I won't consider XFCE vintage but sane, boring but working. Vintage would be a vanilla FVWM, or MWM, or TWM/CTWM. But not so much, as things come full circle.
EvilWM would look outdated
and crappy under Slashdot threads in 2001 or close, because it looked something from the 80's, altough some bright users stated that it saved tons of RAM for applications.
Its clone CWM nowadays it's highly praised by OpenBSD users as a no-bullshit, floating-no tiling madness window manager (and by me too). It works, it can work without any mouse for every window action (even resizing), it doesn't need dmenu, you can use virtual desktops and search between opened windows with autocompletion. So, forget about RSI's, your hands can literally rest.
- thw_9a83c 10mo agoEMWM is really nice. Too bad that Wyaland will make alternative WMs like this one very hard to use and obsolete in the long run.
- anthk 10mo agoThere was some barebones X server runnng on top of Wayland. https://wayback.freedesktop.org/ https://wayback.freedesktop.org/ If I have to suffer that in a near future, I want my CWM setup working like before.
- kristopolous 10mo agoWayland isn't going to become defacto until this difficulty disappears. X "just works" well enough for too many use cases
