I don't think i3 is attempting to cater to these kinds of enthusiasts.. even from i3wm.org "The usual elitism amongst minimal window managers: Don’t be bloated, don’t be fancy (simple borders are the most decoration we want to have). "
Oh, i see some folks have forked their own version of i3 (i.e. i3-gaps) to add additional features for modding.
I think i3 should remain true to it's initial vision (i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers.)
- pmoriarty 11y agoI agree. Which is why I was surprised to hear the parent poster say: "It's not that i3 is popular among these communities because it's the easiest, but because it looks the coolest and offers the most amount of visual customization." That's not the i3 I know.
- PeCaN 11y agoYeah it's not, I guess the guy uses the useless-gaps patch and maybe some other customizations, otherwise it looks really average IMO (not necessarily a bad thing).
- jarboot 11y agoIt's hardly catering to those enthusiasts, it's just the tool that works best for it. I never really used it for that reason, I was just pointing out something that's popular among younger linux fans on other parts of the web.
