I'm reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

  • Yes, you can absolutely use a WM without a DE. A DE is usually just a set of preconfigured and pre-installed applications. If you use a WM like i3 etc. you just get something that draws windows, and no settings and bluetooth applications
  • It influences my choosing because window managers usually don't come with a terminal, and you have to manually install a terminal emulator. But on desktop environments I use the default terminal, although I could also install kitty.

Oooh... I see. I didn't understand how broad the Desktop Env really are. Is not that they manage "a lot of things regarding the desktop and windows"... is just like a bundle of apps.

Now it's starting to sound like a sub-distro inside the distros, but I think this is a good point to stop bothering you. Thanks again!

For most people, a different desktop environment probably makes a bigger difference than a different distro. They won't notice things like a different package manager
