Previous used Ubuntu Gnome with Compiz but for my basic spec intel macbook (4 years old) its a little too heavyweight. So for now Im back on my macbook with os x, but now considering going back to Linux. Im looking for a window manager that has the following properties:
- Supports virtual desktop (need 4 minimum)
- Works well with multi monitors - can move an app with shortcut from one monitor to the other (on same virtual desktop)
- Can remember window position (i.e. open vim on 2 monitor) - however must coerce everything back to first screen when 2nd screen is unplugged
- Keyboard shortcut friendly
- Not too hard to install
- Works well with minimum hardware such as integrated graphics
Please suggest and share your experiences
