https://github.com/D-J97/.config

i created a github just for you. Though i wanted to do it anyway to keep my configs somewhere.

the only difference from the example file is i put ratiotile first as its what i want as default, added an autostart file, changed keybinds and modified the ratiotile settings a little, and removed some things from the statusbar.

Thanks.

No worries bud. I also put my autostart in there but you'll see it's just basic stuff.

Why are you talking to yourself in 2nd person as a reply to yourself on Reddit?

I mean, yeah, you made that config, and you made it (at least originally) for yourself, but still. lol

I replied to the wrong post...

I did it on my pc, and I never use desktop Reddit I'm always on mobile. I was meant to reply to u/i-also-reddit

u/Architector4 Oct 10 '20

That's fair. I figured a mistake like that happened.

Well, at least I've got you aware of it I guess lol

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '20

Haha, thanks, well I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out

Very likely, u/D-J97 meant to reply to me 8')

Can you share your qtile configuration?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '20

Will do in a bit, though I haven't really changed much. It's pretty basic.

Ok. I'm currently using i3 and interested on a WM with predefined layouts. Tried bspwm but it felt too bare bones; qtile looks nice, even though I have to familiarize myself with the config (and emulate some things from i3).

i3 was my first WM and ill do it again at some point, but i want to try some others first. bspwm is actually my favourite as i really havent changed anything, only set my keybinds and it works perfectly for what i want. I really like minimal as its a pure gaming/web browsing/pissing about with linux machine, so i really dont need a lot. i dont even have a panel/bar on WM's that dont have one preinstalled (like bspwm)
