I3-gaps

Not him but I've tried KDE some time ago and it felt too kitchen-sinky and it didn't look as good as stock Manjaro Xfce, like, too much space here, not enough space there, icons have too many details which throws away balance, big ass clock, this kind of stuff and I didn't feel like trying to fix it all

i've yet to see a wm/de that the manjaro devs haven't made look sexy. it's a shame they ship so much bloat, even on the """"""""minimal"""""""" installs.

Based

i'm using i3wm on my lfs 8.4 based custom distro, it's just the comfiest thing ever for me. i've gone through dwm, bspwm+sxkhd, wmaker and openbox but it all ended up with me trying to emulate my """workflow""" i had with i3.

How?

Code base is much too big for a project that doesn't want to include features like gaps

XFCE isn't as lightweight as lxde or lxqt, it gives up portability for usability, same as i3. And if you have a computer that can't handle i3 well you should buy a new one or you shouldn't use a GUI at all.

Ayy I'm in that boat.

Parabola tho. And a more standard wallpaper.

i3 is bloated as fuck use DWM faggot

I tried using i3 for around a month, it's hell when you have only one hand free and need to move or resize windows.

Also, there was no GUI for settings, which I didn't like.

Is it a good or bad thing that we're using an Arch-based distro?

Also,

These things aren't true, but you're right about the other stuff. I do dual-boot Windows 10 and Manjaro and use one of the default wallpapers provided.

Why do you need to move/resize windows while jacking off?
You could always rebind everything to be closer to whichever hand you'd use most.

is that a new meme? havent encountered that yet, any examples

games.
that's literally the only reason

Never gonna make it.

I got loads of features

1999fag, all my friends use Windows and I like to play games. Plus I’m in school and have to use Windows software. I’ve got Kali Linux on my second SSD

>I’m 1999 bro!!
More like 2009, Wrong website summerfag, go back to shitscord.

im too retarded to transition to some other sort of cad software that works on linux and i dont like using wine. i boot to linux mint when im not working with cad software.
>t. zoomer

excluding rgb and wallpaper it's not zoomer
doubt they actually use linux, it's a just guy who just discovered and got into linux ricing cause that's me 5 years ago

this is hate speech btw :)

>r/unixporn
What the fuck, do people actually think those desktops look good? There's like 1 out of 50 that looks acceptable, the rest is straight garbage or generic i3.

everything zoomers do is bad by default you see

stuff like this

love them purple wallpapers
gotta moar of them user?

Go back to R*ddit and kys

God I wish that were me

...the text not the image

i dont think zoomers use linux

no, ok :)

I'm a boomer and I use windows primarily, I only use linux for work or research related tasks, as it should be.

I have never used either and have little knowledge of both.
What's i3 and bspwm, and what's the major differences?

both of these are tiling window managers, which you can control using only a keyboard, they tile windows to divide the screen space, by splitting it into squares and rectangles
traditional window managers are what you would call "floating" or "stacking", which allow free form placements of windows.
a lot of window managers support both, but focus on one, for example on KDE's window manager you can tile a window to half a screen by moving it to the left or right of your screen. it is still a floating window manager though.

bspwm represents windows as leaves of a binary tree. what this means is that when one window is split, it will be halved. so if you split a fullscreen twice, it will split it down the middle, and then the active window, usually horizontally. i3, however, requires you to manually select this, so by default it will split the screen into 3 thirds.
bspwm also has useful keybinds for cycling through windows, and rotating the windows themselves around, as well as swapping the active window with a target one. i3 is worse imo but it requires minimal configuration to be usable and is still extensible and customisable, so it is more popular

>not ricing xfce or mate to look like win95-2000

why do neckbeard hipster fedora wearing basement dwelling faggots love linux so much?

>mate
always did this with xfce and lxde but never with mate. I didn't even know mate was rice-able.

Linux is the most used kernel in the world, zoomer. Used even more than the Wangblows kernel.

what's wrong with RGB keyboards? they're dirt cheap and ensure the buyer can choose any backlighting color they want. why do you think streamlining the manufacturing process is a bad thing?

>pixel """"art""""

what is polybar?

I use i3, a black background sitting on Fedora

keyboard is backlit white only

am I a zoomer?

windows is for boomers while linux is for genx autists and Jow Forums zoomers

i3-gaps
polybar
Ubuntu
Alacritty

doesn't support my daws (except based renoise)

it's a panel thingy like in other des like xfce but it's more lgihtweight so it it fits tohether with wms

>keyboard is backlit white only

Delete this right now I feel personally attacked that shit's aesthetic

An i3 customization GUI would work really well for about half of the configuration options, but I don't know how you'd handle keybindings or anything using window criteria and have it be more convenient than just using a text editor.

Let's go down the checklist

>i3-gaps
Yes. Am also getting into DWM and using LXQT on my other machine.
>polybar
Yes. i3-bar sucks my left nut and there is no good, resource efficient replacement that doesn't suck in one way or another.
>manjaro
No. Not to meme, but I use Arch btw. Jumping head first into Linux as a techie Windows user, its extremely freeing being able to only install what you need and nothing more. 390MB RAM idle, nuff said.
>plasma
No? You mean KDE Plasma or a Plasma Monitor?
>dual booting with windows 10
No. Finally free of Microshafts Niggerlemetry as of march this year.
>r/unixporn
No. I tend to stay away from circle jerking subreddits about tech. Jow Forums is ripe with that stuff already, waste of time scrolling through the same stuff twice.
>rgb keyboard
NO. If I want any of my peripherals to look like a spaceship that's hosting a gay rave, I will arrange that myself... Can't believe to zoomers RGB is almost like a seal of quality.
>generic purple wallpaper
No. Most of my wallpapers are either nautre, skyline or monochrome themed. Don't know why purple wallpapers stick out as zoomer-ish to you.

And that is a good thing for Linux.

>apps

Why would one want a backlit keyboard in first place? Especially one with backlight color other than plain white? It's not like you're going to type in pitch black room, your eyes will hurt if you're stare at the only light source which is the display, anyways.

Thank you, my child.
