I reproduced the key shortcut I was using (win+z) to send the window to the scratchpad/desktop 12. It turns out I created 12 desktops and use the 12th desktop as scratchpad. This was initially a kind of blocker for me. I removed most of the modules and only kept the CPU state, date, desktops and tray. I found most theme overwhelming and I was looking for something lighter.
And I’m not unhappy to have i3 around, should I mess up something in bspwm. Those are pulled automatically in the i3 spin. You can probably start with a minimal Fedora Server install but you would have to figure out the LightDM and audio stuff. This means I don’t pull all the Gnome dependencies and the i3 spin brings LightDM, which I like better. I use the i3 spin to bootstrap my bspwm installation (using Ansible playbooks). Lenovo t14s with 32GB of RAM and 1TB NVME. At the very least it can give some ideas. I have my own workflows and have no pretension that this is the best way to organize your environment. This desktop environment is probably not for you. I’m going to go over my current desktop environment and workflows in this post. The second biggest improvement is how you can easily reorganize and resize your windows: This is one of the biggest improvement for me. In i3wm, if you open 5 terminals in the same desktop you get 5 “columns”. I started looking at how other tiling window managers were handling things and decided to give bspwm a try.Īfter some tests I made the move in September, because it is indeed easier to manage windows, I really liked the “client” (called bspc allowing you to “talk” to the server component) and it also felt slightly lighter. In May 2021, I changed role at Red Hat, requiring me to present and share my screen a lot more than when I was a consultant. In December 2019, I wrote about my Linux desktop environment running i3wm. 💻 My Linux desktop environment (2021 update) OctoMoving from i3wm to bspwm 💻 My Linux desktop environment (2021 update) Sebastien Wains
