I second this. i3 is probably the best WM ever made. It's dead simple to configure, endlessly configurable, but also works right out of the box. And three keyboard shortcuts ($mod+d, $mod+Q, $mod+E) are all you ever need to learn (although I'd certainly recommend learning all of them.
It's just better. The same way that vi and emacs are better than Notepad and Gedit.
- zeveb 10y agoTake a look at stumpwm sometime … it's a tiling WM written in Lisp. Only problem is that the default command key is, frankly, insane (C-t). That's easily fixed, though. I need to give i3 a shot, though, and port some of its functionality!
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThat does look nice, but I'm dubious as to whether it could match the convenience of i3 for me: They're philosophical opposites. The nice thing about stumpwm is that you can hack your WM to fit your purposes. The nice thing about i3 is that while you can customize it to a greater or lesser extent, you almost never need to. it just works, right out of the box.
