Hi, Roelof Wobben wrote:
You definitely need a window manager. WindowMaker is suggested, but nothing prevents you to run GNUstep applications inside any KDE or Gnome.Hello, I want to try gnustep instead of the big WM as KDE and Gnome. But I wonder if I can use gnustep alone or must I use a wm like etoille to see if this is something for me.
At its core, GNUstep is only a bunch of frameworks for OpenStep. The GNUstep project also supplies some developer tools (ProjectCenter, Gorm, EasyDiff...) and some essential user tools (GWorkspace, SystemPreferences, examples) which a are absolutely optional and can be replaced at your will.
You may want to look at our application list on the Wiki and have a look at the two projects wanting to supply GNUstep with the rest to make a Destkop environment: étoilé (etoileos.com) and the GNUstep Application Project (GAP: gap.nongnu.org).
Nothing prevents you to do some mix&match.I suggest you to look at the various applications, read around on our website and try to make yourself an idea of what is available, since some applications are stand-alone projects (http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Category:Applications).
