Project mention: How fedora workstation will run on this laptop? | /r/Fedora | 2023-05-28

Hello 👋, I use Gnome for my ThinkPad it works nice for me. But giving your ram I would suggest a window manager like Qtile which I prefer and I am about move from Gnome to it when I finish my configurations. But if you want something which will be usable out of the box Xfce is a nice choice too as people mentioned above. 😁😁 Here is the link to GitHub for Qtile if you want to give it a glance https://github.com/qtile/qtile

Adds window-tiling hotkeys to any X11 desktop. (An analogue to WinSplit Revolution for people who don't want to use Compiz Grid)

You might wanna have a look at quicktile. It's basically an addon that adds tiling to existing WM. Works well, but lacks some of the intrgrations dedicated tiling WM have.

Note however that I did find a good solution to it via aiomanhole, which allows me to directly interact with the server process and inspect/traverse the objects there. See this config from one of the qtile maintainers for how to set up aiomanhole.
