Confetti Camouflage

They want to get to the equivalent of vim’s :

Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

I agree he didn’t do a good job evangelizing Linux. He made a video about his experiences with it, but I do think it’s representative of someone googling and first time trying Linux on their own without a guide friend to tell them, “oh you can do it this way now.” Him ultimately sticking with it in spite of that for data sovereignty is kind of the whole point of Free Software so I can respect that.

I like his other channels for drums / drum history (Drum Thing) and cars (Garbage Time), but notably the main DankPods channel has 1.65 million subs which could bring a load of new people’s attention to Linux.

Closest thing I can think of would be the tags system from DWM iirc or AwesomeWM or on Wayland RiverWM. They can be used like traditional workspaces but you can have a number of workspaces (tags) active at once. However, they are more merged and tiled together instead of overlayed on top which sounds like what the special workspace would do. At the time I used AwesomeWM I never really used the tags system to it’s full potential and only used it like traditional workspaces.
