Fuck you
Because it's a buggy, bloated piece of caca?
I am using Cinnamon actually. It's especially good on hi-dpi screens.
>>57040715
"DE" is a common acronym for "desktop environment" and Cinnamon is one of them. Your first day on /g/?
Because it's GNOME3 with a different look.
>>57040674
what network applet is that (red/blue arrows) in the task bar? I like it
BTW, Cinnamon is fucking GOAT. Also, try out Arc theme.
>>57040767
>I know that.
Fuck you
>>57040674
Because budgie is better.
>>57040674
because i use MATE
>>57041237
>>57041253
These.
Hell, I'd say E17 is preferable to cinnamon after my last attempt at using it as my DE.
>>57040674
Can confirm cinnamon is fucking great
just dont know why mint had to make all the icons puke green.
also the dark theme doesnt always work... you know what i am talking about
>>57041269
>Doesn't even use a traditional DE
>thinks his opinion counts
>>57040674
Because it doesn't align icons to a grid.
>>57040674
but I do. it's not great but far better than normal gnome3
because kde is all of those things but also good.
Honestly as long as you're not using Gnome Shell it doesn't matter. Personally I like MATE or KDE.
>>57040674
Because I use superior MATE instead.
It's pretty buggy and the applets work like shit.
>>57040674
but i do
>>57040788
>>57040674
Bump for applet name
>>57040674
>Why aren't you using the superior Cinnamon DE?
I do
>>57040674
Because there's no Ubuntu Cinnamon and Mint fucking sucks.
Cinnamon with numix
>>57040674
Because it looks and behaves like XFCE while pulling ten times as many resources.
>>57040674
Does it work with Wayland?
Posting from the best DE while eating Zaxby's 10 piece boneless wings.
>not using WM
fuck you
>>57047754
Does cinnamon not have a window manager?
lolwut!
>>57047773
>using a DE alongside a WM
are you happy now faggot?
>>57047792
but even "minimulllllll wm userz" use a DE because they use various utilities to manage settings, networking options, and themes alongside a window manager
>>57040674
>Why aren't you using the superior Cinnamon DE?
>superior
>>57047816
like what..
>>57048098
most use things like
lxappearance
some file manager
wicd or networkmanager
all the same shit a de provides
>>57040780
This. It offers virtually nothing over Gnome.
>>57047513
>not KDE Neon
>>57048199
Never heard of it, must be some nerd shit.
>>57040674
>Why aren't you using the superior Cinnamon DE?
Because it's shit
>>fast
No.
>>stable
Bullshit.
>>many settings
That's not always a good thing. Especially when the settings aren't at the system level, like power management, so they're superseded by system settings.
>>many useful extensions
It's already feature bloated in the first place with useless shit. That should tell the devs that they went in the wrong direction; having so many features yet missing the shit people actually want it to do.
>>no time to waste with ricing
Except the default cinnamon themes are fuckugly and ricing would be the FIRST thing I'd do if I had to use that dumpster fire of a DE.
>>good looking with nice stock designs
SEE ABOVE
>>corporate design, doesn't look duct-taped
Corporate design isn't a good thing. Apple and Microsoft are consistent about one thing in their designs: being inconsistent. Since they set the bar in corporate design... Yeah. Dumpster. Fire.
>Also show your Cinnamon desktops!
Nope. Couldn't pay me to use a bloaty DE
>>57048320
wtf i hate cinnamon now
>>57047591
how do you get the image in the terminal i know you are using neofetch where in the config file do you enable that
>desktop environment
For what purpose?
>Why aren't you using the superior Cinnamon DE?
>implying
>>57048117
>>>57048098
>most use things like
>lxappearance
Edit .gtkrc-2.0 by hand
>some file manager
Use ranger, mc, etc that run outside of a windowing system
>wicd or networkmanager
Shell scripts that invoke wpa_supplicant and dhcp daemon.
>all the same shit a de provides
For the most part, /g/ runs arch or gentoo, and most of *those* users are fond of command line utilities that perform all of the listed tasks because they can be done remotely without tunneling a windowing system.
So no. WM != DE
>>57048471
>not using a transparent panel
>>57048409
Use neofetch --help, breh. It'll tell you.
>>57048409
You need w3m and add the location etc in config
>>57048501
none of you rice niggers do any of that
>>57040674
Why would I use a budget version of Plasma when I can just use Plasma?
>>57048653
Except that's exactly what I do, fucktard.
Also, if you want to argue semantics, a window manager isn't a desktop environment without the presence of the desktop shell. The environment isn't just the software suite, but also the desktop shell. Without gnome-shell, for instance, the mutter WM is pretty much useless. Without Plasma, kwin is useless, etc.
>>57040734
enjoy i3 on your shitty toaster
>>57048450
This is bait but I'll bite
To be a better and much more productive person on the computer
I'm using just OpenBox and it's all good.
>>57040780
It's actually quite a bit more usable than gnome3. You can actually have different instances of your browser running in different desktops. Try that with gnome3. It's pretty funny. Openbox even handles desktops better.
>>57040674
Looks like shit on Trisquel
>>57040674
>superior
Nah, too much clicking around to get to things, and it's slow.
XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 2 are the only decent GUIs for Linux.
>>57049498
>GNOME 2
Surely you mean MATE.
>>57047513
how do you get the bar so tiny
>>57049602
No, MATE isn't as good. GNOME 2 is what you run on older systems that haven't been updated. Use XFCE or KDE for anything new.
>>57049779
.... MATE is a continuation of gnome 2. It's gnome 2 with bugs fixed and updated for stability with more recent applications.
>>57040767
>Your first day on /g/?
I'm asking you the same question...
>what are WM
git out my /g/ u summerfag leftover
xmonad4life
Because XFCE exists
>>57047591
I just got my arch box reinstalled again.
How do I set it up like that? Fonts, theme?
>>57052074
Fucking retarded liar. All of that info is in the screenfetch. Stop posting here.
Because mate is better.
