Hello Folks,
people say that there are so many ways to tune linux OS. I would like to tune my arch linux. At the moment, I am using gnome as desktop environment. It is a fresh installed OS.
Just a second ago, I saw the following video.

And yes, as far as I know, it is possible to change the WM in Gnome.
Personally I just use OpenBox, but is possible to run OpenBox WM within Gnome Desktop Enviro.
If you want OpenBox within in Gnome Desktop Enviro. you can read this guide:

Did you configure it yourself? Can you please consult me with the particular configuration?

As stated before, I just use OpenBox without Gnome Desktop Enviroment.
I followed the ArchLinux OpenBox guide found here:

Hello there,
The Arch Wiki actually gives instructions on running Openbox with Gnome:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox
The Wiki entry also includes links to plenty of software, starting from panels and such.
