MATE
It's deprecated and made in gtk2. But it is fast as fuck and it just works. I don't need fucking Unity

Which one is the least shit if all I need is what Windows 7 offers, on two monitors? I have low standards.

>>56835857

Technology board, Linux is also a piece of shit.

>>56835857
Unity. Not very customisable, certain things need a tweak.
>>56836175
Yes. No. You're just mad that Linux was literally made in a basement and it runs much better than windows which is behind an entire corporation holding 90% desktop market share :^).

>>56836185
>You're just mad that Linux was literally made in a basement
But that's wrong

it was made by many professionals for things like embedded devices and servers

...too bad they can't make a SINGLE good GUI...

GNOME 3.

Lack of customisability.

Am I the only one that finds cinnamon comfy as fuck?
The only thing I wish was different was if you could actually customize the start menu thing.

Make it yourself then.
MATE is great
KDE is great
Gnome is great (on ZorinOS it can even mimic windows UI and looks even better)
Unity is great
Pantheon is great
It's literally a personal preference. That's like me saying "hurr windows UI sucks because the default wallpapers are ugly". Not to mention windows has more bloat and less functions.

>>56835857
KDE Plasma 5.X

It's buggy as shit and freaks out over nothing.

>>56836163
I'm on 5.7.4 now. It's pretty stable and great, but I really would like to interact with the calendar through the clock widget, and see appointments and shit there.

>>56836218
>Am I the only one that finds cinnamon comfy as fuck?
Well seeing as no one else is talking shit about it in this thread, apparently not.

>>56835857
Mate: the only remaining usable DE.

Anything wrong with xfce?

>>56836702

>What's your favorite desktop environment

Nothing

Aqua
It's the little things -- for me it's mostly global menu and docks; customization is overrated

>>56835857
I like Open box the best, i like how it handles application window placement, i wished it had active desktop borders (edge knocking?) like xfce4 has, or gnome2 has, an app called brightside enables that feature, install brightside, run brightside-properties to set your preferences and brightside runs as a daemon.

>>56835857
LXDE

It would be really good if you could turn of antialiasing for the icons so you could have something similar to the vector icons used by IRIX.

>>56836726
>He doesn't understand his software choices enough to understand their limitations

>>56835877
yup, xfce is going south, gnome2 was great, gnome3 sucks, kde2 and kde3 was great, kde4 sucks, at least there is mate desktop and trinity desktop to keep a couple of classic desktops alive,

Awesome WM master race.

That is, my own DE. Stripped of all bloat.

>>56836259
I'm sorry, but Unity sucks. It's like they knew they couldn't possibly make a decent desktop, and so shot for making the shittiest one possible. Unfortunately Gnome exists, and therefore the Unity team even fails at failure.

Join the MATE train. The only feature you lose really is the whisker menu. Mate menu is an okay substitute, not really perfect but I never ran commands from the whisker menu anyways. Gtk3 port is based too. It's pretty much THE de to be on right now. I used xfce for probably four years before switching to mate full time.

Currently using KDE full time on my desktop. It's fine but buggy. Particularly on arch, I just couldn't get it to work properly. Debian was also buggy. I literally switched to Manjaro just to try fucking KDE. It's pretty nice now that I discovered you can get a more functional application menu rather than that slow default one. I have two problems with it though.

1)if you have hide caption title bar plus enabled and your Taskbar is on the top, you can't drag and drop tabs to Firefox. It's weird frankly. I found somebody else opened a bug report on the add on, so I posted how to replicate it and I hope the Dev looks at it.

2) still a bit janky even on Manjaro.

It's pretty good otherwise, I never realized how comfy having thumbnails in a file picker can be.

>>56837216
Eh, I don't care for it.

Been using Arc Dark but that isn't great either, to me at least.

>not using i3

>>56837347
What do you mean by thumbnails in a file picker?

>What's your favorite desktop environment, and what's wrong with it?
Doesn't matter which one. They're all slow as shit compared to Microsofts

I mean just that - proper thumbnail support in the file picker. Firefox also has a QT port so that it uses dolphin natively.

>but GTK has thumbnails too!
True, but you're stuck in list view. It's really not all that useful when you can't resize the icons. It's probably the main reason I wanted to use KDE, even if I've switched to Hydrus Network for managing my images.

Only complaint is how low quality the thumbnails are

>>56837640
Oh, I thought that might be what it was. I wasn't sure if there was more too it than that, or just supporting a feature that Windows has had for years.

It's pretty nice. If you can look past all the rough edges on KDE, then it's an awesome desktop environment and combines a lot of features into one box.

Getting it stable though is a bit of a dice roll, but otherwise I'm pretty content with it.

>>56837640
There's a patch for that. It's in the AUR repos

>>56837706
I'd rather swallow a razorblade than try KDE5 ever again. Buggiest POS ever.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view/

I haven't tried the second one yet so perhaps I'll do that later.

Either way though, there aren't any GTK3 patches as far as I know, and considering that GTK3 is the standard, it is a tad frustrating.

>>56837716
I always feel that way yet I keep coming back. I WANT KDE5 to be good and that's what frustrates me so much.

Linux is for people make their own operating system. If you can't make your own with Linux's open source that's your own fault. Freedom as in freedom isn't free.
