I just installed debian 8 and I am going to get a desktop environment. What are the best desktop environments in your opinion?
The one that I use
the framebuffer
i3 wm
guhnome

XFCE is nice
But only if you can take the bullying from your colleagues for using a DE that doesn't provide
>user management
>service/daemon management
>firewall management
>file sharing management
>time zone/internet time/clock and date settings
>etc
>>57922666
i3-gaps
awesomewm
>>57922666
xfce is pretty good
>>57922726
/thread
I use XFCE and it's pretty good
>debian
>desktop
nigger what
>>57922666
openbox + tint2 + conky and copy bunsenlabs configs
Ran LXDE for a bit, XFCE for a long time, never really liked KDE until 4.7 came out.
Google DE's, try out the ones that look good to you and decide, the biggest factor is your preference.
i use Gnome shell because I'm not a faggot like the rest of you.

>i use Gnome
>>57922666
openbox for a bare bones minimal
or
xfce if you want a basic taskbar with clock, menu, & etc...
>>57922666
Just try all of them, satan. I use MATE on my laptop because it's lightweight and isn't incoherent shit like xfce. On desktop I run KDE because muh features
XFCE 4 life nigga
i3wm

Great! Now fix it!
Package repositories:
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-updates
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-security
In console:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
init 6
apt-get install devuan-keyring
apt-get install sysvlinux
apt-get remove systemd

XFCE, needs tweaking to look good though
>WM
i3wm
>>57925853
anyone got window buttons in the panel on xfce working? there's a plugin for it but I couldn't get it to install and looking at the github it has memory leaks. I'm a fiend for screen space
>>57922666
Cinnamon
Unity
When you press alt in a program, you can search through the menu options.
The super key is automatically mapped to the programs on the task bar by number.

It's buggy and not customizable. It does have potential though. Fine if you like the default and don't touch it much I guess.
I liked GNOME, and then I tried Cinnamon and liked it better. It's like GNOME, but more customizable.
>>57925876
wich button everythings' working for me
>>57926099
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-windowck-plugin
but it doesn't work for me. I mean move the window buttons on the title bar, into the panel, next to the applications menu
>>57926180
why would you want that you have 2 windows open
>>57922666
It's for servers just remove it now. Anyone who tells you to install it with XFCE is meming.
I like MATE because it's like classic GNOME. XFCE is also pretty good.
MATE
If you want to try a WM use Window Maker
>>57925876
Nvm I figured it out. Needed to compile with --prefix=/usr.
>>57922666
I like lxde with the arc-dark theme
peasants with their Desktop environments
i3wm, probably the most efficient to use once you get used to it and customize the configuration, also pretty light weight.
>>57922666
GNOME
>>57922666
Cinnamon > Xfce > GNOME
>>57925844
>no Cinnamon
Just fuck off already.
Windows 10. Seriously.
Here's my new custom rig:
i7 6770k 4.0GHz
32GB G.Skill Ripjaw RAM
MSI Z170A M5
MSI GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC
Linux can't handle all this power. Open source drivers for my GPU blow, performance is shit. Screen tearing everywhere. Seriously, WTF.
Go Home Linux, you're drunk.
>>57922666
Quit being a beta faggot and choose your own DE.
