OK linux nerds. I've been a long-time Debian user with minimal WMs: Blackbox, Fluxbox, Openbox. I love how configurable and fast they are.

But... most of my apps are Gnome and they're so hard to keep working in a standard X setup. I want working color management and display drivers and SSH/GPG keyrings that aren't horribly confused all the time. Thinking I may have to bite the bullet and move to a "normal" desktop environment.

What are folks using these days? XFCE on Debian? Ubuntu? Mint?
