• In 2MB of memory you get tiling window managers suitable for power users and vi experts.
• Around 10MB you have a bunch of themable window managers with taskbars and menus. For many users this is enough, although we are still in power user territory.
• OpenGL-enabled window managers start around 20MB and bring in shadows, transparency and lots of cool visual effects.
• From 40MB up we have the classic lightweight desktop environments. These DEs are becoming more and more popular as computer hardware update cycles lengthen.
• The latest and greatest cutting-edge desktop features can be found starting from 150MB.

Enjoy your Linux desktop!

 

Thought this might be of interest. The whole three parts of the article is worth a read.

Yeah I posted the original way back in 2013. Been evangelizing about Window Maker since then too, but it ain't making much difference.

Thanks for the links, AB.  Tiling WM's are great.  There was one I used for a while called 'spectrwm'.  It was nice but as I recall, customizing wasn't as easy as i3.
