I don't even use a desktop environment. Gonna be using a window manager for ever. Most of everything is run on the command line anyway.

How do you browse the Internet then?

Seamonkey, Firefox, etc. You do not need a desktop environment to run a webbrowser.

I've used WindowMaker as a Window manager for decades. Only recently did I decide to switch to Mate because I wanted a taskbar at the bottom with useful things like applets to show and switch Wifi/network, volume control and often-used icons/launchers.

TBH, if I could get things like tint2 and yabar working with the mate applets, I'd probably switch back to WindowMaker in a heartbeat.

You can use normal applications in a window manager. Window manager ≠ terminal

you can start programs with just X. i use simple WMs but have put kodi in its own dedicated session. its kind of like kiosk mode.
