After 15+ years of using tiling window managers (mostly #i3) I find myself tempted by some of the aspects a proper desktop environment like #GNOME Shell provides. (The toolbar with quick access to power and connectivity settings and the native support for function keys including nice looking screen overlays.)
However there is absolutely no way I’m going to give up automatic tiling.
Has anyone successfully made the switch from i3 to one of the Gnome Shell extensions? (gTile, forge, PaperVM, …)
