The most annoying question in response to a linux user asking for help:

"Why would you want to do that?"

I want to replace the window manager in #pantheonDesktop with something like i3gaps. I want the dock and panel and most of the features of pantheon, I just want my windows to be placed automatically into zones.

Doesn't have to be a replacement wm, if gala can do it somehow.

Just finished a look into the brand new @elementary OS 8.1!

Is the move to Wayland by default (Secure Session) ready for prime time? Yes, yes it is. I walk through the installer, test out the new workspace switcher in the dock, and check out the new monitor and other apps.

If you are looking for a polished, Ubuntu 24.04 based experience, this release has a lot of polish to show off. Great for new users!
