I3-gapps WM on Zorin 16 lite pro

[marko94]

Hi guys,
I was bored and wanted to try something else on Zorin. As on Endeavour os I mostly used i3 WM , I want to try it here also. It is not easy as on Arch ( Ubuntu is kind of heavy, complicated , and for one easy thing instead one command you need 3 or more

But here we are :

It needs more theming etc, but for now that is it.

So I completely removed xfwm4 and xfdesktop.
And added i3wm which is lighter.

Also I removed all Xfce keybindings and added i3 ones.
So mostly everything is keyboard navigated.

That is it for now xD

Thanks for this great writing up, @marko94

I think the same thing would be impossible with GNOME desktop.
I am seriously contemplating to switch my main desktop to Lite Pro.

I added a tag and moved the thread to Chat area to encourage active discussions.

It is possible on gnome also, but I dont like Gnome anymore so.

Generally I don't like Ubuntu that lot as other distros, but Zorin with Xfce is far better. Lighter, smoother

For now all good, no issues at all. Far stable than Gnome version

i heard terminator can replace tilling.

Terminator with Quake-like Mode

Install Terminator With Built-In "Quake" Mode

But that is just about terminal. WM is totally different thing

Then why people writing some weird histories this can replace i3 tilling?

xfwm4 and xfdesktop

Can anyone post a screenshoot of those two from "session and startup" from session tab and application autostart.. I forgot to make a backup , and now don't know how to add them back xD

I may have different things than you do... But this should still be helpful...
