It's finished.

After switching between Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Manjaro, Antergos and a dozen WM's I've settled for Arch on the desktop.

Took me over a week of trial and error, but it's worth the pain for the level of control you get.

Switching to Linux reminded me much of trying to find out if I liked text editors or IDE's more when I first started programming. I changed tools every day before I settled.

Screenshots of course. Now to actually get back to my JDBC projects before I start obsessing over how to get all my apps on the terminal. :D

    @Floydian Thanks for that. Few people get that about my username.

    It's sorta funny, but I pick out a wallpaper and then decide "Now how do I make the whole OS fit around that?"

    @RantSomeWhere The shell is zfs to reduce bloat as much as possible. i3 and bspwm commonly use it.

    There is no DE installed. I wanted to keep my build simple but still usable for general use. The WM is Openbox with polybar as the status bar.

    That screen shot looks like something right out of some japanese sci-fi anime mate. Cool

    Lol, I never heard of those Arch-based distros until people started coming to Arch IRC asking for help on them.
    Good for you; you've matured.
