Hi:
Hope this isn't off topic for this list. Would someone be
willing to suggest a Window Manager that would work well with a Linux
audio box using the Planet CCRMA images? I have used the Gnome and
KDE environments and just have come to feel that they are too bloated
for what I'm trying to do.
Does using a Window Manager instead of a full-blown desktop such
as Gnome mean that I can have more audio processing power since I am
giving up graphics overhead?
I am trying out fvwm and it is pretty sparse, but was wondering
what others might suggest as best for audio?
Many thanks,
try xfce4. It's nice, not too resourec hungry, and doesn't seem to
interfere by having sound daemons, etc.. Actually it brings its own
panel, taskbar, etc, with it..
The file manager isn't as great, but i am a shell monkey anyway :)
