In short, I do agree that much of LInux, especially the RH and Ubuntu based distributions, are going more and more towards GUI. But, I am an old grouch who yells at clouds. Poettering, of course, went back to Microsoft, after making Linux more MS like. IMNSHO, once much of Linux embraced systemd, they sort of gave up on the idea of do one thing and do it well. I don’t keep that much track of what i pull in, but you can do dnf install samba-common, for example and see what else it pulls in, and if it pulls in too much choose to not install it. xcb has a much cleaner API and should be faster in quite a lot of situations. ![]() (Though I think that’s going to be changed to sh).ĪrchLinux is another more CLI oriented distribution, though it does use systemd, don’t know how much that is a factor for you.ĭbus can be installed as a separate package, I don’t know what it pulls in, I think I get it when I install xorg-x11-server-Xorg, though it may be pulled in with something else. i3 i3 is an open source and free tiling window manager. In fairness, they’re way ahead of FreeBSD in things like wireless, and also, for example, a test install of Fedora workstation found my printer/scanner with no effort on my part, whereas with FreeBSD I had to startpage (which I use instead of google) how to get it working, which, in the end, I got from an ArchLinux wiki article.ĭepending upon your needs/wants, you might be happier with VoidLinux, which is more FreeBSD like (and BSD like in general), including root’s default shell being csh. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3s features, plus a few extras. I’d just wind up doing a web search.Īnd yes, I agree, RH, and most LInux, is moving to be more like Windows. Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. I don’t really use power management in Linux as my main workstation is FreeBSD right now. Open a single terminal window and it’ll be full-screen. They place your windows to make the most of the available real estate of your screen, or screens. AquaSnap is clean, easy to install and easy to uninstall. Tiling window managers like i3 and Xmonad are a different breed of user interface altogether. It uses very little memory and nearly no CPU. ![]() That's why AquaSnap is 100 composed of highly optimized native code, with no compromise on stability and performance. Mostly, I boot into text mode and use startx. A desktop enhancement tool should assist you without slowing down your computer.
