internetling.com — As promised, today we’ll take a look at the various interesting window managers for the X Window System which aren’t (necessarily) a part of a certain desktop environment (that means Enlightenment DR 17 doesn’t count here people, sorry, please take a look at the desktop environment guide).

Not much, actually. A lot of managers is omitted and screenshots are really crappy. AwesomeWM is only one that I never heard of. Maybe it would be nice alternative to wmii2.<a class="user" href="http://www.suckless.org/wmii">http://www.suckless.org/wmii</a>WM's list: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window_manager">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window_manager</a>

Hmm, it's a nice list, but I'd have to say:KDE is a good all-around desktop environment (KWin is the window manager) for when I'm lazyFluxbox is usually my first choice of WM, if you set it up right it's very niceE17 I dabble in, but it has its quirksIonWM I use whenever I get in one of those moods when I only program with Emacs and Gcc and tend to loose the mouse behind my computerFVWM, though, is the best WM I've ever used. I only once set it up the way I liked it (it took me all afternoon of editing .fvwmconfig) but is very nice if you spend the time to set it up (and have gentoo's auto menu generator). But, it takes awhile to setup, and if you loose your favorite config you may never use this wm again just due to the prospect of having to make up your new config.

Ah, good ol WindowMaker. I loved it back in the Comp Sci days (when using KDE would get the sysadmins annoyed at you), and even now it's breathing new life into my aging laptop.

I love IceWM for a basic desktop. I'm currently trying to create my own distro for my Eee PC, based on Ubuntu but using IceWM. It's not going too great as I still have a lot to learn about Linux, but it's usable.
