Un window manager è un programma che gestisce l'aspetto e la posizione di una finestra nel X Window System, un sistema grafico usato principalmente sotto Unix.
Chi scopre il mondo Linux rimane favorevolmente colpito dal grande numero di window manager a disposizione dell'ambiente grafico X-Windows. E così si cerca di provarli tutti, finendo per avere sull'hard disk decine di mega occupati.
Vediamo quello che si adatta meglio alle nostre esigenze.
In questa ottava e ultima puntata dai popolari Xfce e X-Server all'ultima versionedi X11 passando per altri windows manager un po' meno conosciuti ma non meno validi come Xdm, Video Xfonts, Xvt, ed altri comandi e utility.
In questa settima puntata, in ordine alfabetico da x-ttcidfont-conf a Zim
X11 è di fatto il gestore grafico standard per tutti i sistemi Unix.
X Window System, noto in gergo come X Window o X11 (o, ancora più semplicemente, come X), è di fatto il gestore grafico standard per tutti i sistemi Unix (GNU/Linux e BSD compresi); è attualmente mantenuto dalla X.Org Foundation e rilasciato sotto una licenza di software libero.
Supportato dai produttori di hardware grafico, è ormai usato secondariamente anche da altri sistemi operativi (es. Mac OS X, che usa nativamente Quartz) per permettere il funzionamento del software progettato per questo sistema grafico, come la suite da ufficio OpenOffice.org e GIMP.
X fornisce l'ambiente e i componenti di base per le interfacce grafiche, ovvero il disegno e lo spostamento delle finestre sullo schermo e l'interazione con il mouse e la tastiera. X non gestisce invece l'interfaccia grafica utente o lo stile grafico delle applicazioni: tutti questi aspetti sono gestiti direttamente da ogni singola applicazione.

Xawtv permette ad una persona di guardare la televisione e registrarne i programmi tramite un PC usando un sintonizzatore TV.
Xawtv è un programma che permette ad una persona di guardare la televisione e registrarne i programmi tramite un PC usando un sintonizzatore TV, un ricevitore satellitare o una scheda DVB-S. Xawtv funziona su sistemi operativi di tipo Unix, ed è rilasciato sotto licenza GNU GPL.
Il programma non favorisce nessun particolare desktop environment, infatti xawtv viene con applicazioni che usano widget basate su Motif, così come X11 e le applicazioni a linea di comando. Xawtv funziona con Video4linux e XVideo ed ha un'interfaccia minimalistica.

- Xfce ambiente desktop per vari sistemi Unix-like, un ottimo compromesso tra leggerezza e funzionalità.
Xfce è un ambiente desktop per vari sistemi Unix-like (come GNU/Linux o FreeBSD) che richiede meno risorse dei più blasonati GNOME e KDE, risultando così un ottimo compromesso tra leggerezza e funzionalità.
Xfce è basato sul toolkit GTK+, ed è composto da numerose applicazioni:
* xfwm4 (il window manager)
* xfce4-panel (il caratteristico pannello)
* xfdesktop (il gestore del desktop)
* xfce4-session (il gestore delle sessioni)
* xfprint (il gestore di stampa)
Più diverse librerie ed altri strumenti utili come Thunar (il file manager), Mousepad (l'editor di testo), Orage (il calendario) ecc.

Xorg è un'applicazione pubblica e open-source del sistema X-window versione 11.
Xorg è un'applicazione pubblica e open-source del sistema X-window versione 11.
Dal momento che Xorg è la scelta più popolare tra gli utenti Linux, la sua ubiquità ha portato a renderlo un requisito sempre presente per le applicazioni GUI, con conseguente adozione massiccia dalla maggior parte delle distribuzioni.
Viene fornito con la maggior parte delle distribuzioni Linux e con BSD.
XOrg, si può dire, è la prosecuzione di ciò che è stato XFree86: quest'ultimo, cambiando licenza e rendendosi incompatibile con la GPL, non poteva più essere incluso nelle distribuzioni Linux ed è stato necessario avviare un nuovo progetto, nel quale sono confluiti la maggior parte dei programmatori di XFree86.
