#i3wm

More #NetBSD thoughts: I'm an #i3wm / #sway or #KDE #Plasma guy. I tried #OpenBSD's default wm for about a minute, but it was just too jarring for me. I also used #cwm for a while, and it's actually nicely configurable, but I eventually reverted to i3 on OpenBSD. I haven't tried Sway yet, but #Wayland's supposedly working in "Fish Linux" now. ;) But #ctwm? Look, it's pretty ancient, and it's not a totally perfect fit for my worfklow, but I'm actually kinda diggin' it! It's also probably the most attractive default GUI of any of the BSDs, considering that obsd gives you a pretty loud bright red or bright blue titlebar motif-looking thing (not knocking motif, just the primary color choice), and #FreeBSD gives you (checks notes) no GUI by default. XD ctwm isn't quite as flexible as i3/sway, but it's just configurable enough to keep me coming back and tinkering away at it. The way the warpring function (alt+tab, in other words) works is pretty obtuse (only moving forward or backward in the window list, never re-ordering based on recency), but once I learned how to exclude windows (X11 classes or window titles) from the warpring, it became a ton more usable. I also figured out how to enable active titlebar highlight (it drives me nuts when that's disabled or very subtle, how do you even not understand that basic tenet of usability?) and even how to assign an xpm image to the titlebar so it looks pretty. Fun stuff! I should post another screenshot. ;)

This works perfectly on my .config! bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id mixerctl -w outputs.master++ bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id mixerctl -w outputs.master-- bindsym XF86AudioMute exec --no-startup-id mixerctl -w outputs.master=0 In case it's helpful to anyone. The brightness setting works right out of the box. Now I'm trying to figure out why i3bar doesn't like my iwn0. #netbsd #bsdunix #i3wm  #guufxmmp #guufitalia #guufITA

Por questões de funcionalidade e organização, uso apenas Gerenciador de Janelas i3wm e estou satisfeito com ele. Tenho o XFCE como "backup" e para aproveitar algumas dependências para aplicar temas escuros no i3wm. Mesmo assim, não deixo de admirar a beleza de alguns Desktop Environments (DE), como o KDE Plasma. Zapeando este vídeo, notei que tenho muita dificuldade em identificar a diferença de ambientes como Mate e Cinnamon, por exemplo. Antes de saber o conceito de DE, instalava "flavour" do Mint com um ou com outro e não notava diferença. Acho que tenho um certo "daltonismo" para isso. Quando bato o olho no KDE Plasma, Gnome ou XFCE, identifico na hora; Já os outros DEs, soam meio genéricas, não vejo nada marcante nelas. Por hora, continuo com meu i3wm "rústico" aqui. Sei que há todo um rolê de "ricing", mas dentro dos Gerenciadores de Janela, acho muito bonito o Hyprland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiluQ6dJyL8 #theLinuxExperiment #DesktopEnvironment #DE #XFCE #KdePlasma #Cinnamon #Mate #Gnome #i3wm

Ranking Linux desktop environments for 2026 !
