- timrichard 9y agoFor anyone more into Vim and Tmux, then i3 fits like a glove. Got it running under Arch on an XPS-13. Best Linux machine I've ever set up, and it looks gorgeous. A lot of fun theming it, with lots of inspiration from : https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/
- cjsuk 9y agoI tried that but I just can't get used to i3. I spend most of my time in tmux but there are some cases where I just can't make it work for me. I might be a dumbass or just lazy though :)
- dingo_bat 9y agoSame here. I simply cannot work with i3. I think my brain stops working when I try tiling systems. Wish my childhood was not so completely immersed in windows.
- xvilka 9y agoFor quick installation of the usable system I usually use Fedora + KDE environment. It is always updated and KDE is easy to use. On the computers where I do need maximum working performance I do customize awesome (or Xmonad lately) plus many-many terminal applications. But if you don't want to waste your time on heavy customizations - imho, Fedora (27 will be released in a couple days) is a good choice.
- cjsuk 9y agoI'll have a look at KDE. I haven't actually used it for 16 years :)
