my current way of installing linux is "install ubuntu for desktop, and then uninstall the ubuntu-desktop package and everything under unity-*" which works pretty well for setting up another WM
@boots nice! this might be what i end up doing when i eventually get around to setting up a masto dev env
@bea ah yeah, the default group for i3 (assuming you use the sourcelist they give) usually installs dmenu and a few other nice lil things by default
i personally use terminator instead of rxvt because it basically is a terminal emulator with tmux built-in (allows splitting panes via context menu, opening new tabs, etc)
@boots interesting, don't think i know that one
will try to remember to check it out if i ever get around to doing the thing
too easy to just livecode in production...
@boots slick
i also use i3, usually with rxvt-unicode and dmenu when i'm doin linux stuff
