Hello (blog) World!

January 7th, 2017

Hello blog world. This is my first blog post and in it I would like to present to you my i3 window manager setup.

My story to i3 is a long one. So to make it short - I started with tmux and somebody mentioned i3 - to whch I thought they mentioned Intel’s processor. Now when I tell somebody I run i3 they are asking me the same thing ;)

This is how it looks:

For the bar I use i3blocks. My config is:
