TLDR version:
- Installed i3 and i3-settings-qubes
- configured .config/i3/config how i wanted it.
- anything CLI works perfectly fine.
- anything GUI will render very very slowly, you can see it rendering as it goes down the screen.
No idea why the horrible performance, my only thought my laptop has a nvidia 980m gpu and it isn't being used at all. IF the performance issue is likely a lack of nvidia drivers, is there a updated guide to install it (current one is outdated, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia seams to be missing for fedora23 with rpmfusion)
as a second question, is there a timeframe for Qubes to ship with improved nvidia support?
