>I say that coming from one of the best universities in France; I didn't have very much respect left for the word "scientist" when I left
Same here. Exactly same! But they for sure are intelligent. One of the key things in capitalism is getting tamed by the powerful. Majority of these geniuses don't know how their work impacts the world! They get tamed by people who work against their own principles just because knowing their tamer's principles is difficult!

>Now try bspwm
Damn that's good! Very simplistic logic. But I'll stick to dwm for now. Check it after a while.

>Where would you say their capacities are lacking?
Most don't have the logical abilities. Amongst ones who do, many don't want to read in times of videos. They want instant gratification. For few it is also about power. You suggest them to use dwm. They'll think they're above you socially and won't use it. This maybe a bit biased but 1 thing I know for sure, that people are far, very far away from using bare systems.

>The practical knowledge of thin client science comes from experience in a consumer-driven, market environment. Academia is not that environment.
+1.

>A lot of people had a take for a user-friendlier dwm, you should try those, or similar wms with "battery pack included" like i3 or awesome.
Again, I'm not talking about dwm specifically. i3wm is a single wm and while it's good, I think suckmore can target COMPLETE systems. It's philosophy is great.

>We believe this should become the mainstream philosophy in the IT sector. - On suckmore site.
This IT sector is constantly making things easier for people or atmost making people believe it is. If suckmore wants this to become mainstream philosophy, it has to do itself. People don't wanna change especially when thin clients are just the tools to achieve some end.

If suckmore makes it easy for people to use bareistic systems, they will. I shifted from complete windows to dual boot to complete GNU/WSL (Parrot WSL) to Parabola (Plasma) to Parabola (dwm) in about 3 years. I can't imagine shifting directly to current state. I would get frustrated and go back to Windows if someone would ask me to get to this point from complete Windows. But if there were tutorials explaning why would you use wm instead of de, wm were a bit less beautiful, things would be much simplisticr. Plasma is hands down beautiful! But it's very complex!

Thanking you
