### Some tweaks/tips
- Disable the "Activities" hot corner, it's very annoying.
- Disable the "Activities" hot corner if you don't like it.
- Set a fixed number of workspaces. That way, you can have pre-defined apps for each workspace number.
- If an app supports Wayland, please use it, it will improve your experience by a lot. Running apps through Xwayland is not bad, but it's not the same as running them natively and you'll notice it.
- You can use [xorg-xeyes](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xorg-xeyes/) to check if an app is running through Xwayland or not, just run `xeyes` in your terminal and move the mouse on the app's surface. If you see the eyes moving, it's running through Xwayland, if you don't, it's running natively.

Let me share what I've learned after 13 years of using Linux as my main operating system.
## Background
I started using Linux in 2011, I was a Windows user, but I was curious about Linux, so I decided to give it a try. I started with Ubuntu, and I was very happy with it, but I wanted to learn more about Linux, so I decided to try ArchLinux, and I've been using it since then.
