I used to always bounce back and forth between Gnome, Plasma, Sway and Hyprland.
I love tiling compositors, but I also love having a fully functional desktop without stitching together two dozen different tools and configuring each separately. I got better things to do than edit text files for days.

And I think I found my holy grail: niri with Dank Material Shell.
DMS really is something else. A fully-fledged DE that sits on top of a tiling wayland compositor, with a workflow similar to Gnome and GUI customization options similar to Plasma.

I realize I’m shilling hard here, but I don’t even know the guy who made it. I’m just genuinely floored by the project’s quality.

    AI is in the tool chain now whether you want it or not.

    I don’t understand what this is even supposed to mean? Because there are AI tools, you’re forced to use them? Nah.

    People who don’t use new tools get stuck behind.

    Nah. People who use AI slop churn out slop. People who actually write good code don’t use that shit at all because it just delays their progress.

    you are going to be dealing with a shitty carpenter who is a lot slower and less effective than one who learned how to use a hammer.

    A hammer doesn’t go around the house smashing windows as it builds the house. Its wielded by the carpenter and does exactly what they make it do.

    The genie is out of the bottle.

    Again, what is this supposed to mean?

    AI is not a tool. A tool does what its wielder makes it do. AI just fucking wings it and makes shit up constantly and is wrong constantly.
