Focus Oriented Desktop Environment?


Looking into focus oriented desktop environment for GNU/Linux, something minimalistic like Sway but easer to use, that let user use the mouse, similar to much easier to install MNM Reform environment (see https://twitter.com/mntmn/status/1406573765643939840/photo/1)

Openbox is probably the easiest and most minimal. You can bring it up to the level of something like LXDE or XFCE very easily, or just keep it minimal as it is.

There's loads of them.[1] Seems like you want the ones with "graphical configuration". Openbox, Fluxbox and others allow everything to done using the mouse.

I'm very happy running StumpWM on NixOS without desktop enviroment (just Emacs, Firefox and XTerm).

StumpWM is written in Common Lisp and trivial to customize even if you don't know Lisp.

StumpWM has a really good and simple implementation of manual tiling. After using XMonad for many years, dynamic tiling never clicked for me.

Gnome 3?

It expects you to only have one monitor (on a tablet), which is as focused as it gets. :p
