Since I started working remotely due to the pandemic, I’ve become dependent on a single feature of VSCode: Remote SSH. I’m still a VSCode user, and whilst I’m not the biggest fan of it, there really isn’t anything better. I somehow doubt this time next year I’ll be using the same environment setup I’m using now. I’m yet to find a nice way to version its configuration, or fully get my head around its window management. Enlightenment is a lot to get your head around, but does work super nicely.

KDE also claims some tiling extensions, but I’ve not fully played around with them.

System76 have a tiling extension for Gnome, but it’s not quite the same. I’d much rather have something configurable, but which works well together out of the box. Now that’s not to say it’s a bad thing, but I’m starting to lose interest in tinkering and composing lots of smaller applications to get something working. i3 is still great at this, but it’s just not a fully-featured desktop. I’ve been playing around with a couple desktop environments, namely KDE, Gnome and Enlightenment, and it’s all making me realize quite how much I need tiling in my life. Installing arch isn’t simple, but if I wanted something more guided, that’s probably how I’d do it. It’s simply an installer, and a few ancillary packages. It’s a great OS, just not for me.ĮndeavourOS is picking up where Antergos left off, but providing even less for itself. Mostly due to the non-standard way it handled kernel updates. I briefly tried Manjaro, but didn’t quite get along with it. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a package compatibility issue cause me actual issues.

The fact everything exists exactly once in the package repositories makes installing software incredibly simple. In 2020, I’m still running vanilla arch, and don’t really plan on changing. So, still borrowing the idea from Cortex, here’s how I get work done: # OSīack in 2019, I had to give up my beloved Antergos and transition to vanilla arch. It’s been quite an adjustment barely leaving the house, and has brought with it a number of changes to my desk and tooling.

I’ve been working from home basically full time since the UK went into lockdown 17th March. It’s that time of the year again: time to look back at how I work, the tools I use, and how the next year might look.
