Ricing Linux
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What desktop do you use?
I never use one, useless fluff/hype, I use a wm.
Near double the size and resources for having a dock/bar/menu and pinning icons on the background .. too much clutter for things hiding behind whatever you are doing most of the time.
A desktop is something you use to impress someone using mac/msWin ...

Your reasoning is understandable if itching out every mb of RAM space is a high priority, but fortunately hardware has improved well enough to use more bloated systems (not windows levels) for easier daily use.
and a WM is something you use to impress someone who doesn't only use a WM
Desktop resources are not above 1% of my system use. Wm is annoying because I'd have to use the keyboard for everything.
You know I've heard a lot of people say that. And i tested it with bspwm, sure I was saving some ram but when you add all the applets, compositor, bar and notification daemons and all the configs it adds up to the same amount of ram being used as sometching like KDE. I didn't notice a lot of difference other that more time being spent on configuring the wm than using it. It was fun tho.
The question was obviously directed at OP.
