This means that there is very little in the way of window decoration, in fact I have turned of everything but a slight border. The window manager i3 is created with a design philosophy of getting out of the way and letting the user control their windows by using only the keyboard. But when I changed my main machine to run Manjaro i3 Community edition things got a bit more complicated. Maybe not as well as something like Gnome 3 which is created partially for touch devices but well enough. This distribution worked fine, it was running XFCE which meant that it had a graphical approach that translated well to a touch-screen scenario. Keeping all my machines running the same Linux flavour makes setting them up and maintaining them easier, not to mention that I don't have to remember which programs are used on the different machines for the same task (file managers and such are typically integrated with the desktop environment and will vary between Linux distributions). At first I started out with what I was currently using as the operating system on my main machine. It's a great device, and with a little tweaking I got it running Linux just fine.
Adding touch controls to the i3 Window Manager 30th September 2016 - LinuxĪ while back I got myself a second hand Surface Pro 1.
