  That's because Stéphane and candycanearter07 are both superior Linux
users and posters, to him, he's a joke.  The laughingstock of the
group.  I'd rather have your Winblows setup, than his idiotic computer
system.

At one point I had a Linux setup that looked kind of like his.  I was running Openbox on Manjaro.  You had to right-click on the blank screen to bring up a menu.
On that system, the login screen and desktop you see were actually a separate graphical login manager (SLiM), window manager (Openbox), compositing mgr (compton), panel (tint2panel), right-click menu (Obmenu generator using xml) and wallpaper setter (Nitrogen using .png or .jpg).   Each piece was installed and launched separately.
It was fast, but kind of silly to use.  After you installed an app, you had to manually run a separate program to force the new app to show up in the right-click menu.  Or you could open some text file and add it manually.
That's the kind of crap Feeb does 12 hours a day, when he's not busy doing Nobel-level scientific research.
