@tux0r I list them, so I know which distros emphasize which window Managers/Desktop
Environments. Generally distros provide excellent clues to learn from... As for sameness, it is difficult to achieve design & implementation objectives if you don't know how someone created a particular setup. New tools and tricks appear all the time.
und so geht es...oder?
I personally write-up what I learn and share it. Not everyone does that, though. I can assure you, it's Free and worth every penny. Seriously though, you are free to wander my writings to check the details and understand more of what I do with what I discover, assuming that is of interest.
