Hi there, I’m looking at floating window mangers as an in-between of DEs and escaping configuration hell (somewhat) of tiling Window Managers.
Specifically, I was looking at IceWM and OpenBox, but would love recommendations and discussion on what you like and why.
Cheers!
I’ve run plain ol’ openbox without a desktop environment on top of it, and it’s quite nice. IIRC I also had a standalone status bar application, but I can’t remember which one I used.
There are a couple utility programs (obconf and obkey?) that help to configure everything comfortably.
