watch it go” way that it does on Linux. But don’t let that get in the way of your bizarre Linux trolling as I know you’ve been waiting all day for your moment to “shine”
