It's been XFCE here for a while. When I ran NetBSD years ago, nothing |
| 7 |
but fvwm would run at decent speed (not that there had been much |
| 8 |
choice), so I used this for a while. Then it was Linux/KDE for a while |
| 9 |
on a 486, which was quite a pain. When I discovered Gnome, I liked the |
| 10 |
clean look of GTK and its speed. Version 2 annoyed me because everything |
| 11 |
got fatter and had less features than the 1.x version, but I stuck with |
| 12 |
it out of inertia, it was well configured and all... |
| 13 |
XFCE is for me what Gnome used to be: slim and fast, a clean look and |
| 14 |
just as many knobs to tweak as I need but no more. |
| 15 |
Now, WMII looks interesting as well. Unlikely I'm going to switch but |
| 16 |
I'll have a look at it. |
