Re: Gnome2/Mate-like desktop switcher -- avaiable in unity?
I loved fvwm back in 1994. It looked very pretty and fairly futuristic. Did the job well too. Ran well on my 486DX 66MHz which I was proud to own (with a massive 16MB or RAM, or was it 32MB..).
Don't see today's GUIs (window managers, as we called them) looking that much better to be honest.
Of course, consistency between window manager look, and app look and feel, was and has always been one Achilles heel of unices.
