Xfce works nicely with Bspwm window manager. I dont need polybar or other hard to configure status bars. Xfce panels are easier and you can make them looking like a typical polybar if you want ๐Ÿ˜‰. Maybe Mate can do the same, idon't know.

Kiss linux. Gobolinux. They are both alien, but interesting, each one in its own way.

You're following the Unix philosophy.

I'm ignorant about display servers. Should applications be ported from a Wayland compositor to another Wayland compositor that has a different "protocol extension" ?

Sorry for the bad link, I will be more careful for the next time.

In the official website, the glibc page was updated with a new glibc layer. You can also check if you have "nouveau" drivers for Nvidia.

The Alpine simplicity is attractive, but I failed to install it while keeping my /home partition. Setting this manually is beyond my skills.

It can fits as a desktop wallpaper.

Personnaly I don't need to manipulate windows with Bspwm. How they spawn is fine for me.

I don't use i3 because windows spawns in such a layout that force to use shortcuts for changing the layout. Bspwm displays everything in nice rectangles.

To start apps you can keep an application menu in your bar, such as Whisker menu, or the KDE bar, while having a tiling window manager, so you can run apps with mouse clicks. And after the spawn you should not need to manipulate them if you use more automatized tiling WM such as Bspwm or Xmonad.

I'm annoyed by these Gnome centered distros. If I had to choose a single DE for a distro, I 'd choose a flexible one that can run on potatoes, such as Xfce. I suppose Xfce as default is a part of the MX linux popularity.

In the meantime you can give a look to the Servo project. If Servo is clean for you, you can support them.
