The Workflow Debate: Are We All Doing Too Much?

We talk about how we work and if we make things harder than they should be. We ask if using many tools, monitors, and configs really helps or just makes life more complex. We talk about macOS, Linux, Omarchy, Nix, and window managers. Everyone shares how they set up their system and what they think is best. It is a long talk with many ideas, jokes, and real thoughts about how people use computers today.
