Desktop? No, thanks.

I enjoy reading articles that introduce window managers. It looks like most people want a "desktop" like KDE, GNOME or XFCE but there are always exceptions to the rule, like me.

When I switched from Windows to Linux, I wanted something different. For me it was great to find out that you don't necessarily need a "desktop" -- a light-weight window manager will do just fine. I also enjoy Linux's powerful command line interface.

A keyboard-driven light-weight window manager like Ion is certainly not to everyone's taste but some of us simply love it. =8^)
