macOS Tiling Windows Setup for Data Engineers & Writers | yabai + skhd

My macOS productivity setup as a data engineer & writer - featuring workspaces, window tiling, keyboard shortcuts, and terminal workflows. Documenting my workflow before switching to Linux.

TOOLS COVERED:
yabai + skhd (window tiling & shortcuts)
Raycast (spotlight replacement + file search)
tmux (terminal multiplexing)
Obsidian (note-taking workflow)
Karabiner Elements (keyboard customization)
Workspace management (6-desktop setup)
One shortcut switching between apps
Local development workflow (blog, book, website)

KEY WORKFLOWS:
Alt+1: Terminal | Alt+2: Browser | Alt+3: Notes | Alt+4: Slack | Alt+5: Calendar
Plus instant file search, vim navigation everywhere, and seamless app switching!

WHY I'M TRYING LINUX:
Tired of macOS bloat, background processes, constant permission requests, and AI push notifications. Testing Omarchy (one-line Arch Linux setup) that feels faster than my M1 Max MacBook.
