    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.

      I’m taking the same approach for my main work laptop. As long as X11 is working, I probably won’t bother moving to wayland/sway.

        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.
