What is i3?
The i3 window manager is a dynamic tiling solution designed for the X11 graphical interface, drawing inspiration from the wmii window manager and written entirely in the C programming language. With a focus on clean, readable, and well-documented code, i3 provides extended support for Xinerama multi-monitor setups and utilizes the libxcb library instead of the traditional xlib approach, introducing several improvements over its predecessor wmii
