following the rules of the ten commandments is something that leads to a somewhat healty community

Except the first four is all about how you must follow and obey the Xian god. It’s the last six that are fairly practical, almost to the point of common sense.

FWIW, I use the OpenBox install of Endeavour OS, with a few simple tweaks of my own. As far as I know OpenBox isn’t actively maintained, but it Just Works™.

I’m on EndeavourOS, too. I don’t see anything near that kind of memory drain, but I’ve been using window managers instead of desktop environments for a long time.

For ages I had old, poorly specced laptops, and the big DEs like KDE would quickly cap what memory I had for actual software. And I’m not even a gamer, this would be GIMP or a plain browser that would crash because of too little RAM.

Even now, with more memory and better CPU, I stuck to the habit of using a WM instead, and everything really just runs better. You do sacrifice some eye candy and built-in functions, but IMHO it’s worth the tradeoff.

Not as much as people clutch their pearls over a five pointed Fediverse logo…

Ermahgerd, it’s santanic!

You know, I’m more interested in Unix than in your superstitions.
