Please guide me. > Compiz, unity and the like just slow the system down a lot. The purpose of a desktop environment for me is really just to see the things I need to see and nothing more. For this reason, I always find myself falling back to Tiling window managers like dwm[1] or i3[2]. These are the 2 i've used and I can tell you they remove a LOT of clutter from the screen and allow you to totally focus. You should try them out; i3 especially. Here is a nice talk on i3[3] from the guy who made it. You can try out things like awesomeWM or xmonad too, but i've never used them myself I use i3 on a Intel Atom netbook and i've never really had any problem except when I open a high performant website with firefox. Otherwise since my work is majorly around terminals, it works like a charm. Hope it helps.
