This. Never understood why people make it harder on themselves.
muh ricing
I'd hate to think you'd feel the same way when maintaining servers
its not a server though, its my desktop or laptop. gnome is comfy, there is no fussing with it. it uses less than 1 gig on idle with arch.
to be serious for a moment, we don't do it to make it harder simply for the memes and tho they do exist I hate fags who do it for "muh le epic rice. kek macfags only chabge wallpaper". It makes since that doing any sequence of actions over and over everyday, the milliseconds between keystrokes start to feel slow and prohibitive (entire seconds if god forbid, I have to reach for the mouse). To give an example; in Windows' Explorer, to append to a file's name (as quick as possible using the keyboard), I'd have to press the context menu key (assuming I even have one), 'm' for rena'm'e, End, then left arrow four times to position the cursor before the extension (Ctrl arrows to jump words doesn't work here). That's seven fucking keystrokes before I'm even adding characters. In ranger, I'd simply strike the 'a' key. I'm not saying that your 65 year old grandma should use i3 and terminal applications, but anybody the least bit savvy and who has half a brain should be able to see the list efficiency here and should always look to improve their setup. Same way most of you fags are savvy with hardware.
I obviously didn't start out on i3. I went from XP->7->Ubongo Unity->Gaynome->i3. I started using using it after 5 years on Linux when I realised that spending an afternoon tailoring my setup by drafting some scripts and configs would be well worth the time investment.
