Give me ONE (1) reason why you're not using windowmanager/GNUstep as your default graphical user interface.
>>
>>62357066
No.
>>
>>62357066
Because plain i3 is lighter, more efficient and I can get my work done just as well, if not better.

Pape?
>>
>>62357066
Isn't GNUStep abandoned?
>>
>>62357066
I'm using it right now, it's very comfy
>>
it looks pretty old and probably doesn't play very well with standard EWMH/NetWM directives to make it compatible with modern linux userspace applications.
>>
>>62357108
Prove it
>>
>>62357137
Try it and see for yourself
>>
>>62357066
Because i dont want my desktop too look like fucking windows 3.1 in 2015+2
>>
Because I have more than 128mb of ram
>>
>>62357144
Prove that you're actually using it I mean
>>
>>62357095
>>62357131
Last update was in February of this year, and it indeed respects EWHM.
>>
>>62357172
I'm not the anon in question, but like, why?
Windowmaker is in most repos and its fairly popular among those with machines too shit for lxde
Ive personally never used it as my main gui, but ive used it before with Ubuntu and its alright, works like any other wm/de

Wallpaper plz ?
>>
>>62357066
because the icon blocks are annoying. i get more usable screen space with openbox.
>>
>>62357066
because lxde is fine for me
>>
>>62357724
You can make them smaller
>>62358015
Why not just use openbox with polybar?
Same memory usage but it'll look way better
>>
>>62357066
I used WindowMaker/LightSTEP/AfterStep for some time

You dont even have an animated root window, gtfo

Then again its not 1997 anymore.
>>
>>62358015
This
>>
>>62357163
It actually looks like NextStep.

Not him, but reverse search is easy.

That's flipped though
>>
>>62359150
so flip it back you moron
>>
>>62359281
Fuck you retard
>>
>>62359298
dumb shitstained nigger cattle
>>
>>62359281
But if I flip the image it'll also cause bit flip, might crash my cpu
>>
>>62359336
jump off a foreskin trampoline idiot
>>
>>62359358
Images are made out of 1's and 0's right?
So if you flip an image you're flipping the 1's and 0's to do that, which passes through the cpu on their way to the monitor, and that can flip the bits on the cpu because of friction.
Why are you trying to ruin my pc anon?

>>62357066
I can give you 3:
>configuring it is a pain in the ass
>detachable menus are annoying
>no way to make GTK and QT programs look native
I love how GNUstep looks and what it's trying to do, but I just feel it's clunky.
>>
>>62357066
Nice to see /g/ wake up to the superior COCCA API over that garbage QT and GTK shit.
>>
What is the problem with her body
>>
>>62357066
But I am. I ignore GNUstep as a whole, but I'm using Window Maker as my main window manager for a few months.

It performs well, its pretty stable, support window snap to borders and it has the clip, which is a dock that's exclusive to the current virtual desktop. I am quite fond of the 90's classic style, so it gets extra points on aesthetics too.

I'm pretty happy with it, as I prefer floating windows to tiling. Its tied for me with old KDE 3.5 in terms of my favorite interfaces.

>>62359730
She is a woman.
>>
>>62357066
Because not using Windows Explorer is literally retarded.
>>
>>62359568
Oh fuck off,
You need physical access for that, and if it gets to that point you're fucked either way

I'm already living the luddite life just the way I like it.
>>
>>62357066
Because I don't want to waste pixels of my display with nothing.

Openbox without any decorations here.
>>
>>62362019
You're only living the luddite life if you do your documents with groff.
>>
>>62362019
ok please tell me anything about your setup I've been trying to achieve the same thing as you for months, your setup is just perfect, englighten me.
>>
>>62357066
Why it looks so ugly? And is it really a window manager and not DE?
