What GUI do you use?

golondrino · 06-11-2004, 01:06 AM

blackbox, aterm, gkrellm and xdm - REALLY fast

used to use fluxbox 0.9.x, now using Openbox 3.2. Using emacs for my coding, aterm for most other work, and endeavour2 if I feel like I need a gui for my filehandling stuff

WindowMaker and Fluxbox. I switch back and forth since I get bored easily.
much love,

Fluxbox, with lots and lots of entries in ~/.fluxbox/keys. My mouse has developed abandonment issues.

i use kde and a little xfce

spevack · 06-12-2004, 03:05 PM

I had been using Gnome, and while my Pentium III 800 Mhz with 256 MB of RAM could handle it, it was a little too slow for my taste.

I gave xfce a try, and after a little bit of configuring (very easy) I now have a setup that feels faster, and provides me with all the functionality that I want.

Here's a screenshot (1280x1024) for anyone who cares -- xfce, xffm (file manager), mozilla, gaim, gimp, gkrellm, and transparent aterm.

I tried XFCE today and while I mostly like it a lot, there are some little things missing that I need. The option to keep a window on top, for example. Anyway, my computer isnt that slow xp1600+ w/ 512 ram, so the only thing that really seems faster to me is the startup of XFCE. So I use KDE because I like all of the little extras.

Gnome (mostly), Enlightenment, fluxbox (sometimes). Yes, there are more people who like enlightenment. I discovered enlightenment a short time ago, and it's really great: I love the looks and themeing most, and yet it's usefull and quite lightweight. But I think I need a better graphics card if I really want to see nice effects (my graphics card really sucks, I got it second hand for free). And I miss a window-bar: I sometimes can't find my apps back

IceWM, Gnome or Bash.

Hey, some users did cheat, they indicated their window manager 2 times.

XFCE4. i love the simplicity and the modularity. (and it's fast, too.)

Im using evilwm, bash & detach. It is borderless therefore giving me FULL screen. It has barley no features but yet very usable.
I do nearly everything in bash but occasionally need to browse net with firefox or a few other Xrelated programs. I just spawn a shell ( bash ) from evilwm (ctrl-alt-enter) and type the program name in.

XFCE 4.0 right now, but I'm experimenting with pekWM and 3D-Desktop
