Most of the Linux users should be familiar with Gnome and KDE since both of them are the most commonly used desktop managers in the various Linux distros. Now, if you are using an old PC with low hardware specs, you might find that the above two desktop environments are too heavy for your computer to handle.
In this case, you will have to consider using an alternative lightweight desktop manager for your Linux. Here are 8 of the best lightweight desktop managers that I personally use and recommend.
If you are using Linux with GNOME as your desktop manager, then I’m sure you will be familiar with Nautilus. Nautilus is the default file manager for Gnome - the place where you go to when you need to hunt down a particular file. In case you are not aware, Nautilus also serves the context menu whenever you right-click your mouse on the desktop.
I have way too much stuff - so much in fact that it’s often difficult to keep track of it all. Rather than get rid of some of it though, I’ve done what any self-respecting person who calls himself a geek and a collector would do: I turned to the internet.
In the process I managed to find four open source programs that all call themselves “collection managers.” That is, they all claim to make it easy to catalog and keep track of your collections of things like books, movies, and CDs.
