Hey you know what I like about your posts? I've been using unix/Linux since the 90s and often you post something I've never even heard of, much less tried, like IceWM. Thanks man!
Well it's official Debian sucks. I used the terminal to su me and added me to sudo wheel and root and adm since I was not in any of them when it installed. THe software center sucks terribly. I tried to remove a program, it said I didn't have the credentials to do it, no sign in like every other distro just a denial and fuckoff shawn. Hell when I first tried to install shit it was asking for a debian install dvd even though I installed with a usb stick, you'd think there would be an option for usb.
This is weird, the software center asks for my for password when I launch it. I don't remember what I did (I certainly added me to sudoers, just don't remember how, maybe I edited the file), but shit just werks. At least for my needs.
Damn. I got no time for crap like that. Just finished installing latest Mint Cinnamon 19.2 on some 10 year old pcs with win7 running on a vm. Runs like a champ! With CPU and RAM to spare!
Well here is a resource I used to find the right one or at least not get the wrong window manager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers
