Hey guys,
I'm really interested in this spin. I'm running the standard GNOME desktop now,
but I've been looking to switch to i3 and this spin presents the perfect opportunity.
I looked at the current list of packages to be included in this spin
(https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/blob/master/f/fedora-i3-common.ks...), and I
have a few questions:
First, can someone explain what "dex-autostart" and
"gnome-keyring-pam" do? I googled around a bit, but couldn't really figure
it out. Why are these programs included in the default install?
If I understand correctly, azote and pavucontrol essentially provide graphical interfaces
that replicate the functionality of simpler command-line programs like feh and alsamixer.
Is that correct?
Does brightlight work only on laptops, or also on desktops?
On a separate note, perhaps you guys should consider including redshift
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Redshift), which is widely used by i3 users to help
control the color temperature of their screens. A similar functionality is built into
recent versions of GNOME, and I am a huge fan.
Thanks,
Gautam
