Thanks for share 🙂
Thank you for covering small window managers. There is little information available on them especially comparisons involving memory use. I use Debian with KDE as my primary distro but I find light window managers helpful on older hardware. I do think one of the problems with them is major distros only have them available as packages that need quite a bit of work before you have a fully functional system. You usually don’t have something that is usable out of the box. For this reason I have found AntiX helpful. It includes ICEWM, fluxbox, and JWM. The three window managers are pre-configured and the developers have made them easy to modify even if your technical skills are quite modest. It’s a great distro if you want to try a window manager but don’t know how or don’t want to modify text files. In addition, they usually throw in a couple of more minimal window managers for you to play with. Herbsluftwm is one of the current ones.
