Thankfully for things other than books (and maybe also for books), a lot of companies offer two day shipping now. Sometimes there’s an order minimum for that but I find that most of the time my purchase exceeds the order minimum anyway.

A shopping mall and a dumpster full of worthless crap, but you often can’t tell if you’re looking at an item from the shopping mall or the dumpster.

It’s the fizz. I love iced tea, hot tea, and a variety of other drinks. But I was a huge soda fiend.

I switched to sparkling water and HATED it for like 6 months. Now I’ll drink more of it than I was drinking soda.

I still have cola mixed with alcohol, but that’s it.

Both KDE and Gnome can be seen as pretty bloated. They come pre-packaged with a lot of programs and tools that sit around unused, possibly even having corresponding daemons running for no reason.

For someone who doesn’t want to think about their computer, and just want to know it’s prepared for anything, they may want that. But if they left windows/mac to have a smaller, simpler OS that isn’t wasting CPU cycles or disk space on superfluous stuff, then KDE/Gnome might not suit them.

Edit: that said, I’ve heard of a lot of alternative DEs/WMs, but I’ve never heard of JWM. I’ve heard good things about Budgie, might also check that out.

They’re using a window manager over a full DE, so it’s likely the usual case of preferring minimalism to the very complete desktop environment (which many consider bloated). I’m a window manager person myself, but I’ve been giving KDE a good honest try for the past couple of weeks. It’s definitely very nice if you want the full DE experience.

Some people hate books.
