Not a DE; does this qualify? :thinking: :sweat_smile:

Great! :smiley:
I plan to add some conky magic, and maybe some rofi click menus. I’m about a week into EOS, and loving it thoroughly!

that is soooo cool! I love it. Do you prefer i3wm instead of a DE? what were you using previously? I might take it for a spin!

Thanks! I used Xfce first (2016; Xubuntu). For the past year, I had been using this distro called Solus. They didn’t have Xfce in their repo. I used Budgie, which is good imo.

I switched to i3 because I wanted a keyboard first interface; plus window managers are a lot less bloat. I tries awesomewm, but that was too difficult configuring for me. Looked up the net and found that i3 is functional as well as beginner friendly. Been using it for a few months now. So kinda yes, I prefer i3wm over a DE.

If you’re using a window manager for the first time, it can take some time to set up.(about an hour if you have no knowledge) But honestly, once you do your first set up, you learn things and from next time you can do it very fast.

My setup is very close to default settings; tell me if you need the dotfiles! :smile:

Edit: Saw your profile, you’ve also come here from Solus. High five! :

Very minor changes.
Also a little too metaphorical given the times?

So i do ask once again :wink: as i do see mostly everyone is not changing the settings of xfce4-terminal do you all like how it shows this toolbar? or would you prefer it more minimal like so with a left click menu only:

Exactly, nothing no scrollbar also, just a click left menu is enought… :rocket:

I guess I haven’t gotten there yet. But I do prefer it minimal

I personally would prefer it minimal out-of-the-box, but since this distro is meant to encourage terminal use for beginners also I think it’s more user-friendly the way it’s now.
