Window Maker lightweight and fast.

Anyone else using Window Maker on the Pi ??

It is working really well for me.

You got it working? Because I think desktop environments are unnecessarily bloaty.

I tried to run naked Openbox at first but it didn't work. I'm not sure why. I'm going to give it another pass soon.

If I had more time in the day, I'd look into porting xmonad.

Yes Window Maker runs fine and is very low usage on resources. All I have done so far is a standard install along with Docker and menumaker.
You are right Gui's are bloat and will slow the Pi down but I am a fairly new Arch user and need a Gui.

[ishpeck]

GUI and Desktop Environments are not the same thing.

[abarbarian]

You are right of course. I stand corrected.
