Firefox is autostarting at each login?

Dive into configuring i3

i3 is a dynamic tiling window manager inspired by wmii that is primarily targeted at developers and advanced users. The configuration file for endeavouros-i3 can be found at ~/.config/i3/config. Edit this file to make changes and use $mod+Shift+r to restart i3 in place.

To disable firefox from autostarting comment out this line:

exec --no-startup-id sleep 7 && firefox https://github.com/endeavouros-team/endeavouros-i3wm-setup/blob/main/force-knowledge.md

No transparency

picom is used to enable transparency. To enable it uncomment this line:

exec_always --no-startup-id picom -b

In some cases you might need to use a different configuration to make picom work for example while using NVIDIA's proprietary drivers.

Disable the battery indicator

To disable battery indicator edit the file ~/.config/i3/i3blocks.conf and comment out these lines:

# Battery indicator
#[battery]
#command=~/.config/i3/scripts/battery2
# for alternative battery script  change to battery1
# change this to battery-pinebook-pro if you are running on pinebook-pro
#label=
#interval=30

Autostart implementation

dex is used to autostart applications on startup. To disable it comment out this line:

exec --no-startup-id dex --autostart --environment i3
