Going Back to i3

Added 2022-01-24 15:49:37 +0000 UTC

I've been of the mind that I need to change things up. I know, I know, I change things all the time, always trying new things. But what I really mean, is getting a change of scenery, if that makes sense. I love DWM, and I know that I will come back to it, but I need to spend some time elsewhere in order to appreciate it a bit more.

That was the whole goal behind switching to bswpm for those two weeks. I enjoyed that time, but bspwm isn't really for me. So, I've decided to go back to my roots and give i3 a try again as a daily driver. It used to be my absolute favorite, so I hope that some of that enjoyment can still be had. I don't know if I'll like living in a manual tiler again. BSPWM showed me that I kind of love the master/stack layout.

I guess we'll see. I think setting i3 back up will be half the fun, as usual.

Hope everyone's week is going well so far,

Matt
