Almost the same, but i3-gaps instead of XFCE. Ubuntu update is just a `do-release-upgrade` and reboot. Nothing changes.
The only thing I don't really like in the Ubuntu's model is the bi-yearly updates and the PPA system. Every time you upgrade the distro the PPA's get disabled and there's a lot of work enabling them and fixing the packages.
That being said, I installed NixOS to my other laptop and after two days got a configuration that just installs and configures everything I need. I might overwrite this Ubuntu installation with it and go rolling with the master.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoWhy gaps, though? I'm not looking to pick a fight at all. I'm only curious. I just don't understand gaps. I've been using i3 for years, and I tried out gaps when it first started popping up in the ricing forums (like https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ [please note, it's not actual porn]). Do you use gaps so that you can see little bits of your background image? Is it purely aesthetic? I can understand beefing up the borders so that there's some space between tiles, but the gaps seem like unnecessary waste of space.
