> I'm "quite young" (26), although I don't know what you'd class as "actual work" (do Web development and PhD research count?). Certainly. It's always hard to judge age on the 'net, but looking at the relevant discussions on reddit or linux forums, you'll find an astonishingly uniform spread of applications, and if you find any code that's not the configuration of the window manager, it'll be some kind of programming 101 material. This, along with the "just installed Linux, this is my new awesome desktop" makes me a bit biased towards assuming a large quantity of teenagers -- also more likely to generally proactively show their neat desktops. This doesn't mean that every tiling wm user is that way (I certainly am not), just like pinterest isn't a good indicator about the prevalence of refurbished palettes in American bedrooms... I would say that you probably have more in common with corporate windows users who have their apps running fullscreen all the time, too and that way don't ever changed their backgroudn from Napa valley, than with the "unix ricers" who regularly apply patches to their minimal wms that leave large borders around their windows, so that their background is still evident.
