From Mac to Linux – the setup I've grown to love

I suggest you try out Sway, which is pretty much i3 for Wayland. Also, Arch Linux has some great documentation for setting up things like screenshots. You'll have to get used to the flags for forcing xcb for a few Qt applications though, but totally worth it and not difficult at all once you understand it. I do miss rofi though, but am waiting for a Wayland version or the next best thing.

If you miss rofi, you may want to check out Ulauncher [1]. It is a nice app launcher with plugin support (eg. emoji picker).

Thanks, looks pretty nice. I primarily just miss a few specific features, like shortcut to switch modis, ssh modi, and I had one for chromium to search and go to my open tab on any screen, as well as an emoji selector with search and integrated color emoji font. Unfortunately I don't see this providing those features, and it has a lot more dependencies.

Still doesn't fully support HiDPI though :(
