Hey Archers, I have a fresh installation now. Can you please guide me to install I3 gaps wm? I have seen sites but they are confusing me.. i need detaied step by step instruction please

The wiki is quite good: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/I3 For i3 gaps you need the package from the AUR. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/i3-gaps/ To install an AUR package, follow this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_package... Once i3-gaps is intalled, generally you will want to run it from a Display Manager. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_manager For what it's worth, I use LightDM. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM Hope this helps!

That is very much *not* an AUR package.

Agh! I don't know what I was thinking! In that case it's even simpler than what I said. Apologies.

Pretty Nice info guys Thanks a lot.. Now i got what i need.. i will report on this section mail once i install i3 on my machine.. Thank you On Wed, 26 Jun 2019, 5:29 pm Artur Juraszek, wrote:

You can also consider sway[1], a nearly drop-in replacement for i3 (with gaps support), but based on Wayland. While I don't want to start a flamewar between X.org fans and everything else fans, one big feature of it is that VSync *just works*, without having to drop into arcane configuration details - a game changer for me, personally.
