It’s now more than a decade old and considered feature-complete 2 years back. But the basic usage is still the same since its initial launch. No matter how many versions of Windows or Gnome or KDE come and go, I use i3 in the same as I did when it launched. I don’t need “new” features because the existing features are more than enough.
I fell completely in love by the look and practicality of what i see and listen about i3wm. It all started when exploring unixporn on reddit.
It’s one of the things that make me sad for not being linux-savvy and even if I was I couldn’t use it for my daily driver because my company/team work is based on the whole Microsoft Office ecosystem.
So I just contemplate the minimalist beauty of it.

This. After the initial learning for i3wm I never looked back.
And I dread the times where I have to use something else (work environment…)

sway is the wayland based modern alternative that I use (and prefer). It does not do anything flashy and most i3 config options work just the same.
I’ve been thinking of switching to sway/hyprland but i3/x11 is not causing enough of a pain to justify the switch.
