sick of Ubuntu mate
#9
There's a helpful thread here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4641

and a nice tutorial on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...sU7ZmkGzcf

you can sudo apt-get install i3 - if you're currently on Ubuntu Mate you can switch window managers in the login screen (target like icon in top right of screen on my system)

You may want to configure wifi etc first as i3 doesn't have this - although you can use nmtui in a terminal.

As the above referenced thread suggests some power management features are currently missing such as battery % indication and suspend on lid closure... but if we get some momentum behind i3 on Pinebook maybe these will be solved as i3 is quite extensible and configurable with scripts.
