Linux window managers

Window managers:

  • Mate (fork of Gnome 2),
  • Mint (Extensions for Gnome 3),
  • or Cinnamon (Fork of Gnome 3)

Gnome 2 was good, Gnome 3 was where it all went wrong, but now people are switching back to Gnome 3.

See also evilwm (joke) or xfce (supposed to be fast).

When Ubuntu's window manager went bad (11.04 -> 11.10)
