We did it at a wildlife rehab center I worked at. If we bought local we would clean out the local bug supply in a couple days. Which happened a couple times when we couldn’t get them online or a package got lost.
Not that I think that’s what this is. The packaging could be better, but also you order a box of crickets you get a box of crickets…
i3 is configured to use the program dmenu by default. A common replacement for that is rofi. I use wofi on sway. Rofi has more features, wofi is pretty simple but you can customize with css.
Sway will read the i3 config you already have if you put it in the sway config folder. Then just download dmenu if you want that same behavior. Some things like mod+enter is binded to i3-sensible-terminal, so if you don’t have i3 installed on the box it won’t find a terminal to open. The fix is to change the binding to your preferred terminal emulator.
All in all the transition is pretty painless.
