Hello,
I read on slashdot that Linus Torvalds moved from Gnome 2.3x to Xfce. It
seems that he isn't thrilled by xfce, but it's far better than Gnome3.
As a Gnome 2.3x user too, I am also a bit nervouse. Gnome 3 is a big
mistake. And there are also rumors that Gnome will be Linux only. Maybe,
we will never see Gnome3 under FreeBSD, but this is not a tragedy :)
I am not very interested in eyecandy: I want a stable and fast wm (less
memory and cpu, quick access to important places), different workspaces,
and it should be configurable with ordinary files. Of course, It must
run under FreeBSD.
I sniffed into AfterStep, fvwm2 and fluxbox (I don't want to use KDE). I
think, fluxbox is a nice wm and for my future, it will be the default wm
for me. It's also very fast and easy to configure.
Are there any other window manager worth looking?
What is your window manager?
I *looooove* dwm for developping, I always start three terms, one for
vim, one for compiling and one for manual pages :) It is my best way to
write code efficiently. I also like much its features like autotagging,
multitagging and direct support of non-resizeable windows.
When I only use my desktop and don't want a tiled wm I'd rather use
pekwm, it is fast and similar to fluxbox without a taskbar but with more
features and a very easy config file syntax.
Pekwm is absolutely perfect with its autoproperties, you can do almost
what you want with any window :)
Cheers,
