Looking to give Arch a try. Can someone please recommend me a

To add to this, so far something like Cinnamon and MATE looks really good

KDE or Unity

Cinnamon or KDE.

KDE 5.8 finally solved the Libreoffice theme issue

If you're brave, I'm enjoying i3
If you're new to linux and want an easy transition, cinnamon > xfce > kde

If you're coming from Windows ANY DE is lightweight.
I's start at GNOME, KDE or MATE desu.
LXDE is more lightweight, but still userfriendly

>>56654195
MATE-GTK3.

KDE a shit, GNOME a shit, don't trust them. I have personal experience that KDE STILL has bugs. And no amount of searching will ever solve them. And for what? Some pretty eye effects and a QT based environment that not a lot of effects exist for?

It is not lightweight in any stretch of the imagination. I believe it's heavier than GNOME. GNOME is a tablet OS now, so I don't really care for it too much.

So, you'll be wanting to go with MATE or Xfce.

I personally recommend MATE, and arch has the mate-gtk3 builds in the repo. Been using it for a while and have no problems. Only a few things don't work (you can't change system colors from the appearance menu still, but gnome tweak tool werks). MATE was always kind of "meh" looking, but equivalent to Xfce in the sense that themes fix it. Now, I legitimately can't imagine using anything else, and I used to be a huge xfce fag. Everything looks great. It's rock stable. It's simple and easy to configure. I personally use mine with compiz on my desktop. Maximum comfy with mate-menu.

Otherwise, either go with the stable MATE build or Xfce. Both are good shit on arch.

Anything wrong with Cinnamon? Thanks

>Anything wrong with Cinnamon?

Is "I don't like it" a reason?

I haven't seen a lot of images that make Cinnamon look good. I've used it briefly, and I just didn't care for it myself but that was a LONG time ago. (And a lot of that frustration could have come from Mint). It's worth giving a shot anyways if it tickles your fancy. No idea how well it runs on arch though.

Sure that's a good reason

lightweight
>xfce

similar to windows
>cinnamon

Take your pick. Personally, I go with xfce since it won't be completely different from windows, but is also lightweight.
