Tiling window manager like i3 in multiple monitors environment is not that convenient as I thought. Most of the time I just use one monitor. Switching workspace between multiple monitors confuses me.
I used to version whole home directory, turned to stow + dotfiles recently, reasons:
1. maintaining .gitignore is kind of annoying.
2. I don't need all my configuration files on some machines, say a remote sever, you can just stow what you need instead of adding many files to your home.
3. it's not convenient setting up an environment when you already have many files in home, for git clone to a directory not empty is not allowed.
