   I have never tried it. 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 :-)
