KDE is the only good DE, fag.

Wow actually kill yourself

Gnome if you want something that just works.
KDE if you want features.

>>57522976
Xfce or lxde for lightness then just get i3

With gnome, it just loads and takes 10 seconds and its ready to be used.
Yes it does take up an extra 50MB of ram but that's cause of the extensions that are very helpful. KDE is the worse DE I have ever used

I3

>>57522976
Cinnamon

>>57522976
None of the above. Use a tiling window manager

kde, xfce or openbox + tint2

If you are upgrading to sid, I would say go KDE.

Mate or Xfce for everything else.

Cinnamon, always.

>>57523782
kde is shit because it has to many fucking options. gnome is shit because it doesn't have enough options. it depends on what you want and really good is relative.

I like LXDE, but have to admit that GNOME has much better hardware support.
LXDE doesn't like my WiFi so I use LXDE with some GNOME parts stuck together in a way that works for me.
I loaded them all with GNOME as the main login manager, which can then launch any of them with LXDE as default.
I have found a number of the KDE parts to be nice and useful, but it has that oversimplify setup I find a bit insulting and uses a bit more resources then I care to allocate also not a fan of their naming convention, it's like they are trying to be Apple or something/
Xfce seems to be a lot like LXDE, but for some reason I can't pin down I don't like it as much, likely some underlaying design philosophy part of my mind noticed.
Have not really used MATE or Cinnamon, dispite how much people talk about them.
Load them all if you got the time and space, then figureout which one you like.

>>57523203
>>57523310
>>57523699
yes, that is my plan. At some point I need to take things further and use i3. It is the next logical step after LXDE.

>>57526374
>GNOME has much better hardware support.
Strange. How exactly does that work?

depends. but cinnamon is good

>>57526428
It has something to do with the WiFi manager defaults, they use different programs with different settings. But they supposedly interface with the kenral the same way so there should be no functional difference, as only the kenral and driver should really matter.
BUT their is a functional difference!!!
I literally spent months trying to get my WiFi working, I even abandoned the internal one (Apple product, another story) for a number of USB ones which only kind of worked. Talked with experts and read everything I could find, most of which said that bug was fixed few years ago with kenral patch and an update would fix it. Well Ubunut worked and it got to the point I was considering just using Ubuntu, you know head banging rage as I had moved past such beginners distros.
Anyway so after I had exhausted everything I could think of I got an idea. Rather then trying to find what was broken, I should look for what worked. After a more detail comparison I found that LXDE used Wicd and Ubuntu used NetworkManager, it was literally the only difference I could find. So I installed NetworkManager as the new default in LXDE and boom, working Wifi. Well all my USB Wifi worked, the internal one still only works with Ubuntu, I assume there is some propitiatory driver I can't find as the two common ones don't work. But anyway I got working Wifi with Usb so it is good enough. As to why and how, well even the experts I talked with can't figure it out saying they use the same method but get different results. Obviously code is more complex then people admit, like anyone actually understands bare matel interfaces now in the age of high level languages.

>>57525998
>waaah, too many options confuse my tiny brain!

>>57522976
GNOME you fucking cuckold

>>57522976
xfce
everything else is garbage or xfce wannabe

>>57526722
so what you're saying is you have no idea how to load drivers or write config files

>>57526842
Actually I have very detailed knowledge of that stuff. I tested the drivers and the config files in many ways. And it was not them that made it work in regards to the USB WiFi. It was the change of the network manager program.

I verified this under multiple fresh installs, with the only difference being the that one program adn the supporting files. I crossed check all packages and files sets with multiple binary checksums to insure every freaking 1 and 0 was the same. The only files that failed where the ones I expected as those were the ones I edited myself directly. How one program works when the other fails is something i have not figuredout, but I know it is the program not the driver, not the kernal, not the configs, not the hardware, not the location, not the network or secvie provider, not any other var bile I could think of.

Now in terms of the internal WiFi it is far more complicated as all my research has yielded very little other then a few articles that suggest the model I bought is some end of cycle hybrid Apple passed off under 7.1 when it would more accurately be called 7.1.D as they had done very minor hardware revisions for the last batch they where essentially liquidating. The literature says I just need firmware-b43 and Linux 2.6.38 or later. But it does not work. I know I have installed it correctly as the all load errors vanished at boot. I have even had far more experienced people try to do such a simple task, yet none could. That included a number of Com Sci Graduate students and a few Comp Sci professor and a few people who actually manage Linux severs as their full time job for both government and several fortune 500 companies. When everyone has failed to get it to work I assume it is not just me.

If you think you know the secret that everyone has missed given the months of time invested in this matter by skilled professional all over the globe, then please tell me so I can use my internal Wifi.

>>57527770
Install Gentoo, that will fix your Wi-Fi.

>>57526722
>>57527770
Interesting...

But just as easily solved as systemctl disable netctl && systemctl enable NetworkManager?
I thought LXDE under Ubuntu does use NetworkManager.. could be wrong. Using Deepin nowadays.

>>57523008
This. Cinnamon is MATE with more features.

mate, fags

>>57523694

This. Cinnamon is the best of all DEs

>>57523273
I'm running KDE on an AMD-E350. Get a better computer.

>>57528020
Not helping. If I just wanted it to work and I was willing to change OS I would have just used Ubuntu.

>>57528025
Yes, turn off Wicd, turn on NetworkManager, change a few associated files to match new setup. Done, took less then 10 minutes once I figure it out.

Why, how, and the huge wasted of time still haunts me. But do that and install the driver for the USB Wifi you use and it works. So after all that I call that problem solved.

I don't know, I use Debian LXDE for just about everything. I compared it to default Ubuntu as that was very easy, worked without setup and was what helped me gain control on my computer with Linux years ago.

The more I learn the more I am convinced that some kind of education/license is needed to use a computer. They are far too powerful to not be repected.
Also I fear for people like my past self that didn't even know what CLI was. It like people who drive cars but can't fix a flat, very scarey. But I am getting off topic now ...
