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.

Maybe because Suse company wants to make business in USA.

My first was Mandriva, it was around 2008.

There is not much info about the package management.

Don't be so sensitive, there is very few troll in this topic and lot of interesting remarks in both pros and cons.

Wayland is a painful future, it is just a fact.

UEFI looks like another over-complicated proprietary shit that make PC more and more locked.

I installed Arch on a disk without erasing the /home partition that cames from a previous distro. It saves me some config work, and a bit of disk life expectancy I guess.
