Why is my windoze so damned SLOW?

toadlife:
Oh,in case you were wondering, yes, my FreeBSD kernel is heavily modified. Nothing is loaded into it that doesn't need to be.

piratePenguin:
Fluxbox has everything!
What does Windows have that fluxbox hasn't?

Aloone_Jonez:
Windows has a fully featured desktop, while fluxbox is just a Window manager.


I agree with toadlife, we're comparing Windows XP which has a fully featured desktop with a UNIX version running just a simple Window manager.

Well personally I consider Xfce to be more than a just a Window manager - it's light-weight desktop too, so perhaps my comparason isn't so unfair. :D

I was just gonna mention XFCE! I tried it out earlier on and it loaded in practically the same time a fluxbox, if not faster. It's absolutely amazing, looks cool and all. Gonna start using it soon.

I used to love KDE, and then I moved on to GNOME. But there's not much need for huge desktop enviornments like that.
And there's stuff in GNOME and KDE that isn't in the Windows desktop thing (well I don't know this. But there better be!),

Aloone_Jonez:
That's true KDE (I don't know too much about GNOME) has many features not found in the Windows desktop, like when you place the mouse cursor over a picture file the preview pops up. The choice is yours, I like XFCE because it's a happy medium between a full bloat desktop and feature lacking window manager.
