Description
SparkyLinux is a distinctive GNU/Linux distribution built on the foundation of Debian GNU/Linux. Known for its speed and lightweight nature, Sparky provides a fully customizable operating system that caters to a variety of users and tasks. It offers several versions, including a fully featured OS equipped with a lightweight desktop environment, which is ready to use right out of the box and comes with a selection of commonly used software for home users. Additionally, there is a MinimalGUI version that utilizes the Openbox window manager, featuring only basic software for users who wish to personalize their OS and desktop according to their preferences, along with the flexibility to install any desktop environment or window manager they desire. For advanced users, the MinimalCLI version omits the X server entirely, allowing for a more hands-on approach to building and configuring their desktop environments. With support for approximately 20 different desktop environments and window managers, SparkyLinux ensures users have the freedom to choose how they want their computing experience to be, whether for productivity, leisure, socializing, or a multitude of other activities. This versatility makes SparkyLinux not just an operating system, but a platform for creativity and personal expression in computing.
Description
i3 is a window manager designed with a tiling approach and built entirely from the ground up. It is compatible with GNU/Linux and BSD operating systems, and it is released as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) under the BSD license. The design of i3 primarily caters to advanced users and developers. Drawing from our experiences while attempting to modify wmii, we established several objectives for i3. Key among these is ensuring that the software can be customized by individuals who possess programming knowledge but may not be well-versed in the intricacies of X11. To achieve this, we aim to provide comprehensive documentation that explains the reasoning behind various functionalities and their timing, allowing users to grasp the full scope of responsibilities handled by a Window Manager just through the source code. Furthermore, we prioritize the correct implementation of multi-monitor setups, enabling each workspace to be assigned to a distinct virtual screen. It is critical to ensure seamless operation during the connection and disconnection of new monitors, such as video projectors, while also supporting rotated displays, thus enhancing user experience and flexibility in different working environments. In doing so, we hope to create a more intuitive and adaptable window management experience for users.
