What’s your screen situation, by the way?

i3 is probably the only thing that I’ve experienced to be best at any resolution: if it’s small, it’s easy to hop between windows and layouts, and if it’s big, it’s so amazing to easily arrange everything to be in my view, even at 1080p @ 24’'.

Been thinking about a 4K for a while or an ultra-wide, but I can’t justify the purchase.

Not sure about other languages, but Russians are more likely to give their name as FIO, familia imya and then ochestvo (family name, given name, and then patronymic), especially in official settings. I’m given to understand the practice was even more common in Soviet and Tsarist Russia.

Very much this.

Today, the more English-like way of listing first name first, last name last in a context where the Western influence is just stronger and more prevalent, like YouTube, social media at large, git commits, etc. I think I’ve also seen it on TV, but I haven’t watched it for over a decade, really.

Generally, it seems like this order is become more and more popular thanks to globalization. which I actually like, but yeah, the more official something is, the more likely the traditional order is to appear.

That said, I think for the Russia-speaking context, last name first seems to be better in some cases, because the first names are not as varied.

Multi-monitor i3 really ruins virtually any non-i3 multi-monitor, with a few exception of other tiling window managers, I think.

I heard KDE introducing something similar, but I can’t imagine it being as convenient.

I’m thinking of migrating to sway on a full-AMD machine I have, but I think it had shown me some attitude a couple of times and I didn’t bother further.

Aside from the best practices and safety, what can Wayland provide to me on a mostly-work machine? I know I’ll miss .Xresources for the colors across multiple applications, though.

What’s a config compositor? Compositor makes me think of display/server compositor, like KWin, picom, etc.

Anyway, share everything you got if you can, that sounds cool!

I loved niri as a long-time i3 user, but once the novelty of it faded, I realized it was mostly its GNOME-like features that charmed me, like pressing Meta for “explode” view and dynamic workspace management, while the actual tiling and window management wasn’t as streamlined for me (especially stacking thinga vertically).

Sometimes I also miss the quality-of-life of a full DE, like dynamically switching from light to dark mode, but that can arguably be achieved in some other way - or even running i3 under a DE.

Sometime when I upgrade from my trusty old Nvidia GPU, I might switch to sway, but as of now, nothing has managed to topple i3 for me.
