Stick with i3!

For anyone who wants i3 but doesn't want to configure it, the only other option I know of was regolith:

https://regolith-desktop.com/ or https://regolith-linux.org/

This looks like a nice fit for my xfwm machine and I'm excited to try it.



Stuff like Regolith is great, but do yourself a favor and invest some time in making your desktop your own - it makes a world of difference in terms of efficiency, and you get to learn how all these applications work, what they're capable of, etc.


Seriously - i3 config isn't that complicated and the documentation/community is great.


Having been part of the i3 community for many years, yes it is, and thanks!


I agree. I've only used regolith once, and it was a work computer that I didn't feel like copying my config to and didn't want to spend time configuring from scratch. It was nice in that case.
