| | I looked at various window tiling managers for macOS, but I think I will stick with hammerspoon. To use it, you write a lua program in your $HOME (similar to awesomewm for linux), and bind macOS APIs to keyboard shortcuts. It is a "bridge between the operating system and a Lua scripting engine". Not only can you tile your windows, but also do things like trigger events when you arrive home, or, plug in a USB device, for example.

| | i3 is a tiling window manager, which means that the concept of "window" does not exist. Instead of windows, there are "tiles": generic partitions of the screen, where some content is drawn into. In this post I write my opinions on the key changes between stacking and tiling window managers.

| What I've always loved about Linux is its customizability and the freedom you have to configure your rice exactly you like it, especially when you pass the line of Desktop Environments to embrace more straightforward environments like tiling manager; this is where Linux on the desktop shines. Tiling managers allow arranging windows in non-overlapping frames and controlling any aspect using the keyboard, including opening, closing, moving, and resizing. Like the most known desktop environments (including macOS), they also have the concept of workspaces, where you can organize your windows in a way you feel more productive.
