What's your favorite DE and why? I like MATE. >easy

>>55707773
Flashback

XFCE. I don't have to worry about shit breaking and my Arch install doesn't pull hundreds of megabytes of updates every week for it (like kde). Ultimate just werks. Integrates very well with lightdm and lightlocker. Modular.

I just started using Cinnamon, and I think it might have to be my new favorite...

>>55707832
I want to love KDE. I really do. I used to. But every theme reminds me of Windows XP Media Center Edition.

Currently using MATE. Would anyone recommend giving KDE a try? How much more ram intensive is it compared to MATE? I mean granted, I have 32GB of ram, so it's not a huge deal. But I don't want an OS that idles with 6GB ram usage like Windows 10 is prone to doing whenever I need to boot into that partition.

>>55707773
I like MATE too, but still use gnome 3, kde, cinnamon, and others

>>55708105
I can recommend KDE, yes. It's not as RAM intensive as people make it out to be, my install uses about 600 MB on a fresh boot. Likewise, my CPU does a whole lot of not very much, sitting at 1% load while idling.
That said, KDE does need GPU acceleration to run well at all, but a somewhat modern Intel integrated GPU is plenty enough for this.

>>55707984 here btw.

>>55708175
I'm on a 980ti. Would that run right? As in not lagging, or hitching? Mate is good thus far don't get me wrong, but that plasma desktop always looked so awesome.

>>55708194
Well, it runs beautifully on my laptop with Intel HD 3000. No lagging, hitching, tearing, or anything of the sort here.
Given how much more powerful your 980 Ti is, I'd say you're good.

>>55708194
Mate runs fine on my d2550 and igpu, pretty sure kde isn't so bloated that it won't run smooth on some outdated junker like gt210, yet alone 980 ti

>Mate runs fine on my d2550 and igpu, pretty sure kde isn't so bloated that it won't run smooth on some outdated junker like gt210, yet alone 980 ti

Yea I know my card has the power, just didn't know if drivers for said card would come into play. I.e. would the driver properly allow gpu acceleration.

I'll give it a go on my spare desktop tonight. Spare is only running 4GB ddr3 and and AMD Sempron 3850. So if it runs great there, I'll put it on my 6700k/980ti setup

Absolute lightest DE for Ubuntu that looks pretty and not outdated?

>inb4 jwm

Tried out and I'm still too noob to use anything so basic comfortably.

How easy is it to configure openbox?
If I start off with Ubuntu mate, can I remove mate after setting up my own desktop?

I don't care much about ricing features either.

I just like the look of xfce, though I don't use it.

>>55710195
>how easy is it to configure
sudo nano /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml
to edit what appears in the menu; reading XML is piss easy

sudo nano ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
to edit finer details like keyboard shortcuts, or just apt-get obconf for a simpler GUI settings control

>can I remove mate
Of course. You'll get to select between openbox and mate at login while they're both installed, and if you remove either it just disappears from the options and makes the other default

Cinnamon is the best.
It's basically perfection. All the eye-candy of GNOME without the retarded design ideas.
IMO:
1. Cinnamon
2. XFCE
3. KDE
4. Mate
5. GNOME
6. Unity

I love CDE for nostalgic purposes, but XFCE is probably my favorite overall. It has a pretty shitty settings manager, but other than that, it's extremely versatile while not being bloated and a general clusterfuck like GNOME or KDE. Pic related is XFCE.

it's kinda tightly integrated into ubuntu unity. Logs everything you do on your machine (which files accessed, chats, etc.) and makes that available between apps.
Trying to remove it wrecks your desktop. Nautilus gets deinstalled. You can't access the dashboard anymore. Some people experience problems with login or even startup of their systems.
If I wanted a botnet I'd stayed with windows.

Xfce. It just werks™

KDE used to be one of the best years ago before they added a bunch of maymay features.

It's absolute shit for multimonitor support. It wouldn't save the settings ONLY for my monitor settings. I couldn't find any way to have the monitors not mirror each other. After a fresh install the monitors would run flawlessly, but soon the second monitor would just mirror the first instead of acting as more desktop real estate.

GNOME, on the other hand, has phenomenal multimonitor support. I prefer everything else about KDE, but GNOME kicks the shit out of KDE in terms of multimontor use. Simplistic settings that have just enough settings for any type of customization; best of all, it actually works.

Everything is nice and perfect. It's a nice DE, with a simple taskbar that does the job. It have the applets I need (notification, volume and player manager), it's easy to find and install a theme.
Everything works like you would expect (shortkeys, how the UI respond).

>downside of it
It is not as fast as XFCE for example.
You don't have bordeless windows when maximized
Few applets and extensions doesn't works / are buggy / make your DE crash
The DE itself can crash randomly. After an update in my debian machine an option on the settings disappeared for example, while it's still there on another machine, Or at the end of a video in fullscreen with MPV the DE crash and I have to restart it. Few things like that..

>>55725530
Which elements are part of the desktop environment then? What if I have a program that uses programs normally only accessible in the ``shell''? Like a quick and dirty zenity script that copies files around as part of the DE initializing itself - would that count as part of the DE or no?

>>55725549
DE is a subset of the userland. Shell is not DE, it's a major component by itself. A zenity script is just a interface that is created for the user to interact with the shell. They are not the same thing

>A zenity script is just a interface that is created for the user to interact with the shell.

File managers interact with shell and it doesn't mean shell is the file manager or file manager is the shell, shell is a bigger thing.
Why are you still trying to win an obvious defeat, tripfag?

Lurk moar

>>55725638
Well because I could easily just make a script/plugin for explorer to make CON files, which would mean that my DE would be able to make ``certain files'' as you called them.

Good, now make COM1, COM2, COM3 whenever and whatever you feel like.

I don't personally feel the need to do this, but it would be very easy to do so.

Holy fuck this guy is a master level troll. There is literally no way the guy he is arguing against can post anything else or he'll owe him 5 dollars. He just guaranteed himself the last word. Remarkable.

1: vs lolipantsu is practicality subjective starts at 5443758
May 8 2016
breakdown:
lolipantsu makes claim practicality is in the eye of the beholder
I disagree, on the grounds that practicality can be measured
lolipantsu says whatever works for you as an individual.
I explain practicality is how well/efficiently something fills a requirement and that requirements
are personal but not practicality
I use square holes/round pegs argument
She says that just because I don't know how something works doesn't mean it's not practical
I ask him to clarify as that statement does not seem to back up his argument and seems irrelevant
He claims he was meming all along
I claim victory

2: vs an anti ram user
May 16 2016
breakdown:
antiram guy is really upset because I'm fat
He tells me my laptop is overpriced
I tell him he's probably some fag that's sad he has little ram
Eh posts back >making accusations without knowing shit
I didn't comment on the irony of this (with regards to my laptop not being overpriced at all)
One guy says he has 16 GiB but sometimes his computer tells him he's out but he's also antiram LOL
Guy posts a task manager showing his 16 GiB with 3.2 GB used and 3.3 GB total cached
Obviously he doesn't use his computer for much so I call him a Facebooker
Note: the connotaions of this are that he's an idiot that really doesn't even need a computer
His response is just that being a Facebooker is actually a good thing.
I claim victory with a final post.

3: vs an irrational non-thinker
May 16 2016
breakdown:
I post in a thread where the OP asks for best desktop environment and an image of the environment
I post saying that unless you're freetarded, I couldn't think of any reason you'd not just want to use
Windows. A hater replies that I can't think in general so he's not surprised.
He then samefags and says SAVAGE
I let him know that I didn't get told at all, and in fact I'm clearly able to think since I can post...
Too late, he says. I've already been burned.
>By a moron who doesn't think about what he's posting?
Filed under victory, victory claimed in thread. No image posted

4: vs guy that thought old paint had cool features
June 17 2016
breakdown:
Guy makes thread asking what the hell Microsoft did to paint
He claims there were more features like transparency (as in semitransparency) and free rotation
Another guy hates how OP uses the return key twice at the end of each line, claims it's reddit tier
I tell OP that these features never existed
He claims to remember it from his childhood
I set out to prove him wrong
I install Windows 98 SE on VMWare on STRONGRIG
From BEDRIG's VMWare client on boot up the Windows 98 install
I use ShareX to record a webm of the only transparency available (based on second color chosen)
I also post the rotation options (locked to 90 degree intervals)
The guy admits defeat
I claim victory with I'm always right image

5: vs guy that thinks Windows' DE cannot make CON files
July 23 2016 - SPECIAL NOTE: using tripcode in this thread, which makes arguments even easier
breakdown:
Thread: 55707773 on /g/
Thread asks what favorite DE is
I post that Windows is really the best now.
Guy replies back that my DE cannot make certain folders (he's implying CON, COM1, COM2, etc)
I reply that his can't make folders named / (assuming he's an uppity Lintard, proven to be right later in thread)
He says that he already has a folder named /
I respond by saying that doesn't matter, he can't make one using his DE
In this post I also show myself making a folder named con
He mentions it needs to be CON, so I do that as well
Then he tells me to post a webm of explorer doing it
A pedantic argument ensues - he never claimed explorer had to do it, but my DE
The worthless argument is about what is actually your DE
Either way, in the end he is all butthurt and claims victory.
I added a context item to explorer's right click menu that makes CON folder and show a webm of it working
He, knowing he's met his match, says he's added me to his filter
I reply one last time to claim final victory.

Openbox offers nothing over Fluxbox.

anything haskell is bloated. Haskell compiler itself is bloated.

Why use uBlock origin if Opera comes with builtin Adblock already?

>>55726312
That's true, I made my own GNU/Linux distribution and wanted to use xmonad as the window manager. I needed to the whole OS to be under 1 GB because I only had a 1 GB flash drive (was poorfag at the time and my laptop's hard drive was dying) and ghc took over 400 MB. Still managed to fit it all but shit's huge.

i3wm all day babies. openbox as a backup if normie friends come over.

>>55726330
Opera didn't have adblock when I installed it.

Might try its native blocker sometime but I'm not much on tinkering any more so when something works I just leave it alone until I need to change.

>>55726363
Some pretty normie music tastes you have there.

Openbox.

>>55707773
Xfce and Gnome 3.
KDE is bloat as fuck and never works when your Nvidia drivers are too busy sucking dicks to work and Mate is too dependent on old code for my taste.

>tfw people claim XFCE is light when they haven't even tried Openbox or LXDE

Holy crap, that doesn't look half bad, actually. The dock is a bit big, but I can honestly say that looks a lot more polished than Windows 10. The font rendering is exquisite as well.

You are using gnome as DE

That's not a DE fuck dick

I FUCKING love XFCE, I've used it for 5 years now. It's good. But unfortunately it's getting a bit more bloated these days. I'm feeling the strain on my computer more and more in the past couple of years. BUT XFCE IS STILL the best compared to all the other options especially GNOME 3 which is SHIT
