It is created by a community of people dedicated to create a free, open-source and user-friendly computing experience. KDE offers all the necessary means to easily build all kinds of ... [More] applications upon our libraries, as well as offers many applications out of the box. From a media player, to a text editor, to a workspace, a web browser, a file manager, and so on. KDE has been around since 1996, with the code change history dating back at least to 1997. KDE is one of the biggest free software C++ projects around and one of the two leaders of UNIX desktops.

[More] powerful and bloated, but to be usable and slim enough, and keep the resource usage low. Different from other desktop environments, we don't tightly integrate every component. Instead, we tried to make all components independent, and each of them can be used independently with few dependencies. LXDE uses Openbox as its default Window Manager and aims at offering a lightweight and fast desktop based on mutually independents components. [Less]

Unagi Compositing Manager

Unagi is a modular compositing manager which aims to be efficient, lightweight and responsive. It is currently written in C programming language and based on XCB library client library. Any existing window manager can be used as long as it implements properly EWMH and ICCCM specifications (or at ... [More] least parts of it which are needed), which is generally the case nowadays. This project also aims to provide a functional and stable software to improve window manager usability from an end-user point of view (for instance windows translucency, application-switcher using live thumbnails instead of plain icons, Exposé...), therefore it does not intend at all to provide useless eye-candy effects.
