- Sir_Cmpwn 12y agoWell, imagine if that utility had 10x the footprint and was written in the worst language for the job.
- octalmage 12y agomDesktop compiled uses MUCH less memory and is much faster.
- pknight 12y agoThe one hosted there is very limited. You can't move windows from one virtual desktop to the next for one. Mdesktop is pretty light weight.
- octalmage 12y agoI agree completely. I created mDesktop in 2007 because none of the solutions out there worked for me. They were either bloated and slow, or missing basic functionality. A program that is always running on your computer need to have almost zero RAM footprint, and mDesktop uses 300-400kb.
- botismarius 12y agoIt is open source, so you can learn a lot from its sources.
- jmlucjav 12y agoI used mdesktop quite a long time ago, it was the best window manager without a doubt for me, tested all others I found.
