You can bindsym other apps too if you want to open them quicker instead of using dmenu.

Thanks again, biff. I installed Microwatt on all my systems and they're running great. I was also cheeky, I copied your i3 config file and i3blocks and installed them on debian stretch so I could run it on my chromebook. thanks again! looks awesome now, cheers.

PS: if anyone needs help with i3, I'm all ears.

Posting from Microwatt 64bit, thank you biff.

Couple of notes, if you're dual booting with Windows 7/8/10 - you can't access there drivers, it says you're not permitted to access the drive. I can see USB drives mounted though.
And 2nd: Again, if you're on Windows 7/8/10 and you use Rufus to create the bootable media, it doesn't boot and will load you straight in to Windows instead of booting from USB.

I use this:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbwriter/

Ran as admin and created the bootable media that way in Windows 10.

Any idea on accessing the Windows drives, biff?

EDIT1: Ok, so install this:

sudo -i
root
sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility.

still in terminal as root:

gnome-disks

click the mount button and you can see your windows files.

EDIT2: After I restarted my PC, I can now access both of my hdd's. I disabled auto mount and the settings are:

EDIT3: If you want to use dual monitors or triple, add something like:

exec --no-startup-id xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of DP1

edit for your monitor settings, you can check with:

xrandr.



EDIT4: as you can see from my screenshots, I am using dual monitors.

Thank you.
Waiting for it.

Yep, me being stupid I thought my keyboard was broke so went out and purchased a new keyboard *laughs* good to know it can be fixed.
