Linux noob here. I've been playing around with some linux distros on Virtualbox and I seem to have settled on Ubuntu MATE as my favorite. It has everything I want and nothing I don't, and is pretty customizable to boot.

That being said I really prefer the square style windows from LXDE. I fucking LOVE the "system crash" window style (pic related. It's what you see on the terminal there) but when I install OpenBox on MATE I get some problems. For some reason it overrides all of my hotkeys, and I can't figure out where I can rewrite them. Why does a windows manager effect hotkeys exactly? Isn't that a desktop environment type of thing? Also I sometimes get this error that it can't find Debian menu xml or some shit. Either way I don't want to deal with it.

Is there a way to get the systemcrash window theme on MATE without installing Openbox?

I just don't like the rounded window borders at all.

I know I'm probably spending too much time ricing when I should be programming but I've learned a lot so far just through breaking shit and having to use the command line to fix it.

If anyone has ideas on how to get a more old school look while still having the features and customization of MATE (the system monitor, customizable hotkeys, customizable terminal, single icon menu mainly)

maybe I should stop worrying about having too many programs as right now I'm running this on Virtualbox but eventually I'm going to get a thinkpad to run linux on.

learn front me: stick with 1 de and or lwm. for whatever reason lotta distros do not like mutiple environments. though, the 'buntu ones do quite "jus' w3rk" outta the box. try installing ubuntu server you will learn alot from there. the 'buntu distros are probably the most friendly "multi de/lwm", tbqh...
