This page is a brainstorming placeholder for the i3 SIG. This includes long-term goals, ideas, or other things we are thinking about as a SIG.
Package Group
One of the first goals for this SIG is to create an official Package Group that is a base installation for an i3wm workstation. Ideas for packages are below.
i3-minimal
These will be the packages that will be installed by `sudo dnf install @i3-minimal` and it's intended to bring a minimal number of packages to be able to launch i3wm and control/configure the workstation.
i3 (core)
- i3
- i3lock
- i3status
- dmenu
- dunst (notifications)
- lightdm (display manager)
- Group: @base-x
- urxvt (virtual terminal)
Networking
- nmcil
Audio
- pactl
- alsamixer
Power management
Other
- GUI theming app
- lxappareance
- xbrightlight (brightlight)
- htop
- nitrogen (or azote)
- azote (or nitrogen)
i3-extended
These will be the packages that will be installed by `sudo dnf install @i3-extended` and it's intended to have several extra tools to control and configure the i3wm. These packages aren't essential to run i3wm but they improve the experience of the users.
