I tried plasma with i3 and can't remove it now
I am using plasma primarily and decided to install i3. Then I followed the instructions from https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma then decided that the did not work. I deleted the .system file and yay -R i3 but the option still wasn't removed from my login screen. Theres no i3 anymore but my i3 with Plasma option is still there

i3wm status bar not working in KDE Plasma
Reddit KDE GitHub ... I don't think you tried hard enough. :)
- Plasma + i3 is AMAZING

bro do you even Linux? sometimes you just gotta flex
I feel like a heroin dealer now, but seriously; getting past the initial hump for TWMs is so worth it, and i3 + plasma is reportedly a great combination. The best of both worlds. i3 now has mouse drag rearrangement also, which is a game changer.
- Could somebody recommend me a tutorial for installing i3wm in pop os KDE

Best window manager for Arch with
Since this is your first foray into this world I’d suggest you look into nwg-shell. It’s a sway (and hyprland) based WM that brings some of the niceties of a desktop over to this WM world for you. It comes complete with a gui for setting all the configs, and 4 desktop options, plus the ability to change it to your hearts content. There’s a dock, an app drawer, wallpaper app, and tons of things to tinker with. It’s written in Go and Python and you can change pretty much anything however you want.
