+### What is this, Chosto ? 
+
+I used a lot Debian/Ubuntu with Gnome. So a full Desktop Manager with a stacking Windows Manager.
+A friend of mine showed me i3, a great and customizable tiling Windows Manager (i.e. no windows stack, just divide the scren and take all empty space).
+
+With some customization and additionnal component (in this repo), I managed to get a functional and pleasant yet lightweight environment (for me, no brag).
+
+So basically, what I like about this setup is that there is no useful menu bar anywhere and no border. Just windows with gaps between them when multiple windows are on the same screen.
+
+I added to the classic Arch/i3WM :
+* A notification daemon (urgency-aware), Dunst, controlled by shortcut (but possibly with mouse).
+* A fancy lock screen, with optionnal suspend-to-RAM, either triggered by hotkey or when there is no activity for X minutes.
+* A Display Manager (LightDM), for login and X starting.
+* A great File Explorer (SpaceFM), with hotkey / command-line / screen-split / protocol handlers / events support.
+* ZSH with Oh My ZSH and excellent community plugins (Git aliases, Docker autocomplete, FASD bindings, cat and man coloration...) 
+* Some mappings to control ALSA volume from dedicated keyboards buttons, to play/plause players compatible with MPRIS D-Bus Interface spec ; some changes to key speed (X settings) ; Smooth and dark theme for GTK and for Sublime-Text...
 
 ### Usage
 
+Please note : on my system XDG_CONFIG_HOME is $HOME/.config. 
+
 * Clone in bare repository : `git clone --bare https://github.com/Chostakovitch/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg`. A bare repository does not have a working tree (basically it is just `.git` content). So we avoid conflicts with another git repository.
 * Create a working tree outside `.cfg` : `/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout`.
 * Adjust `DEFAUT_USER` in `~/.zshrc`.
