What concrete advantage does a desktop environment offer me over just running a window manager like dwm? I've tried it both ways, and all the desktops seem to do is take up resources while offering little in return. Can you describe a significant way that your desktop improves your computing life?
- wazzaps 7y agoGood defaults

- totony 7y agoAutomatic monitor setup (plug in/out), audio controls, notifications
- totony 7y agoUser switching, sane session locking (+ automatic locking), better accessibility (e.g. you can use mouse to do pretty much anything)
