@scottjenson Yeah. #i3 / #sway in the #Linux world. They are a totally different, keyboard driven, UX. Appeals to developers and people that want to multitask without using a mouse. Which takes some getting used to. IMO, the best things in free unix environments are on the command line. If you stick with it, the speed and performance gains are unparalleled.
On the GUI side, I think most other free desktops are different takes on windows / mac os. Which is fine. But not exciting.
