You'll notice that the more performance has a direct relationship to price, and complexity has an inverse relationship to price. Something that you set up that's highly complex is likely to be free, but easy and user-friendly tools may be paid, with price increasing the more performant and feature-rich they are.

- https://suckless.org/ is a wonderful resource for in-depth explanations of why a certain piece of software [sucks](https://suckless.org/sucks/) or [rocks](https://suckless.org/rocks/). However, it's limited to a very specific set of programs.

## OS/Configuration

I run Fedora Linux with the GNOME desktop environment. I was a longtime Windows 10 user, and dabbled in Linux a bit, but eventually got fed up enough with Windows that I swapped for good.

I’ve daily driven XFCE, Budgie, Unity, and KDE before. No DE really caught my eye in a way that feels both intuitive and productive until GNOME. The overview is such a neat concept that’s performant, useful for rapid task switching, and pretty. I recommend the Blur My Shell extension for best results, as well as an extension that gives you trackpad gestures for your windowing system.
|

- Little tip for productivity: if you use gestures, throw each new window on a different workspace and swipe instead of alt-tabbing.
