August: i3wm and Haiku

https://www.plug.org.nz/2025/08/august-i3wm-and-haiku/

## Topic 1/2: The i3 Window Manager—experiences of a new user

Speaker: Giovanni Moretti
Do you keep losing windows and seem to be forever resizing windows on a large monitor? Those points were frustrating me so, about six weeks ago, I decided to try a tiling window manager (i3wm) combined with Ubuntu Mate. In this talk I’ll be covering my experiences in learning to use i3 and adapting it as a new user.
