i3 with i3blocks / redshift rofi, https://github.com/davatorium/rofi i3blocks from https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks-contrib and https://github.com/Anachron/i3blocks
sudo cp i3exit.sh /usr/local/sbin/i3exit
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/i3exit
use xwininfo to get the window class and assign in i3 config f.e. assign [class="Signal"] $w9. for spotify its a bit more complex as it does not set the window class properly. workaround: for_window [class="Spotify"] move to workspace $w0
if you are not happy with the gnome notification system (test if it works fine for you regarding font size and multi display with notify-send --icon=gtk-info Test "This is a test", dunst (https://dunst-project.org/) is a great alternative. docs tbd

we need to reduce the speed of the sd card so that it actually works. therefore:
sudo sh -c 'echo options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40 debug_quirks2=0x4 >> /etc/modprobe.d/sdhci-pci.conf' && sudo modprobe -r sdhci-pci sdhci && sudo modprobe sdhci-pci
The option 0x4 decreases speed from ultra high speed to high speed, but it is better that not operable card.

in case the screen does not work or the right resolution is not detected in arandr, add the mode:
gtf 2880 1800 30
xrandr --newmode "2880x1800_30.00" 210.05 2880 3048 3352 3824 1800 1801 1804 1831 -HSync +Vsync
