As for music production on Linux, I use Reaper. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

I like his little wiener.

I use it on my laptop which has a small screen. I have two or three workspaces/"ribbons" with let's say terminals (with IDE) on the first one, browser(s) under that one and chats in the bottom row. I have at most two or three windows in each row, so there's not much overhead. Also there are keybindings to jump to the start or end of each workspace. How many windows do you usually have open?

Niri is great!

Thanks for the tip.

I am currently reading Cloud Native Go, among other things. Seems interesting.

Thanks! It's about time I read Asimov for sure.

Yep, I've found some books on Libby and BookBites which is what my local library offers, but not everything I'm looking for.

The Internet Archive is great and deserves support!

Oh wow!

Thanks for the tip.

Ah, yes, HumbleBundle! I forgot about them. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm interested for sure. I can use this and then donate directly to the authors if that's possible :)

Were you thinking of the Hardtime plugin?

Which-key is great, btw. I think I learn a new shortcut or something every day using it.
