Currently running 9.10 with Gnome on my thinkpad x200. I'd like to get a new GUI, which one is best for programming? I'm considering Rat poison but I thought it would be worth getting advice from /prog/ before I commit. Thanks.
Since you think ``Linux'' is synonymous with ``Ubanto'' and are asking about a ``GUI'' rather than a window manager, I'm going to say you need to stick with GNOME for another while. I don't think anyone feels like helping an idiot set up a tiling window manager.
I don't see the value of not being assholes, personally, and >>3 was a helpful answer. The most helpful answer you deserve, anyway, and certainly much more helpful than just saying ``xmonad'' or ``dwm''.
Hint: the gist of it was ``you don't know enough to make a sensible decision, look it up''.
OP, if I were you, I'd take a break from ``Ubanto'' and actually read up on what it is you're asking. Start with reading what the X Window System is (also known as ``X11'' or just simply ``X''), and what a ``window manager'' is.

But what >>1 is asking for is an interface, based on graphics, between him and the computer. What's the problem?

By your logic

The answers to many questions asked in /prog/ are often easily found using Google's web search technology. We'd like for people to get a basic understanding of things using Google's help before coming to us.
>>19 Receiving hostile answers only encourages me to not ask questions all together.
Spelling aside, that's the idea. I don't know why you think asking profoundly ignorant questions on an intermediate programming board amounts to a stream of information; maybe you should try /pr/.
