I moved from KDE to i3 but then moved back. KDE is customizable but I think this is going to be a tad more customizable. I'll try it out once I fix Xorg because nvidia treats linux users like trash

You don't need Dmenu just use Super+P, awesome has it's own built in rendition so there for your dmenu is bloat.

I am able to boot debian minimal on hdd and potato computer in about 8s boot, with ssd could achieve more

I need some thoughts from you crypto. Please look up Cellebrite UFED Touch. I have four of them do you think these would make decent pentesting devices. I know the original software will have to be removed or altered but would love your thoughts?

Do not start with I3 is one of the worst TWM. Start with AWESOME so you don't have to keep changing from one to the other! For me it is the most productive TWM.

@João Paulo Albuquerque Agree with you. Awesome is very full-featured as an TWM. Maybe it's the most beginner-friendly WM.

Is that a T430? Peak thinkpad imo. It is what I do all my dev work on. Throw it on the dock and you are laughin at all those nerds who spent $1000 for a machine they can’t even game on. Next improvement I am buying as an external GPU to run through the Express slot.
