Most probobly it is MartinK


pichlo and wicket ...
concur with you both...
the only way to use windows is with foss applications....
even still...the insistence of 10 to update and reboot without permissions is not at all comfortable.
7 is in my opinion more bearable ...it doesn't have the adware for starters...but even 7 has been pushed into the arena of mandatory updates..

Linux is much more comfortable...in that it just works..(shy of kde..yeah ..which is a pity...for years now I have been hoping their "stable" would actually be just that..thanks for that lil' reminder that things haven't changed much there...I was going to give 'er another go this month...I will promptly forget that now...for at least another year or two...)
ReactOS has been coming along well..for the windows-esque compat.
I do miss the co-operative linuxes that used to run on windows...

i3 eh? you're a tiler are you wicket?
I always liked the weird ones...the oddballs...the antiques...
Wmaker (classic)
Fvwm and 2
Fluxbox (loveeee flux)
Flwm
Ice even...
I loved enlightenment...buuuuutttttt....(ach there is always a "but" with enlightenment...I found it is great for optimizing to your system...but lacks real integration...)
I kinda enjoyed what there was of razor...but it keeps getting picked up and dropped ...and changed all the time ..I have pretty much given up hope..

Kde and plasma I did have big hopes for..but yeah ...stability...and I can bear instable..unstable...hell...behind-the-stable even...
but it does get tiring dealing with a system that one just ends up fighting with...
