Why waste RAM on something you have *no* need for and doesn't *do*
anything that the console does just as well?

Because I like shiny. Shiny == good. Anyway, I have the RAM to
spare, so... SHINY!!!

Get off my lawn, you young whippersnappers!

If it makes you feel better, the main reason I use a window
manager is so that I can have lots of consoles open at the same
time (what else would you use this GUI thing for?) ;-)

You will also need a display manager

"*Window* manager" != "*display* manager".

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
