At one point I had a Linux setup that looked kind of like his.  I was 
running Openbox on Manjaro.  You had to right-click on the blank screen 
to bring up a menu.

On that system, the login screen and desktop you see were actually a 
separate graphical login manager (SLiM), window manager (Openbox), 
compositing mgr (compton), panel (tint2panel), right-click menu (Obmenu 
generator using xml) and wallpaper setter (Nitrogen using .png or .jpg). 
  Each piece was installed and launched separately.

It was fast, but kind of silly to use.  After you installed an app, you 
had to manually run a separate program to force the new app to show up 
in the right-click menu.  Or you could open some text file and add it 
manually.

That's the kind of crap Feeb does 12 hours a day, when he's not busy 
doing Nobel-level scientific research.
