I use xmonad (https://xmonad.org/) and Qtile (https://qtile.org/). I love them. Another interesting option would be notionwm (https://notionwm.net/)

Good thread friend. As I said in mastodon:: anarco-syndicalism also forces the workers to work. As a historical example you have the Spanish civil war, where the anarchist union, the CNT, forced the workers to work, repressing and punishing those who worked less. I've expanded the message there. It's a good start anyway. I also started in the anti-capitalist field with ideas similar to yours.
Spotify has fraudulent practices, so morality forces me not to give him income. All my music comes from Soulseek.
Here's a link for you to get an idea of what I'm talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_over_fake_artists_on_Spotify
What other option is there, other than Spotify? I doubt much that buying all the albums I hear is an option, as I hear a lot of music.
That sounds good.
The problem with "the socialist / communist countries" is that capitalist social relations, especially production relations, were not abolished in those territories. In China, the Soviet Union or Cuba, wage labour and commodities continue to exist, despite doing so in different forms than in the West. I would not therefore say that these countries are an example of communism. The only thing that changes is the way capitalism is managed.
Having said that, I think that once the communist ideal is reached, through the insurrection, consumerism will diminish. Obviously, this fall in consumerism, from a capitalist perspective, could be seen as poverty, because they do not take into account the sustainability of the planet and its resources. As for health: Medicine and health have become one more commodity in this capitalist system. I think we need to recover community self-care to avoid medical iatrogenesis and we need to eliminate the root cause of the social, economic, hygienic, etc., aspects that make our bodies and minds sick. This is what Ivan Illich talks about in "Medical Nemesis," a book I recommend.
I'm going to try Mullvad Leta as my main search engine for a few weeks to see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion — I had no idea it even existed. BTW, even though I use NordVPN, I love Mullvad VPN for the privacy it offers to the users. In a couple of months, when my Nord subscription ends, I'll switch to Mullvad.
