+ % talk about the difference between a desktop environment and a window manager:
+ % a desktop environment (like GNOME, KDE, Xfce) is a collection of
+ % programs, libraries (including a graphical toolkit) and configuration.
+ % it usually aims for a coherent look and feel and comes with a number of
+ % tools (g*, like gedit, geeqie, …)
+ % One of the programs of a DE is a window manager.

+% compare this to a screenshot of i3:
+% notice the little amount of toolbars.
+% notice the lack of fancy window decorations
+% notice the absence of a desktop.
+% instead, you get to use the full screen.
