Reminder - we're starting a nerdy new Laravel project on stream tonight, so come hang out and be a part of it!

Any ideas what we're working on?

I _will_ tell you–we're going to be using @laravel.com's new Svelte starter kit (and I am SO excited)

In all the excitement about the @filamentphp.com launches today, I forgot to mention, I'm streaming tonight!

Come hang out at 7pm EST on Twitch!

We'll talk through my latest updates to our Linux config and explore a new (to me) way of building local development environments!

Yep, totally possible like that as well!

Only downside for me is that I like specific windows to have specific tagsβ€”putting them into a container groups them all onto one workspace/tag.

Not an issue mechanically, but it’s more of a mental model block for me.

Totally agree having come from Awesome to Hyprland for a bit.

Not to take anything away from Hyprland though, holy smokes it’s an incredible compositor.

If you like Hyprland and don’t want to go the dwl route for Wayland, I definitely recommend Mango. It’s new, but it’s so good πŸ”₯

Alex Six | The case for tag-based tiling window managers In the world of tiling window managers, workspaces reign supreme. But is there a better option?

If there's one thing I'm passionate about in Linux, it's tag-based tiling window managers. Nothing has come close to the productivity boost I've felt because of them.

Don't know what those are? Well, lucky for you, I have a new post out on my site about just that!

Link below!

It's technically a fully working Linux environment, but I haven't checked the setup script lately, so your mileage may vary with those, but you can see all the necessary packages if you're persistent!

Still searching for a great name for this custom Linux configuration! SixOS feels a bit...full of it, if you ask me.

Suggestions always welcome!

Sadly, no stream tomorrow because of some prior commitments, and no stream on Thursday because I'll be having fun at UpstatePHP!

Don't worry, though--I have some fun theme switching and workflow updates to show off!

I think the install is really starting to come together! πŸ”₯

Alex Six | Getting tmux to accept "Shift+Return" I finally found the right configuration to get tmux to let me use "Shift+Return", and the fix is SO simple!

Finally ironed out one of the most irritating issues I was facing when using TUIs (specifically AI-related ones) in tmux.

The fix was so simple, but now that I've found it, everything feels so GOOD!
