I often get people telling me that they don’t see the point of using a tiling window manager. I think part of the problem is the name “tiling window manager”. People assume that the only difference between a tiling window manager and a traditional desktop environment is the tiling. But the main reason I choose…

I don’t like the default graphical software centers that almost all desktop Linux distributions ship with these days. In my opinion, the best graphical software center for Debian and Ubuntu-based distros is the Synaptic Package Manager. Synaptic used to be the default software center on most Debian-based distros.
