Come hang out over on Twitch -- we're setting up a Laravel 13 project using the Svelte starter kit, hacking on some git worktrees support, and continuing work on our graph DB setup in Laravel! Lots to do, so come on over and let's get to work! Twitch link in the replies

Yep, totally possible like that as well! Only downside for me is that I like specific windows to have specific tags—putting them into a container groups them all onto one workspace/tag. Not an issue mechanically, but it’s more of a mental model block for me.

Totally agree having come from Awesome to Hyprland for a bit. Not to take anything away from Hyprland though, holy smokes it’s an incredible compositor. If you like Hyprland and don’t want to go the dwl route for Wayland, I definitely recommend Mango. It’s new, but it’s so good 🔥

Alex Six | The case for tag-based tiling window managers
In the world of tiling window managers, workspaces reign supreme. But is there a better option?
052
Alex Six @alexandersix.com · 21/02/2026
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!

Keep up with our progress on Github - github.com/alexandersix... It's technically a fully working Linux environment, but I haven't checked the setup script lately, so your mileage may vary with those, but you can see all the necessary packages if you're persistent!

Still searching for a great name for this custom Linux configuration! SixOS feels a bit...full of it, if you ask me. Suggestions always welcome!

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...

Hm, I'd be curious to dig into the rector conflicts here–I use it extensively in my Filament projects for upgrades and whatnot, so that could be a deal-breaker.

Any Laravel devs I know using the Mago toolchain? It looks awesome and I'm considering diving deeper into it, but I feel like I haven't heard much about it yet?
