![]() 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.

- Someone !1343 started working on porting this setup, which would enable touch-only devices to use it.
