was like:
that's one of the great things about the massive variety for me - I can
run gnome for every day stuff and switch to fluxbox for super minimal when
I want to perform, or concentrate on making things without distraction.
in that sense - it is important in an indirect way to making music, as why
should the same interface you'd use for office tasks work as well for
music making?

It has been thrilling to watch how Linux audio
software has matured, but I have always felt I'm not
completely happy with any of the current X.org Window
Managers.
Somehow I've built an image that E17 might be what
I've been looking for. I don't know why, but it feels
like it could be perfect choice for Linux audio
workstation. Future will tell if my instincts are
right or wrong.
I'm still waiting to try E17. Isn't Enlightenment equally resource hungry
as KDE? Personally I prefer the minimalism and nice looks of Openbox for
music making. Frankly, these days WM choice is really about personal
style, if you're running a machine which is properly set up and powerful
enough to run most music software, then it shouldn't make that much
difference what WM you use.
