Hi, |
2 |
A discussion on another list made me realize I'm a little tired of |
3 |
Gnome. It does what I need, mostly, but it feels sort of old and dry. |
4 |
I haven't run KDE in years but I'm hesitant to build it and keep it up |
5 |
to date. I really think I'd like something more minimalistic. I ran |
6 |
fluxbox years ago and liked that it was small and fast but at the time |
7 |
getting to apps was a hand-crafted menu editing task that I'd rather |
8 |
not repeat today. |
9 |
|
10 |
QUESTION: Is there something small, fast but also easy to use in |
11 |
terms of the environment automatically creating menus when apps are |
12 |
added or removed with emerge? |
13 |
|
14 |
From a pure-fun standpoint something 3D might be fun, but I don't |
15 |
need it and expect that my old ATI Radeon X300 card probably isn't up |
16 |
to the task anyway. |
17 |
|
18 |
How do others choose a window manager and what do you value in your |
19 |
window manager that makes you stick with it? |
20 |
|
21 |
Thanks, |
22 |
