>>53492469
It's a 980Ti, and I'm running dual monitors, one at 60Hz the other at 59.97Hz.
I'm sure there's a pretty easy way to fix it I just haven't been fucked enough to keep playing with it.
Because OSX now supports native tiling
>>53492603

>>53491136
Because I don't have enough screen space to justify using a tiling WM. Fell for the 1366x768 meme.
>>53491136
Because I'm not a huge autist.
Windows can overlap and they should overlap.
Any WM can do tiling... why would you use one that *ONLY* does tiling and nothing else?
Because based spectrwm.
I don't like the manual tilling of i3.
>>53491136
your desktop is making me consider switching from i3 to awesome or something. I just started tinkering with i3 but is it even possible to get a good looking desktop with i3? Should I try?
>>53492935
Not how I normally am set up desu. Its the smallest I could make the terminal while showing my screenfetch.
>>53492817
>Any WM can do tiling... why would you use one that *ONLY* does tiling and nothing else?
Basically every tilling wm has floating mode, because sadly some programs are shit and assume a window management model, which they shouldn't.
>>53491136
Because I'm using Unity
>>53491136
normally I do on systems with limited screen space
but I'm not a dipshit who needs his hand held by his window manager to be "productive"

I have 3 monitors and it would just hinder me, I'm used to how windows did things, and gnome3 best resembles how I interacted with windows
Because i like being able to have windows that i'm not looking at out of the way.
I'll stick with openbox + tint2
>>53494230
>good change is bad

I'd rather not bother with a entirely different way of doing things, and I don't have the time to fuck with config files, which i3 requires to get any use out of it

>>53494984
They should work, unless you have a keybind in the i3 config that overrides it.

May I ask why you are using Ubuntu with i3, as one of the only advantages of Ubuntu is its DE. Not trying to h8, just curious.
I use it on my laptop that I use as an HTPC. Otherwise I use openbox on everything else
>>53492541
>>53492469
pretty sure screen tearing with an nvidia gpu is literally unfixable without switching to the open source driver and/or wayland
>>53496666
Ubuntu has the best consumer-grade support. Plus you can download the .min version and have a bare-bones installation (not that this cuck did, 2232 packages top KEK)
>>53492603

Because it only saves me 100 MBs of RAM over LXDE which is next to nothing with the amount of RAM my computer has while offering significantly less features.

>>53501192
>dublo II lod
muh niggr
>>53501146
bspwm in itself is not hard or long at all to configure but sxhkd (which manages keyboard shortcuts) can be a bit of a pain. Fortunately you can find plenty of examples configs that will do 99% of what you need.
I'm still not 100% satisfied with mine and still tweak it from time to time but it is more than usable.
>What about sharing a webm of your screen?
Not sure what to show off. What would you like to see? It's still a tiling WM and pretty much behaves like any other.

Someone please explain the point of using tiling WM on a 1366*768 screen.
>>53502206
You don't constantly have to use your mouse to move overlapping windows.
>>53502206
It just werks. And I can switch between windows faster. As well as just looking nice and tidy in general.
>>53502206
You don't have to use a mouse when you're using your memepad
>>53496134
OP here. Not really any reason to change, both Awesome and i3 are good WMs and if you are as comfy with Awesome as I am with i3 that's completely fine.
>>53495392
>>53496134
>>53502533
i3wm shines where awesome lacks flexibility: in the multimonitor settings. I've used awesome wm, and it places n "desktops" for every monitor, and it's almost impossible to move those "desktops" among monitors.
Also, the tiling is authomatic: you decide the placement of the windows and they place themselves that way. Wanna change? no way: you stay that way and it's cumbersome to organize them differently.
On the other hand, i3 has N "desktops" and M monitors, and you can decide on which monitor a "desktop" may be placed. It also has a "buffer desktop", similar to the copy+paste one, for those windows that you wanna see only rarely (to monitor its progress, or similia)
Also, the tiling is manual: you place your shit wherever you want, and if you want it otherwise - there are shortcuts that help you to do so.
IMHO, this is the most flexible WM ever. Up to this moment I tried: awesome, xmonad, herbstluftwm and i3. I may find something more pleasant, though; But, apart from bspwm - I highly doubt that.
>>53494834
why not mod+F onto the window you're using (in this case Firefox)? literally not maximizing your screen real estate.
>>53502680
Because I like to see my temps and have access to the terminal whenever I please. Only time I need to maximize it is when I am watching a movie or video.
>>53502711
write a bash script and put it in your i3bar, then; I did something similar, but only with the CPU1 temps. Gotta monitor them when I play muh gaems on playonlinux
also
>muh gentoo compiling times
that's pretty computationally heavy too; adds about 19 C to the normal temperature
>>53494834
>>53491136
this makes me want to puke
dwm if you want a tiling wm, bspwm if you're as retarded as an i3wm user. fvwm if you want something stacking.

Alt-tab to change window focus instead. Works well if you only use 2-3 windows at once.

It takes some pretty severe autism to have half your screen real estate taken up by unused Windows at all time.

Also just stupid because the keyboard configs of i3 are there so you can quickly switch between tabs for really basic shit like checking temps. Just organize your windows appropriately.
