I fell completely in love by the look and practicality of what i see and listen about i3wm. It all started when exploring unixporn on reddit.

It's one of the things that make me sad for not being linux-savvy and even if I was I couldn't use it for my daily driver because my company/team work is based on the whole Microsoft Office suite.

So I just contemplate the minimalist beauty of it.
