Ask HN: Focus Oriented Desktop Environment?
Looking into focus oriented desktop environment for GNU/Linux, something minimalistic like Sway but easer to use, that let user use the mouse, similar to much easier to install MNM Reform environment (see https://twitter.com/mntmn/status/1406573765643939840/photo/1)
- shrimp_emoji 5y agoGnome 3? It expects you to only have one monitor (on a tablet), which is as focused as it gets. :p
- neytsevi58 5y agoGnome 3 can never be focus oriented, too many bars, also you need high resolution monitor for it
- approxim8ion 5y agoHow high? I'm running it on a 1366x768 screen, which most people today wouldn't call high-res.
- mustafa_pasi 5y agoThere's loads of them.[1] Seems like you want the ones with "graphical configuration". Openbox, Fluxbox and others allow everything to done using the mouse.

- approxim8ion 5y agoOpenbox is probably the easiest and most minimal. You can bring it up to the level of something like LXDE or XFCE very easily, or just keep it minimal as it is.
- nextos 5y agoI'm very happy running StumpWM on NixOS without desktop enviroment (just Emacs, Firefox and XTerm). StumpWM is written in Common Lisp and trivial to customize even if you don't know Lisp. StumpWM has a really good and simple implementation of manual tiling. After using XMonad for many years, dynamic tiling never clicked for me.
- neytsevi58 5y agoThis looks nice. Hopefully it can be used with a mouse, hybrid way, more clicky less terminally. dwm is something that I tried but is too complicated to customize. Thanks, will try!
