But sometimes, it suddenly starts using an extensive amount of GPU power, which hampers the system’s performance. Though, it uses a minimal system’s graphics resources to work properly.

If you're interested in JWM, try it out today, and see if you can make your own window manager, too. Desktop Window Manager (DWM) is a crucial Windows process that renders items to display on your system’s desktop. Joe's Window Manager, in a way, demonstrates the rich diversity of open source and how it's a luxury Linux users enjoy. For technical users, the XML configuration may be a refreshing change from the custom configuration formats in other environments. For example, the quick and easy setup of a taskbar and application menu makes for a quick, sensible default configuration for all the users who want that common setup. And often, the strengths of each project are in the minor details. Should one project's implementation of a desktop paradigm fade, you have many others to choose from. When looking at software projects, redundancy is a good thing.

There are a few reasons JWM is as important as any of the others. There's no shortage of lightweight window managers available for Linux, and you might wonder why there seems to be so much redundancy, much less why you should try Joe's. Configuration options are well-documented on, home of the JWM project. Configuration files are written in XML, but the schema is very basic and easy to reverse-engineer, whether you know XML or not. The system-wide configuration file is /etc/jwm/system.jwmrc, and the user local file is $HOME/.jwmrc.

I use PCManFM-Qt as a file manager, unicode-rxvt as a terminal, and, of course, Firefox as an internet browser. Most of the integration between applications is done by D-Bus and other backend technology on Linux, so it's safe to mix and match them. You can get applications from any desktop, like GNOME or KDE, or you can use independent applications. There aren't any applications bundled with JWM, so it's up to you to decide what applications to use.
