From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I want the easiest to configure/theme wm and one that comes with sane defaults. Also I currently use cinnamon, and I'm not sure how to escape from that(everything in it is just so nice) but I want the speed of a wm

My problem with qtile is it seems... just bad... The install instruction doesn't work, and it was just a pain to install

Install instructions? I just installed it with my package manager and it worked fine.

I used pip, and apparently I needed to download from the git?

Ah, so apparently it's been removed from the Ubuntu repos. I would try apt-get qtile if you haven't already and if that fails, I just wouldn't try qtile. I'm not sure why they removed it from the repos though.
