@wezm I love old screenshots. Nearly 25 years ago I was building NetBSD 1.5Y from my Solaris 8 desktop at the BBC. Fun times.

Kinda frustrated with the state of #desktops in #Linux / #BSD / #Unix
You can either have a fully functional, but kind of frustrating-to-use (too mouse-centric) desktop with Gnome or KDE Plasma, or you can have a lean, efficient, and fast wm/compositor like #i3, #sway #awesomewm #evilwm, #cwm, #bspwm, or whatever you like, BUT you will constantly be scratching your head when #Gnome and #GTK programs either start very slowly or refuse to run at all, and are constantly trying to figure out what combination of configuration, daemon, and small animal sacrifices are necessary to do what the big, bloated desktops do automatically.
It's freaking exhausting, and I want to go back to the days that every one just ran #IceWM, #Enlightenment, or #WindowMaker.
P.S., Just for clarity, I really do love #KDE #Plasma. I think it's a wonderful, easy-to-use, and extremely flexible desktop. But sometimes I really don't want a desktop, I just want a lean-and-basic UI that stays out of my way (for home stuff vs. work stuff, generally).

Added #WindowManagers to https://opensourced.me #Linux #DesktopEnvironment benchmarks. These are the #WM that I haven't been able to get working: #Hypr #DWM #KatriaWM #EvilWM #Nimdow #RagnarWM #Wmderland #DK #Mutter #Xfwm4

Seems to be my day for grumbling about things.
Just spend too much time disabling al kinds of unneeded services in ubuntu to free up some memory and cpu cycles. Ubuntu is trying to integrate everything at the price of increased complexity. Older hardware cant cope anymore. Quick and dirty fix: Fell back to evilwm as a windows manager. Probably going to install puppylinux on the old laptop. RIP Ubuntu
