AnJellyCue Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hey All, After using KDE since RH 7.2, i switched to Gnome. but these days i use xfce on mandrake 9.2, it isnt that bad, if anyone knows of another Window Manager that is like this, small and powerfull yet funky enough to customize then id like to know about it, also i am fond of Running TWM with the gnome-panel Enjoy !!

tyme Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) i actually used to have a link t a page that had a whole list of DE's and WM's, let me see if i can find it for ya... http://xwinman.org/ <-has an extensive list of WM's and DE's, I haven't used much aside from gnome, xfce4, kde, and fluxbox myself...but that should give you a good start of things to check out :) oh yes, and welcome to the board!

WSGrant Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 What desktop do you use? Gnome.............I have played with KDE but I always end up going back to Gnome. Don't flame me but KDE just feels and looks like a box of crayons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnes Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 FLuxbox - I have been unable to find anything I like more, despite being a bit of a whore for changing. I keep returning to Flux with Rox as the file manager. I found both KDE and Gnome too heavy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 KDE, Gnome and Blackbox. I stick with KDE for ~70% of my work and like its easy customizing and good integration of kontact etc. Yeah, Gnome (~20%) has Ximian-mail as alternative, but I found customizing Gnome always a bit... . What really annoyed me is that all my KDE-Desktop-icons appear on my Gnome-Desktop (two dustbins... how stupid...) Best thing about Gnome is its logo, I must admit. If I want a real minimalistic desktop that starts immediatly, I use good old blackbox (with a flat gray-theme). Tried Windowmaker several times and didn't really like its look and feel. And Enlightenment was something I could and can never love... It was like a hate relationship right from the beginning, but don't aks me why. XFCE4 is better, but ... three desktopenvironments is enough. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I use KDE on my main machine but whenever i use another computer less powerful i use XFCE, which is way faster and lighter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDog Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yesterday I finally understood Fluxbox on my old low-spec laptop... and it's sooo fast. I need to learn more! Anyone know of any good links on howto's and clues on fluxbox? (besides the official site...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbob Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 When I was using Red Hat 7 and 8 at work I swore by Gnome, but I have to say for now I am in to KDE, very pleased with the way it has progressed and very speeedy. Of course, that could change with little provocation, but for now I am happy in KDE-land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Yesterday I finally understood Fluxbox on my old low-spec laptop... and it's sooo fast. I need to learn more! Anyone know of any good links on howto's and clues on fluxbox? (besides the official site...) http://aslan.no-ip.com/~iphitus/misc/fluxboxFAQ.html I am still working on it, however it will be put in the FAQs here on completion. If you are looking at icons on the desktop, get fbdesk, if you are looking to edit your menus and keybard shortcuts, either edit them manually in /home/topdog/.fluxbox/menu /home/topdog/.fluxbox/keys Or you can grab fluxconf, which is a GUI config tool for these and many other fluxbox options. There are rpms floating around, i am sure they are in the mirrors, if not, try http://rpmfind.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
