![]() i3wm on the Nokia N900 | |
Name | i3wm |
---|---|
Graphics stack | i3wm on Xorg |
In postmarketOS | |
Package | postmarketos-ui-i3wm |
Status | Available |
Status
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 to your device as well, just look at how it's done in device-nokia-n900
, modify your device package accordingly and make a pull request.
Installation
Run pmbootstrap init
and choose i3wm
in the interface section.
Currently this installs lxdm
as display manager (a common display manager is planned, see #88). When booting for the first time, you need to select i3 in the top left dropdown, where it allows you to choose the session.
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 started working on porting this setup, which would enable touch-only devices to use it.
Guide
Follow the Display guide to change and fix display related issues.
