This is probably the least interesting #ctwm layout in the world. It's the Debian default, with different colors, new menus, new keyboard shortcuts, and a sidebar panel. The only real difference between what I did last year and this, besides the panels and rethought menus, is the colors. On, and the window controls follow the Motif standard.

One of the new menus is a Tiling menu; it will resize and move a window to tile the screen into quadrants. (Default window geometries are set to make the windows open at the size I want.)

It is not the most exciting thing in the world, but it's mine, all mine.

This is a mosaic of I dunno how many overlapping screenshots of a game of #ageofempires2, stitched together to create a vast overview of what my civilization (the Vikings) looked like in a late stage.

There was literally no need for almost everything you see here. Who needs that many farms? That many houses? The relics and the wonder?

I can justify the four universities, though. If you have the resources, build as many as you want, and set each researching different upgrades. Same reason there's multiple blacksmiths.

My experiments with #i3 #i3wm as a tiling window manager in #LinuxMint #MATE have been productive. I can have a document open locally (left) and work with it in my remote work desktop (right). Essentially, I treat my desktop like a window.

Experimenting with i3 as the window manager in #LinuxMint MATE.

I do not know how much use this will get from me, but it works quite well, though i3 and MATE handle workspaces differently so opening applications on assigned workspaces doesn't work. I found a kludgey way to make it happen with the i3-msg command, though.

The bottom panel is basically superfluous, and I don't need the Show Desktop applet -- it throws up an error -- but I mapped the Mint Menu to Super-D to replace dmenu and set it to not show an icon.

I don't know that I have ever won a game of backgammon, and while I hadn't won this one -yet-, I did in a few more moves. #LinuxMint
