Lot of fun if you know what you can do with i3 (and if you have the time too).

You could rice it, but most likely you won't. Being new to linux you're going to consider it an accomplishment when you manage to get it working, even without knowing how to use most of the features. When you finally find the config your sole use for it is to maybe change a keybind, because the actual process for ricing, all the neat ideas you had for it seems impossible looking at the included examples. You'll eventually come to terms with it and live with 2-4 screens with varying programs all fullscreen, and having a convoluted manner of windows alt tabbing. Additionally you will continue to run into problems because you need to put 'export _AWT_JAVA_WM_NONREPARENTING=1' in terminals sometimes before running certain programs but you don't really understand why.

doesn't that wallpaper hurt your eyes?
>>
>>57374729
why do you do this
this is not functional
this is not easy to use
this is not even easy to look at for long periods of time
what the fuck even is that thing on the left
how do you switch windows? do you have a dock or taskbar that autohides?

looks good though

>>57375556
it actually is functional and easy to use and looking at it soothes my soul
that on the left is the visualizer of my music player

not sure what you mean by switching windows, alt+tab/move the mouse over them? there's also other workspaces that have more windows on them
i use dmenu exclusively to launch programs, i guess you could almost call that a taskbar

It's fine, but I prefer a full DE these days.
>>
>>57374465
i3 if you really want to show people how L33T you are. Openbox if you just want something functional, lightweight and fairly configurable. (neither are DE's though)
>>
>>57375957
why display the "Albums" column if it's gonna be cut off to two letters?
>>
>>57377296
these are the two I generally recommend to people

I use both depending on the computer myself

as he said, I find openbox more usable, but I'm sure it's because my i3 is nearly stock while my openbox is fairly customized

what about xmonad

Can confirm. Describes me perfectly.
