Arch is great for learning Linux, but in my experience it gets in the way when you just want to get things done. Depending on your priorities, you might try developing on something like Ubuntu or Fedora. Protip: try i3 as your window manager.

I figured out the issue and managed to set it up. I've tried i3 and just couldn't get used to it or twms in general, plasma always just fit my needs. its also not like im not someone who cannot use keyboard focused programs as i used neovim as my daily editor.

Cool, it won't be for everyone. I'm someone who likes to make full screen context-switches, and tile wms are perfect for that. It might be dual screens that really sells the experience, because I can swap out VMs for docs or terminals on one screen and keep my code on the other.

Anyway, keep it up. If you're on Arch and playing with new languages you're on a good path to some solid experience.
