From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m currently testing Fedora KDE on a VM (windows host) before eventually switching over to Linux completely.

No DE. Just openbox + polybar + rofi

Do you think OpenBox is usable with minimal config? I'm looking for a WM which I won't have to spend too much of time configuring, which is why I'm considering floating WMs

Honestly you can use Openbox right out the bag if you really wanted to. If you need to configuring autostart and hotkeys and the menu is really easy

I'll configure the theme, hot-keys and maybe install a compositor or something. Thanks for the tip, I'm trying to decide between OpenBox and IceWM right now
