Change it up & live on the ‘wilder’ side

If you want a true signature xfce4 (or gnome or kde or…) desktop, you might consider replacing xfwm (or your gnome/kde/etc native window manager) with a tiling window manager…

Here are some examples (all xfce oriented). You might consider using a tiler like:

bspwm

There’s no reason to be plain vanilla, unless you want to be. You can always have some fun & live on the ‘wilder’ side.. just a little bit. 😉
