Once you get used to i3, there's no going back!
silkevicious@seek too bright, sorry
@silkevicious well, you can just everything dark? I just prefer black on white now.
@seek i do it for my eyes 😃
@silkevicious I bought me glasses with blue light filters, 😄 so now I have no problem staring at white backgrounds. Before that I used to make everything dark.
@seek i have those too but still prefer the dark 😄
anyway i never tried i3, my fav still openbox/fluxbox 😎

@silkevicious they look classic. They are not keyboard centered, are they?
@seek nope. But still very minimal 🙂
@silkevicious cool, I like minimal ones a lot! but now I don't think I will ever move to something other than i3. It's so easy to use now.
I am too lazy to use touch/track pads 😆

@seek with mouse it's just fine. I don't have touchpad!
@silkevicious then it's cool! I like your taste. These days most people I know who use linux go for KDE plasma, Gnome or something fancy like that.
@seek back when i started using linux like 15y ago, KDE (3 now Trinity) weighted a ton, gnome (2 now MATE) was just fine as good compromise between functionality and consume of resources, XFCE (4) didn't meet my taste at that time.
Then the first 2 went away in fancy things to follow other commercial fashions, so i switched to minimal to LXDE/openbox/fluxbox... 🙂

@silkevicious wow cool!
@seek what distro are you using?
@silkevicious these days I use manjaro, because it's the perfect balance for me, not too rolling but will have the updated and stable software.
But I will be moving to something like parabola soon.
@seek i'm on the other side of the penguin... 😜
@silkevicious well now I am curious,what are you using? gento?
@seek
No no i love debian family so i use debian, but lately i'm switching to mxlinux and antix

@silkevicious ahh debian! cool, I am not that used to those. I've only used linux mint and ubuntu when it comes to debian based ones.
@seek ubuntu was my first linux distro, dropped after they introduced Unity.
Then i went on Mint because they provide Mate desktop. Then i grow up and chose better distros 😜
Lately i arrived at mxlinux/antix because of (no) systemd.

@silkevicious cool, why didn't you try any arch based ones?
@seek the only non debian i tried was fedora, and was ok. But mother debian call me home then 😂
I tried to install arch one but gave up, too difficult (but was years ago)

@silkevicious ahh! 😄 I see it's not easy to leave the mother debian.
@seek also, i heard Arch breaks easy?
@silkevicious it's because Arch is a rolling one, but I don't think it would just break for no reason. But anyway something like manjaro won't cause it's in the middle.
@seek i may try it sooner or later, who knows. It's a bit too pop lately for my tastes. I prefer uncommon choices 😜
@silkevicious hahaha me too! that's why I am gonna try something like parabola 😄 but for me mxlinux and antix are also uncommon cause I've never seen them or used them before.
@seek i installed mx on sister notebook (which was totally unusable with win10 on it - superlaggish with only bare OS on it), now it's working greatly, she's enthusiast of it - and she never used linux before!
i installed antix on a 2004ish PC i had when i was at high school and it works! 😂 using like 120MB of RAM or so!

schmorp@silkevicious @seek I dunno, ever since discovering how useful gnome 3s activities overview is and how good it is at getting out of your way it's been sorta hard to get away from it, the only thing that's annoying is the inefficient use of space with the top bar and menu bars
@schmorp @silkevicious well I think if you get used to any DE or WM it's kinda hard to switch. I didn't like gnome because it eats a lot of ram. And I personally don't like when the OS is heavy.
