i3 couples with desktop environments rather nicely. I've used it with KDE and MATE, and others have used it successfully with XFCE.
My success with it with KDE was a little mixed, but I also didn't make any effort to resolve the little issues. With MATE though, it works flawlessly with no downsides or really any config needed. It's fantastic.
Here is how I set it up with MATE: https://www.mattgreer.org/articles/mate-and-i3/ https://www.mattgreer.org/articles/mate-and-i3/
- blaser-waffle 7y agoCheers for the MATE panel applet you put together (that's in the blog post): https://github.com/city41/mate-i3-applet https://github.com/city41/mate-i3-applet Also, got any pictures of the desktop?
- ppseafield 7y agoI also run i3 and MATE. It's a great combo: powerful tiling window manager plus a DE that handles all the settings / control panel well (without me having to do much configuration myself!).
