    wonder what eventually makes everyone ragequit on the ricing part lol

    for me? it was the battery management and suspend/hibernate stuff. You need to do a lot of weird file configs to get them working.

    I riced i3wm, dwm and even exwm and suspend/hibernate problem would pop up now and then.

    On a full DE? Shit just works.

    I do miss ricing though. Especially window managers, I can just git clone my dotfiles and have everything setup in seconds.

      The first time you do a presentation and forget how to add an external display, that was what made me stick with a full DE.

      A lot of it seems like removing the automated easy parts to customize it to be faster only to realize you don’t feel like spending time on that breaking or being so inflexible. Like I can switch to lxqt but now it doesn’t even feel like I have a complete desktop and are spending time making it work instead of just using it
