    Can somebody please explain what the fuck that i3 thing is? Everyone keeps mentioning it but all I find on the interwebs is BMW models, intel chips and desktops filled with nothing but terminals

    @Froot What @Cyanide said if you want more information.
    Basically, it's a tiling windows manager. Think the "snap to edge" feature of Windows

    Oh cool. Is it better than the one built into gnome?

    It's just another window manager afaik, like gnome or unity 🤔

    @Froot If you love your terminal and only use a mouse as a paperweight, sure, go for it!

    @Jilano So it only works with terminals then?
  • 1
    @Froot no, you can use terminals to open applications and organize from there

    @ParkCity Hmm ok. So no conventional desktop with icons and the like?
  • 1
    @Froot yup, no icons. and to start, no background image - you can set one though. you start out your time in session by opening up a terminal, and open other applications that way. there IS mouse support, in case you wanna browse the web, use a file manager, etc...
