Ubuntu Mate is my favorite distro... but I run the i3 tiling window manager over it.
I don't know if I'd use it or not, but I'd like to see an attempt to make an ubuntu or debian based distro centered around a tiling window manager(preferably i3). From my experience, i3 provides to the desktop what tabbing provides to browsers. One thing I like about tiling WM is that there is not "native" GUI so there can't be any snort of snobbery about what is or is not native.
- d_theorist 10y agoI would love to see this as well.
- ptrincr 10y agoSo I've just come across i3wm after reading both your comments, it looks great! :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx0eNaGzAZU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx0eNaGzAZU

There are tools available that make it easier to create a custom Linux distro, including ones that allow you to customise Debian and Ubuntu, so it might not be that hard to do what you're suggesting: https://www.linuxvoice.com/build-your-own-linux-distro/ https://www.linuxvoice.com/build-your-own-linux-distro/
