i3wm is working quite well on the N900. It does not make sense to run this interface on a device without a hardware keyboard, because it is a tiling window manager. Since the N900 keyboard does not provide the same keys as a regular keyboard does, the N900 device package has its own i3 config. It is easy to add such a config for your device as well. Just look at how it's done in device-nokia-n900
, modify your device package accordingly and make a merge request.
Installation
Run pmbootstrap init
and choose i3wm
in the interface section.
Ideas
- How about a wallpaper for the N900 with i3wm, that is based on the postmarketOS wallpaper, but shows the keybindings on the desktop?
- Someone !1343 started working on porting this setup, which would enable touch-only devices to use it.
