i3 is a tiling window manager on Linux. It supports tiling, stacking, and tabbing layouts, which it handles dynamically. The advantage is that you no longer waste time organizing your windows with the mouse. With i3 the layout is automatic. The windows open by occupying the available space. Using customizable keyboard shortcuts, you can move them around, display them full screen, arrange them horizontally or vertically. This is much more convenient and faster than using the mouse.
