  1. Hello DDS! Gentoo has emerge as its "package manager". In XFCE you can have the whisker menu which gives you a search function. Or you could install Albert or Synapse. At the beginning you are not immediately interested in conceptual debates but later you might decide to choose a distribution based on his init system. You might decide to avoid certain DE's because of your hardware limitations or because of the philosophy behind it. I utterly dislike Gnome 3: a hog for your resources and systemd related, a team of devs who doesn't care for the users. Qt handles the resources in a much better way: LXQt uses less than 200 MB of RAM after cold boot and KDE Plasma around 440 while Gnome 3 uses at least 850 in the best scenario. Since the migration to Gtk3 Mate has become "heavier" (more than 400 MB while it was around 300 MB under Gtk2). Best regards, Serge
