I've never liked a desktop as much as the one I have now 🐎. There is no turning back.

@binsrc Nice, looks slick... im on a qtile rice right now but also have a i3 rice going. I <3 tiling window managers

@freemo lol (https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/3iy3wd/stupid_question_what_is_ricing/) i had no idea. Well, I'm doing a server some time this week. Maybe I should try one of these tiling window managers and see how hard I crash and burn. 😆

@binsrc They are amazing in terms of productivity IMO.. once i moved to one I cant stand regular WM anymore.

@freemo which one out of qtile and i3 makes you feel happy to be alive, (i'll try that one)? I'm guessing qtile.

@binsrc well... qtile if you spend a ton of time configuring it. its python based and more extensible than i3... i3 is a bit nicer out of the box though and easier to get working quickly.

I went with qtile as my primary simply because i had very specific behaviors i wanted to define that would have been hard to do in i3

i3 is **far** more popular than qtile so im more likely to recommend that for someone.

Both choices are going to be minimalistic advanced WM. Coming from GNOME you may find it to lack the user-friendly nature of GNOME. The expiernce will be closer to other minimalistic WM where you have to invest some time to get all the bits and bobs doing what you want.

@binsrc Also if you decide to go with i3 but want to use Wayland instead of Xorg (a more modern replacement) consider using sway. It is basically a port of i3 to wayland. Its pretty nice too.

@freemo cool, thanks for the advice. I don't think I'll break my gnome habit any time soon but I am definitely curious.
