So I just started experimenting with yet another window manager that I hadn't taken a glance at before: i3wm!
Apparently it's quite easy and convenient to use. Usually I'm on LXDE/Openbox, so this is a slight move now. With i3bar and i3status, i3wm actually provides a full though light(weight) desktop environment. So apparently I could throw away LXDE soon, especially from my slower machines like my netbook (a MSI Wind U160).
Anything else I should try? Oh, please, I'm not going to take GNOME3 nor KDE into consideration since they take too many resources. GNOME2/Mate is quite nice, but not my thing anymore. I'm running Razor-qt on my desktop PC (and I am aware that LXDE is probably going to move to QT as well), I had Ratpoison already, and Xfce was just similar to LXDE, yet slightly different. Xmonad means waste of space for the Haskell stuff - which I don't need for anything else! What's left?
Cheers!
