What is your favorite Window Manager for GNU/Linux?

What is your favorite Window Manager for GNU/Linux? Mine is LXDE.

LXDE isn't a window manager. LXDE ships with Openbox for its WM.


Anyway, to answer the poll question, I deved on Compiz for a bit and I've stuck with it since. It's been a major inspiration for my own compositor / window server.

Dwm

Fluxbox / dwm.exe (yes, ignoring 'GNU/Linux' remark is kind of a ~bad joke) + screen.

Best way of managing all the windows? gnome-panel


Seriously, the window decorations are just a part of the experience - as long as they are not broken. Metacity works fine in that regard.

[Jezze]

To be fair there is more to window management than just decorations. Tiling window managers operate quite different compared to the norm.

KDE. I switched from Windows 7 to Kubuntu a few months ago, and I chose KDE as it had most of the things I love about the Windows 7 desktop environment. Hopefully sometime I'll get round to compiling KDE myself, and I'll try and make it even better (for my purposes) than Win7

I've been using Fluxbox for about 5 years. It doesn't do that much, but I've never had a problem with it. I mostly just fullscreen things (chrome/gvim/xterm).

I've lost track of what is a window manager and what is a desktop manager and what is a library and it's just way too complicated.

In any case, I use Cinnamon. It's pretty much Windows XP, but in a good way.

I use i3.

I still use CDE...
