What the fuck.
It'd be so pretty though.

Oh shit I meant switch from i3-wm to i3-gaps fuck

But vscode is better

You should get out of this while it's not too late.
Dive too deep in this and you will never be able to recover and get to willfully work in a full blown DE and use a heavy IDE. You will be stuck forever in a loop focused on debloating, editing config files, trying prove yourself Vim or Emacs is a blessing and that you can live without what is considered as a standard everywhere else

>not understanding that configuring the editor is an end in itself

No it isn't because you'll get tired of it after a week at most and waste more time ricing it.
My productivity increased nearly tenfold after I stopped using Gnoo Slash Loonie Toonix to an unactivated W10 where the only thing I can customize is the wallpaper.

in my case, i3wm actually saved me from "remove all bloatz reeeee!!1". I was seriously thinking about going full TTY+tmux, and using xserver only for images/videos when possible.

i3wm added bloat for me: "auto-tiling", "stacking", and "easy workspaces".

Plus it requires me to context switch between "mod+arrow"(i3wm), "alt+arrow"(tmux), and "ctrl+pgup/down"(firefox). Plus I fuck up working with workspaces all the times. Overall, I'm probably slightly slower with i3wm, yet it's infinitely more comfortable than anything I've tried.

Most importantly of all though - it looks minimalist and 1337 h4x0r.

stop being autistic about file previews
