Openbox - Thinvent Industrial PCs with Intel Core i5 and i7

What Is Openbox?

Openbox is a window manager for Linux and BSD desktops. It is highly configurable. Users can change almost every aspect of how they interact with the desktop. Openbox is not a complete desktop environment. It manages the placement, borders and behavior of application windows, and it runs with lightweight desktop tools.

Key Features of Openbox

Openbox includes a default autostart. This sets up an environment for GNOME and KDE applications to run correctly, if those applications are installed. It also supports SCIM language input. Menus are configured with XML files. A menu can be generated from the current environment when the window manager restarts. A static menu does not change with the environment.

Openbox and Thinvent Hardware

Openbox runs on Linux. Thinvent products that ship with Ubuntu Linux can run Openbox. These include the Industrial PC IPC3 and the Industrial PC IPC5 with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Thinvent products that ship with Windows 11 do not run Openbox natively. Openbox needs no special hardware. Its requirements are set by the Linux distribution and the desktop tools that are installed with it.
