Then don't use i3, or any tiling window manager.

>>61672717
That's why open source will forever remain shit.

>>61672740
Because it has different tools for different purposes? This has nothing to do with it being open source, this is just you trying to use a tool for a job it wasn't designed for.

fucking trash bait

>>61672708
use the sratchpad then

>>61672765
minimizing a window is a standard, basic feature. If a WM doesn't have it that's not "having a different purpose" that's "being incomplete"

>>61672765
reminder that software which considers itself your master, that presumes to tell you what you can and can't do, is against the basic freedoms open software is about.

>>61672806
>lemme just use this screwdriver to saw this wood!

also you're wrong. it's not telling you how to work because if you need some other functionality you could just write it in yourself

Also, if you make a window fullscreen, your floating on-screen keyboard icon goes away. Fucking great!

Owww, diddums. Are the open source nerds bullying you? It's alright! Not
everyone is capable of forking and adding a feature themselves. Just buy a
commercial project.

Huh, just change your workspace.

Here's the redpill; all women are attention whores, even the shy ones. The differences are that the shy ones don't have the courage to be out and loud with their attention whoring nature.
Women, by their very nature, demand the attention of others as their only sense of fulfilment, similar to how men demand success from themselves as their form of fulfilment.

Do you really need to do that? Sounds like obscure shit and/or PEBKAC,

>>61673007
But anon, there was no shitposting about DA JOOS or politics until someone threw a shitfit about who was in the picture.

Raspberry pi video player. The python wrapper can only hide the video when the window is minimized.

>>61673031
I didn't, my only posts in this thread have been >>61672986 & >>61673022
I just came into the thread because I recognised the picture and knew someone would end up throwing a shitfit; like you did.
I'll say this again;
Nobody was saying a single thing about politics until you (or whoever) decided to throw a shitfit about who was in the picture.
YOUR problem, not ours.

>>61673029
I said nothing. Nor did I comment on the picture. On the other hand, this is how it usually starts:

>>61672708

No, you don't.

The reason you get told to fuck off is because your question and motivation are completely retarded. Can't believe a thread died for this. . .

just stop

While it doesn't matter who they are, I'll just say this much;
They're two women who attention whore for the "alt right" cause. Because they're women, they became pretty popular pretty fast because autistic virgins.
There's nothing really of importance about them, their only feature is that they're sort've pretty.

Literally from the first line from Wikipedia:
>i3 is a tiling window manager...

You actually don't know what all those words mean, do you.

>>61673161
Why are you making it harder on yourself? There are distros like Puppy Linux for older machines.

>>61673164
"tiling" means shit and "manager" means manager

>>61672708

>Ask how to cut a rope with a fork
>Get told to fuck off because that's against the fork's philosophy

Are you open source fags serious? I need to cut one rope to make it stop being long.

>>61673174
You can't run Puppy on ARM.

>>61673196
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:ARM_Linux_distributions

>>61673222
Puppy for raspberry pi is in alpha since forever and was dropped by the dev.

openbox is a nice minimal alternative to tiling WM if you dont want to go with a full blown DE

>>61673247

I think the point of that post was to show distros for ARM.

>>61672708
You'll need to change windows manager. You picked the wrong tool for the job.

>>61673290
Do I need to install 5 window managers on Linux to get one fucking "working" desktop experience?

>>61673323
Linux is just the kernel and doesn't have anything to do with your issue.

If you want a 'fucking "working" desktop experience' you need to install a "Desktop Environment" and not a specialized window manager that you tried because all the "cool kids" use it and later found out that it doesn't fit your use case.

Kidding aside: You "need" one (1) window manager and that window manager will be the one that ticks all your boxes. There's no way for anons on /g/ to pick the right one for you. You'll have to come up with your own requirements and own research online to find the one that suits you.

>Do I need to install 5 window managers..
No, but you can! This is also a way of finding the most suitable window manager. Install and try them all and find out which one works best. Good luck!

>>61673396
>You "need" one (1) window manager and that window manager will be the one that ticks all your boxes.

Give me I3 that can minimize windows.

>>61673004
Lauren is Jewish.

>>61673407
I3 is open source. Fork it and add a minimize feature (and thus destroying the whole point of i3 AND doing an awful lot of work that's already been done on other window managers).

>>61673407
There is none.
The concept of minimizing windows is a crutch for stacking window managers that do not implement workspaces.

>minimizing windows
It's time to move from your parents sweetie. Or stop looking at porn

you're in a resource restrictive environment and you want to minimize instead of close?
shouldn't you be closing at every opportunity?

>>61672708
OP is there a chance that your parents are brother and sister?
This is reason why no one should push Linux to idiots like OP.

I do but it plays them videos in OMX. I can disable video stream but I want to take a look at it from time to time.

When I told /g/ to use open-source alternative to youtube they called me gay and reported me for advertizing.

Really makes you go hmm.

>>61672708
You can put it to the scratchpad, look it up

Are you genuinely retarded or is this an attempt at bait?

>>61673842
No, this is a real issue and a bug in freetard thinking.

>>61673858

Tool meant for job A not able to do job B is not a bug or issue but the wrong selection of the tool.

OP needs a WM that can minimize and i3 isn't that.

>>61673678
Doen't work.
The video is still visible

Why are you so insistent on i3? Why can't you just use xfce or something?

>>61674038
Can you use xfce with keyboard only? Can you make every window fullscreen? No?

>>61672708
XMonad can do this

I don't know if it actually signals the program to stop rendering but switching to another workspace does anyway

>>61673042
edit the python wrapper or the video player to not be shit

>>61672708
Toggle it to floating more and resize it to very small.

>>61674088
>but switching to another workspace does anyway
>>61673109
not really

Create a branch of i3 that fits your needs.
I personally hate these 'muh programmatic philosophy' shitstain developers in the OSC, but they've usually created very strong software. The best thing to do is to fork, and make modularity on their project, so the original becomes obsolete and your fork becomes what people use - because it features modularity in the sense of 'you aren't restrained to some chucklefuck's philosophy'.

That said, I believe you can "roll" i3 windows, but not minimize.
I'd use bspwm if I were you - that said, openbox is also a really decent manager. I'm not sure if anyone's made tiling for it, however

>>61672708
>I want muh minimalism
>Why does it have minimal functions?
This better be bait. Also, use openbox faggot.

>>61674061
Um, yes? It has tiling keys by default, you can fullscreen everything, you can setup xdotool scripts for everything you want and attach keyboard shortcuts to them.

>>61672708
User a stacking or dynamic wm if you want minimizing, tilling has its own philosophy. I love windowmaker, try that.

Stop and look at what you are doing with this thread. It's not our fault that you don't know how to solve your own problem. Just look at the OP you wrote, the way you started this. You constantly insult and belittle us and yet you expect us to help you, even though you caused your own problem. Next time just ask normally.
Describe the problem and how you attempted to solve it. Try to ask better qestions too, for example and adequate question to your problem would be "What's a very lightweight window manager that has the ability to minimize windows?"
The answer to this question is pretty easy to answer because there have been other people who asked themselves the same question before. Just go on the Arch Wiki and look for a list of window managers. There you go. You could also use a search engine to find posts about people who encountered the same problem to see what people recommend. You could also use your package manager to search the repository for a list of window managers. I don't know which package manager you are using so just see the manual, or look up instructions on the net.

It's never the program's fault that you don't how to help yourself.
