kys

>>55808488
I don't use a Desktop Environment.

>>55808488
How do I find the right set of mind to watch a show as bad as nisekoi and use MATE

>It's a autistic men use linux as anything on other than a headless server episode

I'm on openbox.

Installing windows 10 right now because blizzard fucked me with legion requiring opengl 4.2. Gonna buy a laptop fo rall my non-gaming computing and put parabola on it and maybe libreboot.

>>55808488
What does mate to better than xfce?

>>55808684
A fork of gnome 2 IIRC

>>55808590
>worst girl
You have some shit taste anon but not surprising since you're a shitoge fag

each anime girl is the best girl to someone so please stop bullying and stay on topic

i am using MATE m8.

>>55808488
terrible grammar'd OP isn't really helping the Mate cause. Also your window frames take up about 10% of your development environment so you're an idiot.

woah watch out lads we have someone who does ACTUAL WORK on his computer

>>55808488

In the next 10 years, my man.

>>55808488
What icons pack are you using?

I'm assuming DE configs are saved for when you want to try out another?

>>55808488
+10pts for Marika

>>55808792
Paper :3

>>55808488
I actually haven't tried it. How about you shill it to me ?

I use my laptop both with and without an external monitor in portrait mode. Does it remember this configuration or would I have to set it each time like with Xfce ?
How does it handle virtual desktops/workspaces ? Dynamically like GNOME ?
Does it have tearing problems up the butt ?
What makes it special ?

>>55808985

hope this helps

>>55808936
thanks anon

>>55808990
It doesn't. Carry on.

>>55808496
Because GNOME 3 looks, feels and works better. It's modern and GPU-accelerated.

GNOME 3 is a lot comfier in my opinion

>>55808488
Is that just a riced Ubuntu MATE distro or Ubuntu and then you just installed MATE from the repo and then riced it?

Gnome 2 used to be my go-to-wm for many years. But today, the clone known as Mate feels stagnate and dull.

Gnome 3 is better for me

>>55809218
Ubuntu Mate anon

I use awesome wm

>>55808488
Obsoleted!

>>55809232
Did you do a lot of ricing to get it that way? I know that MATE Ubuntu has a base look with a lot of green and traditional looking Gnome 2.X.

>>55809256
this is really garbo why do you keep posting it everywhere

>>55809434
He wants to convince himself that it's good by seeking acknowledgement on an anonymous Taiwanese sweatshop board.

>>55808488
What icon pack is that senpai?

I use MATE on arch. I switched to it because I was tired of how dead Xfce is. Not that I hate Xfce, but stability-wise MATE wins and looks almost as good.

>>55809412
I think only the icons are different

>>55809171
Waifu2x

>>55808488
what do you call this type of wallpaper? it looks like between minimalistic and normal. I like how clean it looks but still shows enough detail unlike minimalistic.

>>55808488
Because GNOME2 hasn't been good since around the time Vista came out and DEs are for people who like wasting RAM for no reason, maybe?

>>55809783
Looks like both the icons and theme are ARC. It's in the Arch repo.

Because it isn't Windows 2000, 7, or 10. I like having an OS where I spend more time using it than diagnosing problems.

>>55808488
How does one get linux to look decent?

>>55809412
I just changed the theme to Arc, icons to paper and added docky anon

I'm waiting to see if the upcoming update will be shit, if it is, then I'll probably switch to Linux mint with mate as DE

>>55811775
Looks like someone vectored from a show and just put a simple background

does the bottom dock go away when browser opens etc. never really tried mate for more than a minute. the top left icon annoyed me

>>55808590
Reddit is waiting cuck

>>55809204
Honoka is a cutie.

>>55809256
I'm too lazy to configure something like awesome or i3.

>>55808488

>>55808637
>opengl 4.2

Wow, Linux is still getting beaten by Windows? That's sad because OpenGL was originally a Linux thing lol

>>55808764
>lxqt.

Basically xfce but slower, more ram intensive.

Why do you assholes with 16:9 screens have launchers on the bottom?

What do you play on that steam account? Minesweeper?
