Can someone recommend a good example for a work laptop? In about 11 hours I'm going to set up i3 for the first time ever and there's just too many examples on here to choose between, it's overwhelming especially with extra stuff people install.
Can you be more specific ? A work laptop seems rather vague.
For setting up i3, if I were you I'd just copy a simple theme you like and go from there. Tweaking i3 is rather simple, once you get a few shortcuts setup you'll get a grasp quickly.
It's a Lenovo, used for coding and for presentations. I'm already using Ubuntu with Gnome on it but there's so many different themes out there for i3, especially on reddit, that it's really hard to pin down even a couple of professional suitable examples, let alone do any customisation.
https://Larbs.xyz and the dotfiles Luke has on there include some pretty sane and extensive i3 configs
