The goal is to have a minimal working setup, without using AUR package builds…
I would like to have a nice configurable terminal, but taking care of minimal dependency here too.
I am a Vivaldi user too, using herecura Repo.
Default Browser will be Firefox, it is the only non chromium option.
And as always it is easy to install your Browser of choice. And also something we could have a wiki page for.
@joekamprad, I understand what you are saying… and I agree with a minimal, no-AUR setup… I think that in any case, the people who will install i3 as a WM it’s also capable of set up the other stuff…
Maybe we can add in the wiki something like “things to do after the install” or “beautify your EOS-i3 if you want” with ideas or recommendations.

And so on and so on so giving a working simple solution is the way to go, if you will use something like i3 you need to get into the configs and need to tinker on it.
I agree with the minimal setup. There are 2 kinds of people, as far as we are concerned:
Those who already use i3;
Those who will try i3;
For the first group, they already have a personal config so keeping it minimal is the way to go. For the second group of people, they will want to create their own “version/config” of i3, so keeping it minimal is also the way to go.
I suggest, therefore, i3wm (no gaps), i3lock, bash (no zsh, even though I use it), firefox, pcmanfm, vim. Though now i3locks-contrib is in the aur, that should perhaps be added as well?
Alright, that’s good! Also, please avoid using conky stuff! Is there any ETA for when i3 will be available? I plan to format my computer soon and I want to use EOS.
but there are a lot other options:
… solution for panel apps like whisker menu??
