You can make WM like i3wm or dwm into a DE by just implementing most features. And even then, most usability features are already there (you can still move windows with the mouse, clicking on icons, etc). @CeesTimmerman | |

| May 18, 2020 at 22:39 | comment | added | secemp9 | but as i already stated, you need to at least see for yourself what work for you before making a decision...(though that's obvious, i just feel like it's important to say too) | |
| May 18, 2020 at 22:38 | comment | added | secemp9 | yeah, it all depend in what you want in a DE...if you don't care about how much ram/cpu it use, and just want user friendly and eye candy, then the popular selection (Gnome, KDE) will do just fine...However, if you prefer something less resources "hungry", any of the other one (LXDE, etc) will do too...then come WM. WM is better than you would think, but i wouldn't recommend using those unless you know what you want (as already mentioned). eg: you know you'll end up just moving windows, tabs around etc. if so, then WM might be an option for you. | |
