I love mouseless movement, i3, vim etc. But for some reason is so coupled with "start from black screen, learn the entire linux system just to increase the brightness or connect a bluetooth speaker" way of thinking.

Why those two has to go together ? Its like saying that a pianist should know also how to modify his piano and be a carpenter.

How can i find good mouseless tools without having to make my own distro and learning all the API's for adding a new language on the keyboard.

xfce + i3.

@mostr4am that means logout from i3 to make the easy stuff to xfce and then back to i3 for the mouseless stuff ?

Regolith Linux is a distro which derives from Ubuntu and has tiling built-in by default, another option is Pop!OS where you can enable it with a single toggle in notification center.

If macOS is more your jam there's the free app Amethist which gives better tiling capabilities to macOS GUI.

You guys above cannot understand that that i can configure my i3wm, but i DONT WANT to do it. You will never reach the level of a ready GUI like gnome regarding utilitities.

I saw recently omakub, a DHH gnome configuration that looks like what i want. You want to be productive. Even Linus is not on that "install arch" train. I installed 3 times arch, and like Linus, i never saw any advantage to it. And unlike many i3 usearchbtw friends i know, DHH had made a tone of money.

Dont get me wrong, to ask about i3 means that i have tinkered a lot through dotfiles, vim-stros, arch, endeavouros etc. But being mouseless and blazingly fast is totally different than learning how the brightness and the monitor arrangment and the touchpad -clickOnTouch works under the hood.

There are times that i just want to write code fast and not build a new GUI.

@DEVil666

i would never expect to thank devil but regolith seems to nail it!!! Thank you so much

@gatoMalicioso nah you can just have the tools from xfce4, and the tray is the same. Honeslty I dont see the difference

@gatoMalicioso i never configured i3 at all outside of putting a background image. I just put xfce for the wifi / bluetooth and the admin I'm used to, and I have a fresh i3 for the rest.

POP OS guys, POP OS!

POP OS guys, POP OS!
