Just a thought about choosing what to put where… Functionality is required, and should be easy (and easy to find help for). I suspect that anyone who thinks they need something totally optimized (lighter, thinner whatever) should be able to make the change for themselves Just like Firefox - there are lighter ways, there may be better ways - but it works well, and nearly everyone can use it. Size and lightness issues tend be more philosophical than physical these days of cheap memory and storage etc. I see the purpose as providing a good start - and let the end user tweak etc.
someone experienced will find his ways to configure and install everything sure, but the idea is a soft start for the configuration of i3 and tiling WM.
So a terminal with an easy way to configure from a graphical menu is more convenient then something like xterm
Exactly what I was thinking - that even led to me importing gnome-terminal on many places, just to know NOW how to configure it. I know there are many effective alternatives, but… Now that I’ve had time to look others, I could get by with many of them - xfce’s default for one. Same thing happens with editing - I used to import gedit as a middle ground - now I find Leafpad is enough for anything I don’t need vs-Code for. So there I would suggest leafpad - and it CAN edit in sudo mode if needed. Of course, I don’t enough about xed to have an opinion on it yet
From there, the learning can begin for those wanting to.
I think nano is a life-saver! I quickly learned to add it to the pacstrap command when installing Arch directly! It is certainly a good fallback position!
O - I’ll bite. What is micro - and what is the package name? I tried a quick look for it, and got 472 possibilities - a bit too many to try to recognize it in! Inquiring minds…
