use i3
Closed this issue · 10 comments
think I'd need to enable this from the gdm login screen. disabling auto-login.
that doesn't boot. huh.
some other i3 threads with setups I can try:
some alternative desktop managers: https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#desktopmanager+enable
note that the displaymanager may matter as well.
other configs for inspiration: https://github.com/search?q=nix+i3&type=Repositories
I might have had trouble from GDM (also see #91), but this works at least from lightdm. yet to try others -- sddm would be sweet.
xterm is still like super ugly though, and not sure yet how to use i3 without it.

xterm is still ugly though; i3 just runs i3-sensible-terminal (see ~/.config/i3/config) which after installing urxvt now defaults to that, but by default is ugly as well.
i3-sensible-terminal says set $TERMINAL.
set; closing.
