Configuration file is also quite simple. +I'm just too lazy to get myself used to it. + +#dwm +A window manager I once disliked alongside i3 for no reason at all, besides from extreme shilling from some of its users. +Only issue I had with it was because of conflicts with profanity and weechat, so I ended up recompiling it from the FreeBSD Ports tree and it uses the Win key instead of Alt. +It became my second-favorite window manager, and I use it as vanilla as possible, mainly to avoid it turning it to shit. + +#i3 +At first, just like with dwm I got very weirded out because I came from using w9wm, its perfect opposite. +Adapted myself quite quickly to it over time, and eventually became second nature to me. +It's pretty smooth from my experience. +At least I was looking to make more use of my keyboard, and I guess I've already achieved that with tiling window managers. \ No newline at end of file |
