  1. I often started i3 using `startx /usr/bin/i3`

  2. I always start my window manager using startx. I have no idea how to set up my window manager to start automatically, and I probably don't need to. (that's probably what you want to tell about display managers) Also I don't have systemd on my main systems, so I don't need to know much about it. Only the most basic commands of systemctl (enable, disable, start, stop, restart).

  4. Why do they use stupid xml for font-config? This config could look so nice, when using something like .toml or something indentation based fontconfig alias family "serif" prefer family "Linux Libertine" alias family "sans-serif" prefer family "Linux Biolinum" alias family "sans" prefer family "Linux Biolinum" alias family "monospace" prefer family "Inconsolata"

  6. What do you think about just using no window manager? I'm currently using i3, and maybe don't want to switch to dwm, so I'm thinking about it. https://github.com/patrickhaller/no-wm
