> - some visual artifacts with the gtk menu

You need a compositor. picom works.

For a proper "native i3 experience" I recommend setting gtk-titlebar=false and unbinding tab/pane management keybinds. I already have a window manager, I don't need a second one.

I also had to disable adwaita because when it's enabled closing a shell with ^D closes all open windows, sometimes it leaves an empty window instead.

lxterminal also launches 6 times faster, I guess on a slow laptop without a dedicated GPU these terminals are not the most efficient option.
