• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  I have been using fluxbox[1] for many years now, happily. It's a very barebones thing (in a good way) while also being highly configurable — customizable keyboard shortcuts, menus, scriptability, etc. It is not a tiling WM. It also doesn't have desktop icons by default. I thought I would miss those, but have found I do not. There are options[2] to add that if you want it. So, my setup is ~8 virtual... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I'm so undecided about desktop environments, which one should I choose and why are you recommending it? I need a stable, customizable one.

  If you want to customize in detail your desktop and are not afraid to edit text files, awesome and fluxbox can be your option. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's the good window manager for a beginner?

  As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3. Source: over 2 years ago

• What is your development setup (IDE, gems, library, ci/cd etc) for RoR/non-RoR applications development ?

  Linux (Fedora), gvim (because it opens a new window instead of taking up yet-another-terminal-tab), fluxbox (because it has awesomely configurable hot-key support), dotfiles, chruby + ruby-install (with rubies installed into /opt/rubies), bundler + rspec + yard + rubygems-tasks + gemspec_yml + GitHub Actions on all of my Ruby projects.

• We need a play on "Unix" to get it

• Concerned about GNOME 42 Console

  I didn't know why you said that so I looked at the tilix github site and I see a disclaimer. However, if you look at the commit rate you can see that it is still quite actively maintained and I see no issues when I use it. Source: over 2 years ago

• Transparent terminal

  I use Tilix. It's similar to GNOME Terminal, but with a lot more features. Source: over 2 years ago

• Embrace fall with Dracula Theme

  The terminal you see in the screenshot is tilix with Dracula theme for tilix. The installation process is slightly easier than for gnome terminal. However, I have also installed the gnome terminal theme you linked. I did not encounter any issues while following the instructions. Did you receive any errors during the installation? Have you checked your preference and chosen the right color theme under Profiles ->... Source: over 2 years ago

• What's the preferred terminal emulator people are now using?

  Try Tilix I was looking for an iTerm2 replacement on Linux and Tilix came for me the closest. Screenshot here https://imgur.com/a/D95OkRi Github repo: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix. Source: almost 3 years ago
