| Eventually moved to AwesomeWM on X11, then to KDE, then to Gnome
| / Wayland.

| desktop space. Always in a state of "lots more coming!". Today,
| it feels a bit frozen in time, but maybe that's a good thing.
|
| For some reason I keep coming back to Xfce, which also seems like
| it hasn't changed all that much, but has enough usage that it's
| easier to troubleshoot and find solutions to problems.
|
| Might have to spin up Enlightenment for old time's sake and to
| see how things are looking these days.
