    OpenBox, IceWM and Fluxbox are far from the only floating window managers. I use KDE/Kwin and I’m pretty happy with it.

    The article is super short and doesn’t contain relevant information. Maybe try to include more text, more images, generally more of what people like to read. Currently your blog doesn’t contribute much to the general Linux ecosystem and is just another noob-focused rehash of stuff seen elsewhere.

    If I wanted to find out what the best stacking/floating window manager is, I’d just look at the Arch Wiki page on window managers and open their respective home pages. You didn’t even include screenshots, nor did you include example configuration, just a short rundown.

      To add some additional constructive criticism, consider re-branding your blog as a personal journey blog, with posts that recount your experiences with different types of software and operating systems. Include your preferences! What didn’t you like? What did you like? Which did you choose after trying them all?

      Titles like What is the Best – For You? give the impression that the article will be detailed, helpful, and technically oriented. Try instead, something along the lines of IceWM, OpenBox, and FluxBox: My First Impressions. This will also make the spelling errors and poor phrasing much more forgivable.

      But, as @Helix mentions, include screenshots, configuration files, and even a pros and cons list.
