yesterday i installed gnome after maybe a year of using dwm. it might sound strange, but i took some time to configure some stuff and after i thought i was done more stuff had to be done. as soon as i opened firefox i felt that something was wrong, i think it was the fact that my effective area of screen went from a relation of 16:10 to 16:9. i really noticed the difference and of course i could automatically hide bars, but that’s just stupid. also i cannot effectively manage my open windows and programs. not to mention the loads of processes running that i don’t even know what they are for and what i can do with them. plus, and though i love my (still almost as) new mouse, i prefer not to drift my hands from the keyboard as much as gnome makes me.
i’m sorry everyone, but dwm is not easy nor difficult: it’s simple. and so is arch.
