I've tried tiling WMs a few times, maybe 4 years ago last and liked them (inclduing i3) but at least at the time there were too many problems.
If everything works now, Id be willing to try i3 when I install ubuntu 20.04.
Is it now easy to set up a launcher/start bar with a nice battery/volume/wifi etc. indicator? That work both when I click on them and via keys and with the icons visibly changing based on the current state?
Do all Windows open normally? Do they all fullscreen normally? Which don't?
Do you get any crashes?
Are there any WM-specific settings/fixes you have to tweak more often than once every 6 months?
