The i3 Window Manager - So Much Better Than I First Thought!

When I last looked at i3 I was very new to tiling window managers and I just couldn't find my comfort level in i3. My fault entirely, because when I subsequently jumped to BSPWM I forced myself to use it for several months and ended up loving it.

Looking back I believe I didn't really give i3 a fair chance, so it deserves a second look. Of course, we have the wayland thing eventually threatening the continuation of x window managers at some point in the future and that has been on my mind as well. There's Sway of course, but I didn't feel ready to review that until I'd returned to i3. So here is my video doing just that.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
