Mr. Matt @matt

It seems to me that, on #Debian at least, if you want to run #i3wm it's also a good idea to at least install #XFCE alongside it. So many useful utilities that go well together.

@matt Xfce just truly works for me. 4.14 in much anticipation! 💪

@Linux yeah, well here's hoping that 4.14 is finished in time for Debian Buster's release :) :debian: :xubuntu:

@matt That was actually my biggest issue with going minimalist. It's not so bad on the desktop, but I came to love XFCE because I was using so many parts of it anyway.

And also hooray for modularity.

@matt for sure, I use awesome sometimes but I always install it on top of gnome because otherwise there is just way too much stuff missing.

@hund just odd bits of software here and there mostly.
