That’s fair. I wasn’t trying to use “evil” in that way, but I understand your perspective. Their goal for the most part of still the same, I was just thinking about Google’s catchphrase “Don’t be evil” and then they started not really following that. To me this feels somewhat similar, a wavering of sticking to proton’s goals

I use niri since it solves the issues of positioning that you have with stacking window managers and the amount of organization needed for a tiling window manager. I can add many related windows to the same row and use super+the horizontal scroll on my mouse to scroll between windows, and the normal scroll to scroll between workspaces. I have common apps and shortcuts bound to hotkeys, but I prefer a mainly mouse-driven workflow so for everything else I am just dragging things around.

In my browser I have a collapsed left sidebar for tabs and a collapsed top bar for navigation which I can hover to reveal, so all I see by default is the webpage.

What is the separate system?

This looks entirely identical to freetube
