Top 10 Best Desktop Environments in 2020
People who’re deep into Linux, love Openbox’s simplicity. It’s extremely lightweight, and comes with only a text-based right-click menu that lists all your applications. The menu is customizable too, and you can add scripts or functions within the menu as a link.

  • I was a MacOS hater until...
    Especially if you recently migrated from Windows, I'm sure you'll like HyperSwitch. It's lag-free, keyboard window switcher. Show all apps with it's windows in one list, like in windows. But I'm not sure it works on arm, my mpb on intel. Source: about 1 year ago
  • All* my macOS keyboard shortcuts
    As a millennial, the first thing I do when I get a new Macbook is install Hyperswitch [1] which makes Cmd+Tab cycle through all windows of all applications of the current desktop. The regular OSX workflow seems to be only good for a workflow that includes a single maximised Chrome window with a million tabs open.

  • Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
    I use hyperswitch: https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch Unrelated, I also use Hyperdock, from the same developer, to get the dock into the 21st century. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Make shortcuts and buttons behave like windows
    Hyperswitch https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch Cleans up cmd+tab to only active windows (instead of all non-closed apps). Source: about 3 years ago
