Any recommendations/guides for how to get i3 running in Xubuntu Core using VirtualBox on a MacBook Pro?

    I probably followed the instructions on that page for using the i3 repos, but it's been long enough that I can't remember doing it or how I did it. But I am using their repos. I don't notice anything explicitly different or better, but i3 isn't one of those things where you're waiting for a new gizmo with anticipation; it just puts up your windows and shuts up about it. I'm on LinuxMint.

  All window-managers are pretty straight forward under linux. Read the documentation.

  Just did this myself. The i3 docs didn't cover the topic. sudo apt-get install i3; xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsafe/Client0_Command -t string -s "i3wm" -t string -s "--replace" -a # logout, login The problem was then that the Alt key wasn't being recognized, possibly due to VirtualBox.
