Sebastian thanks for the reply. Having dabbled with a WM/TM for a couple weeks (from our repo) I felt that life was a constant seas of config file tweaking: from waybar to 5 other apps.
Do you get used to that? Obviously you must have if you crossed that line into comfort and left the old life behind. It's possible I made that experience harder on myself for not researching to much.
The results and aesthetics of a WM/TM seem so beautiful when dialed in...like yours. I feel like its a hill I'd love to climb in the future when I get more confident. I consider the Linux users crossing over to wm/tm as pioneers right now.
MODS: sorry for the digression of thread
