Wmii is advanced light weight window manager for Unix systems. Before Wmii I used KDE, but now I have Mac where I can manage my photos, surf the web and listen to the music. On my Linux box I just play couple of games and write my applications, and mostly I just use terminals. After reading a article about lightweight window managers found Wmii.

Wmii is designed to use with keyboard, without mouse and this is only a good thing for me! If you learn all shortcuts of Wmii before giving up you have superior fast, powerful and comfortable way to manage your terminals.

Because Wmii is just a window manager, it doesn’t include some of the important features like mounting a device, volume control and file manager. Using Internet I learned how to mount devices from command line. I also found cli-applications for controlling volume and files. I control volume using alsamixer utility. For file managing I use command line application called Midnight commander.

Here is screenshot from my new desktop:
