That's why you leave around your config files from the '90s, you don't touch them and they still work!

- kbenson 6y ago> running fvwm That's the secret. I've been running Windows 10 on the desktop for almost the last decade, but ran Linux for more than a decade prior to that. If I want a Linux desktop, I know I can pull out my old archived FVWM configs and be set.
- spear 6y agoYeah, I do most of my work inside VNC servers running fvwm with emacs, xterm+tmux+zsh, and firefox. My config files haven't substantially changed in 25 years. The desktop login environment has changed many times over this period (enlightenment, sawfish, compiz, metacity, mutter, mutter-on-wayland, even Windows 7 and 10 for work) but I only configure that enough to set up virtual desktops in which I just bring up VNC viewers for multiple hosts.
