Personnaly I don’t need to manipulate windows with Bspwm. How they spawn is fine for me.

I don’t use i3 because windows spawns in such a layout that force to use shortcuts for changing the layout. Bspwm displays everything in nice rectangles.

To start apps you can keep an application menu in your bar, such as Whisker menu, or the KDE bar, while having a tiling window manager, so you can run apps with mouse clicks. And after the spawn you should not need to manipulate them if you use more automatized tiling WM such as Bspwm or Xmonad.

The Gimp Tool Kit !

I’m annoyed by these Gnome centered distros. If I had to choose a single DE for a distro, I 'd choose a flexible one that can run on potatoes, such as Xfce. I suppose Xfce as default is a part of the MX linux popularity.

In the meantime you can give a look to the Servo project. If Servo is clean for you, you can support them.

Is Librewolf already a Firefox without ad companies colonization ?

Is the web engine an issue about privacy ? Or are these things implemented in front ends instead ? Sorry for my ignorance.

Is it possible to make it working on a today machine ? Even with a virtual machine ? Sorry for my ignorance.

I switched two times. WinXP to Mandriva, because of devastating rootkits. Win8.1 to Mint because of performance decrease.

I like simple default, so it is easier to customize. But If I have to keep the default I would say Garuda.

This is unrealistic. Read everything represents too much work.

If you want stability you can choose Xfce. You’ll don’t need extensions because of easy configurability.

Is Guix a cleaner base for a NixOS alternative ?

Maybe MX attracts people who just want to use their computer easily. They are not interested in talking about their OS on the web.

I did so many shit on my PC, I don’t remember an interesting one. Generally that was during a distro install.

Maybe because Suse company wants to make business in USA.

I don’t use KDE but I suppose the click is detected on button release, not during the press. It should adress all these questions.

I don’t know the Windows state currently, but at the time I switched, I liked the following.

• Linux is just a kernel. The user can choose between different components. You’ll see some hot discussions because of that. But user friendly distributions can do these choices for you.
• Linux is transparent. As an open source software its harder to harm user privacy.

In all distro I tried, I always found Vi.

The PS3 is not crazy, but has an exotic hardware that optionnally runs Linux.

For a desktop user I don’t see any significant benefits to replace systemd. But also no-systemd distros works fine. I was impressed during my try on Alpine Linux, that uses openrc instead. The text printing during OS startup is so short that the terminal didn’t scroll. The bluetooth worked flawlessly. But it is a small community distro, and Alpine is limited by other things than the init system. The init system is a problem for people that have to deal with services.

On political aspects, IMO FOSS works easier with small and focused components that can survive with spare time developers. I can’t make critisicms on technical aspect, I’m not a good programmer, I just notice systemd seems to works fine. Red hat has man-power and capable of large contributions to Linux distros so they leads the innovations. All big distros switched to systemd, now its hard to avoid.

I would like to support smaller FOSS-friendly systems but I use Arch because I need recent versions and the anti-systemd arch-forks are harder to use. I’m a weak guy.

In short, as an user you should be fine by keeping normal Debian. If for political reasons you want a no systemd distro, the easiest is to use MX Linux with the default init.
