OK, that's not quite right; I used Linux more-or-less all day before, and I still do now, but now I spend more time really getting my hands dirty with the internals of servers. As my interactions have changed, my preferred method of interacting with my computers has changed as well. I've started re-learning all the Vim keybindings that I forgot when most of my work was done in word processors, and I usually have an over-complex tmux session running in a terminal. (I'm sure I spend at least 10% of my time trying to find the right session, just like I spend about the same amount of time trying to find which web browser tab the thing I want is in.) All this means I spend most of my time with my hands on the keyboard rather than the mouse, and I've been thinking more and more about switching away from my trusty Unity desktop to a tiled window manager. It seems I'm not the only person with this on his mind at the moment, as Mike Saunders has already taken the plunge; I'll read his tutorial in this month's issue before making the switch myself.
