Window Managers under Gnome 9 out of 12 works.

 Yes, I am back after recovering the GRUB. This is under Debian "Forky".

 

Warning

One has to be mindful of the logging manager

GDM is for Gnome

SDDM for KDE which I HATE. It is placed in the most inconvenient place.

By the AV Linux uses Enlightenment Desktop (upgraded from a window manger to a fully functional desktop) which is the heaviest Window manger of over 450MB.

I am posting this under IceWM which I love which is installed under AV Linux.

AV Linux now has Plasma and Gnome as well.

This is what I love in Linux.

These things one cannot do in Windows and AppleMac which I do not use at all. One is stuck with one desktop. They do not have light weight Window managers and they consume heavy RAM at boot up.   

All these window mangers including Enlightenment can be used in old computers and laptops.

This is the time to invest on Linux. 

WDM for Window Maker

When installing these light weight window mangers under Gnome one should keep the Terminal (portion) of the Synaptic package Manager Open. 

It will prompt for the user pick a logging manager and if wdm is used for gdm one may not be able to mount Gnome at boot up.

There no instructions when installing.

On should know what one is doing.

I have done this many times in the past.

Making cardinal mistakes made me to be more prudent over time. 

 

Window Managers

Do not work

1. I3

2. Spectrum

3. Stumpwm

 

Working Window Manager.

They consume less resources but mount AbiWord and K LibreOffice and Firefox. browser 

By the way, Compiz Box worked firat time under gnome. 

I do not miss Blufish since Comiz has most of the code cruncher utilities which I may try once I finish my books.

Compz where i want to sped some time.

Thank you to the Developer boys and girls. 

1. Awesome

2. IceWm my favorite

3. Qtile

5.  Blackbox

6. Flwm

7. Open Box

8. Window Maker, very flashy now

9.  Sugar both independent and installed under Gnome.

This was based on SUGAR, that started with one laptop for every child.

10. Fluxbox was missing under Synaptic Package Manager. 

It is there in Synaptic. 

I need to check. 
 

Flushbox and Blackbox used go hand in hand.

Lynx Browser 

It is available under Gnome in Synaptic Package Manger.

It is available with Fluxbox Window Manager.
