After being a Linux user for almost 3 years, I feel that the most miserable time I had was my ricing period.

I wasn’t enjoying to rely mainly on GUI, so I dropped GNOME (yes, I tried KDE and I hated it) and I started using i3 with a basic configuration. It took a couple of days to get used to it, but after the initial setback I started to really like using a tiling window manager, I had only set up notifications with dunst and left dmenu as launcher.
The problem was: it looked awful.
