It was not even on my radar. I have the notion it       existed but not what it was about.              I like tiling window managers. They are very handy when you have two terminals       open on one side and a browser on the other. That said, I don't see myself       running such setup alongside a full desktop environment.              The most visual distribution I run anywhere is an MX Linux install which I use       for testing. Everywhere else I run OpenBSD or Slackware with some minimalistic       environment. I have been researching KISS Linux as of late which should hint       everybody I am not thrilled by big graphical desktops :-)              --       gopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalken       --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux        * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (1:123/115)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 18/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 114/709 116/116 120/340       SEEN-BY: 120/457 616 123/0 10 25 40 115 126 131 150 160 170 180 190       SEEN-BY: 123/200 257 755 124/5016 129/305 135/300 153/7001 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 40 50 700 203/0 220/80 90 221/0 6 226/18 30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/201 702 229/310 424 426 428 452 550 616 664 700 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/77 420 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 299/6 301/1 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119 3634/0 12 15 27 50 119 5020/545       PATH: 123/115 3634/12 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
