It's not entirely rubbish. If you run older low-spec machines, using lighter
weight WMs does make a difference. It is not true or fair to say that GNOME
and KDE are 'really bad', however. If you have a fairly modern box, it
doesn't make much difference what your favourite Desktop Environment is.

It might be better for the promotion of Musix not to be so disparaging about
other distros. The project sounds interesting, but the wording of the
announcement has put me off a bit.
