I've been using Fluxbox for a decade, and couldn't stand OSX or Windows when I tried using them for a few months. Fluxbox looks slick and it's super fast, though it took a while to configure. I have nothing behind my windows but a background image and a clock, battery, wifi indicator, and the desktop number in the lower right corner. I start most programs from the terminal anyway and use virtual desktops instead of minimizing things.

I defined keystrokes for resizing windows, opening terminals, switching between virtual desktops. Using alt-click to drag and resize windows is also nice because it means the windows need almost no frame and you don't have to aim. Now I get frustrated with other OSes. For example, when I read a book off a webpage with useless banners on the top and bottom, I like to resize my browser so it's larger than the screen and the useless parts of the webpage are off the screen. This is easy to do if you have keystrokes for resizing windows....

On the other hand, everyone else has trouble using my computer. And this will likely get worse. Eventually I'll switch from Dvorak to a steno keyboard.

An os is just a bootloader to run emacs full screen.

Pop!_OS from System76 looks even better than elementaryOS.

Why is all about gui/looks?

Learn to live in the terminal, and all will be well... I say that and I still haven't completely grokked VIM, but I CAN exit!

I care about not having a burning urge to stab my eyes every 5 seconds :)
