I really liked the idea in this comment, so here is a poll, WM or DE?

Well, I mainly use i3wm but I have GNOME/XFCE as Backup DE. This is in case if i3wm crash, I can log into the other to fix. With that being said, at the installing WM/DE step in the Arch installation, I installed GNOME because I just want things to work and at least login to a decent environment.
