KDE, Unity, even XFCE, are massive, complex software environments that achieve simplicity of user experience through rigid adherence to a given paradigm - and once you can write a shell script, they do remarkably little for you. We'll discuss philosophy, tools, and practical advice for simpler, more reliable, and more powerful computing without a desktop environment, surveying everything from non-annoying network profile handling to the wide world of mouse-free window management and everything in between.
Leander Harding is a developer at Cloud Four and a longtime Linux user. He's been running desktop environment-free since 2007.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. after the meeting.
