I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.
I told my wife, “but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.” And that was that.
I shall tell this story to my grandkids.

Wow, that sums up my Linux life pretty well actually
Does your Windows do this? *doesn’t crash*
But seriously, yesterday I cloned my main partition to a new laptop into an LVM volume on LUKS. Because I did not have any way of putting the new NVMe and old SATA SSD into one machine, I just used netcat over an ad hoc network.
nc -l 10000 > /dev/main/root
on the new Laptop and
cat /dev/sda3 | nc 10.31.69.1 10000 -q 0
on the old one. Worked perfectly. Now do that on Windows with builtin tools in live boots.

More like do that in Windows with any tools. It doesn’t like being moved to different hardware one bit.
Next time you could even add gzip or some other compression and save yourself a bit of time and bandwidth.
Just switched last night!!!
So far it’s been great, but I need a way to migrate over my keybindings from xmodmap. I tried searching but everywhere I go gives a different answer. Can anyone help guide me in a direction? I’m primarily looking to remap caps to escape/control on hold. Would be great to remap some unused keys on my laptops keyboard to media keys as well. Thanks!!
Have you tried the instructions on their github page?
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#keyboard-layout
I haven’t tried that, but would be happy about a feedback from you if it works. So that I know what to do if I switch from Herbstluft to Sway one day.
