What's your favorite desktop environment?
>>
I really do like cinnamon that's packaged with mint
>>
>>55804180
xfce cause I'm not a faggot
>>
KDE is nice at the moment.
>>
XFCE. But currently i am using KDE (and it kinda works.)
>>
Can you safely switch DE in Ubuntu in case you want to try another one or will it majorly fuck everything up? When you log in you can choose a session so is it possible to have another DE installed alongside XFCE?
>>
Why would you ever use a WM instead of a DE?
>>
KDE.
>>
LXDE, it's never given me problems and it's fast as fuck
>>
xfce
>>
>>55804404
That theme. Where'd you find it?
>>
>>55804180
MATE.

It's literally GNOME minus retarded.
>>
>>55804443
I've had it backed up in the cloud for ages, no idea where exactly I got it.
>>
>>55804404
That blurry volume icon would really irritate me.
>>
>>55804180
Explorer :^)
>>
>>55804180
KDE
>>55804464
That's called Cinnamon
>>
>>55804490
It does irritate me as well, but I'm not sure if there is a way to fix that. (I have to have both the bottom panel and the icons at 30 pixels for the start button to display correctly)
>>
KDE 5 for desktop workstation
MATE for laptops and lightweight stuff
>>
>>55804509
Cinnamon is too heavy and a bit buggy compared to MATE.

Prolly because it's GNOME3 based.
>>
dwm, fuck you faggots.
>>
>>55804180
zsh

I prefer openbox.

Either KDE or i3.

Using Xfce on my P4 PC currently
>>
>>55805091
I'm a totally noon at wm and UNIX customization. How do you achieve something like this exactly? Out of the box i3 is ugly and I find it kinda intimidating

CDE (and GNOME 2) forever
>>
>>55804180
KDE
>>
>>55805410
So the main thing people do is add an extension to i3 called i3-gaps. Install it and then add a couple lines to the configuration. Gaps will be added to every pane as a separation and titlebars will be removed.

xfce
>>
>>55804180
XFCE because it works and I don't care.
>>
Cinnamon is pretty nice but I stick with Gnome
>>
Mate.

KDE requires systemdick and is still unusably buggy anyway, nevermind the garbage/10 design for everything with the massive gaps and lack of useful information.
XFCE is a meme, might as well go WM-only if you're even considering it.
Cinnamon is a bloated mess with a crap start menu/launcher. Slow as fuck.
Gnome is purely for masochist who believe they should indulge in their fetish 24/7.
Unity is gnome for people just getting into the fetish.
TDE is unusable. Critical bugs out the ass, no plans to move to further versions of qt, fuckall development overall let alone bugfixes.

Mate is the only viable option, period.

>>55808067
>Underpowered device
Massive bloatware that doesn't even allow you to disable the resource-gouging and performance killing features that tear through battery life like a hot knife through a snowflake in hell
>Overpowered device meant for serious work or gay men
Muh animalism, featureless garbage that ensures your workflow is orders of magnitude less efficient than it should be just for rice reasons

Sounds legit

>>
>>55808169
>XFCE
