I would like to give a proper try to a tiling window manager. I would like to try QTile, but I haven't gone through the documentation to understand how to customize it properly. Currently, I use GNOME (and actually, I like it a lot). Also, I love TMUX, and the idea of having the same flexibility and keyboard-centric experience on a broader level makes me think that I will love a tiling window manager when I try it. I'm interested in QTile because I know it's configured in Python (which is a programming language I already know), and apparently, it can be used on either X or Wayland. Have you ever tried using it on Wayland? Does it work properly? Besides QTile, what else would you recommend?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.
If you have to learn from scratch anyway I would consider caddy and traefik. I think those might be a bit more modern and user-friendly than nginx.
Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.
One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)
I highly recommend Pistol Whip!
What are you using instead of emacs? I'm very happy with my doom emacs setup and it doesn't feel slow at all imo
Nano. Everything except nano and its forks is weird and bloat.
Have you tried neovim? More powerful than nano, but still super fast.
I'm not talking about performance but learning curve and unnecessary features. I don't really want to learn any key bindings or a whole new ecosystem just for a text editor I use to edit a config once a month.
Also that comment was sarcastic.
