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!

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! 🔥

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! www.alexandersix.com/posts/gettin...

So, new year new me and all—should I finally try setting up multistreaming? I’m only on Twitch right now, but…would people watch on YT? I’m a little apprehensive about splitting my chat streams since it’s so hard to interact with chatters on the other platform.

Oh look, it's me, almost a month late with my 2025 review post. I'm nothing if not consistent with these! TL;DR - 2025 did not go how I planned at all, but somehow it went much, much better. www.alexandersix.com/posts/2025-y...

It's not much yet (I have 0 decorations and only an hour or so on lighting), but I'm liking this so far! If anyone has advice on what to add/change, let me know! I'm open to any and all feedback at this point, including what to have in the background 😅
