At this point, there are not any recommended system requirements for Razor-qt that I can find, but based on my own tests, it appears that the system requirements for Razor-qt should probably be something similar to Xfce. So the Recommended System Requirements below are the same as those for Xfce. Window managers are, as the term suggests, simply used to manage the opening and closing of programs in a graphical, point-and-click windowed desktop. Window managers can be used as a component of a desktop environment, or they can run on their own.
GNOME 2. All systems tested were bit. Each of these were installed and ran through VirtualBox. In all of the desktop environments and window managers I opened the LX Task Manager lxtask to record the RAM and CPU usage numbers, while each system was at idle after a fresh boot with no other open applications.
Finally, it should be mentioned that this is simply a test I completed out of curiosity, and while the results are interesting, it is probably best for you to use the recommended system requirements for each desktop environment as a guide when deciding which one is best for your computer. Below are my most recent results ranked in order from highest RAM usage to the lowest for the Linux desktop environments and window managers:.

Originally designed by Canonical for use on netbooks , Unity is now the default desktop in Ubuntu In Unity, there is one panel and it is always at the top of the desktop. Additionally, there is a dock -like program launcher which is always on the left side of the desktop. In appearance, Unity very much resembles a Mac OS X desktop where the dock has been positioned on the left side.
Another way to access programs in Unity is by clicking on the Ubuntu symbol found on the left side of the panel. This opens up a box where users can type in the name of desired programs to open them. Unity, in my opinion, seems less cumbersome than GNOME 3 in some respects, but it still feels awkward at times. Just like in Windows, users access the KDE menu by clicking on the the left side of the panel.
By default, KDE has a single menu bar at the bottom of the screen. However, this may be changed by the user. You can click here to see a list of KDE applications.

By default Debian brings GNOME despite it allows to choose different X Window managers, luckily you can always change your desktop environment easily thanks to the tasksel command. Select the desktop environment you want to install, then move with the TAB key to reach the OK button and press enter to continue.
