Windows is much faster and more stable than XFCE, LXDE, Openbox, or even just i3wm. I don't give a shit about your 300mb less used RAM or your 5% less CPU while idling. Windows much fucking faster and more responsive. There is no combination of compositor+window manager that has no screen tearing, good performance, and is stable. Every compositor is incapable of doing what Windows achieves easily. I either get screen tearing, or I use a GLX backend and get massive slowdown so dragging around Windows is slow as shit because the redraw speed drops, and even with a GLX backend I still get some screen tearing. Right now I use no compositor on Xfce to minimize screen tearing, but I still get window drag lag and all the window manager is dogshit. The only theme that doesn't look/behave utterly retarded has window borders that are small as fuck and impossible to resize the window with the mouse because of it. They make it SO FUCKING COMPLICATED to create Window manager and GTK themes that any time I download theme online other than the default one it's riddled with buggy inconsistencies or shit like menus are unreadable because the person who created it doesn't know the ins and outs of the GTK library because apparently that's what is needed to make a functional fucking theme. PLEASE don't give me the 'freedom to customize' if it's really just the freedom to break all my shit. It isn't only themes that are utterly SHITFUCKED, it's also the plugin system for every DE I've ever used. FUCK this uneeded fucking BULLSHIT that tries to be pluggable and hypermodular but just ends up being so impossible to maintain that it's own developers can't even write cohesive plugins for their own panel let alone anyone who wants to contribute. Windows has it right offering a dumbed down, non-offensive environment with no customization, but it fucking works! Fuck this fucking dogshit! And fuck you fags who don't like Wayland which is the only shot at improving all this broken fucking shit!

Hi Chris!

>>58049505
tl;dr
>>
>>58049592
Windows is much faster and more stable because of the shitty legacy design of and the misled desire for hypermodularity and pluggability in X and DEs. Wayland is the only way Linux will solve screen tearing and performance problems from X, and we need a DE that doesn't try to sell itself as hypermodular, fast AND stable because most DEs haven't accomplished any of those 3 NO DE right now has accomplished all of them.

>>58049807
It's broken because no matter what DE/Compositor/PC I use, I either get:
-screen tearing/graphical glitches
-slow as fuck
-unstable

or a combination of the 3. Xfce in particular is broken because the window manager is utter shite with no good themes, the panel plugin system tries to be modular and customizable but in doing this they make it much more difficult to write working plugins. For example the clock and the application menu plugin are broken out of box because their hypermodular customizability bullshit bit the devs in the ass because now it's just hard to write the simplest of fucking features.

Right click properties applications menu then click close right away without touching anything. The text "Applications Menu" will disappear if you have that setting enabled. It's just bugged out glitched fucking shit. That's just one bug I have lists of many more for Xfce and other DE's that I don't report because there's no fucking use. DE's try to be so much more modular and customizable than windows by having complex plugin systems of interconnected libraries, but in the end make it difficult to write something as trivial as a fucking app menu.

>>
>>58049856
How could you make a post this dumb? It's literally meaningless. Speed/responsiveness and RAM/CPU usage are two completely unconnected things. I can make XFCE as responsive as windows if I turn off the compositor, but then I get graphical glitches and can't use any effects and certain apps. The compositor is broken as fuck and causes more graphical glitches than it fixes unless I turn on the GLX backend, which causes FPS drops. Less responsive than windows.

>>
>>58051060
I use Linux all day every day. Windows doesn't have screen tearing like Linux does. If you want no screen tearing and other graphical glitches it's less responsive then Windows because of the settings you have to use. If you don't care about screen tearing and other glitches then yeah, Linux is more responsive. Not really a fair comparison though.

Only thing I agree with on this post is Wayland is king, using it right now and I encourage you to do so as well, using it with based professional KDE desktop, XFCE just werkz BUT because it's on X11 it causes screen tearing and shit is slow and barely decorates within a second like wayland does. The problem is XFCE garbafe devs refuse to use Wayland and plan on sticking with X like the retards they are. XFCE if you are poor, KDE with wayland if you are a rich capitalist

You should submit some patches for compton compiz or xcompmgr then, they could really use it if you're so massively intelligent and can solve screen tearing on everyone's machine just by le tweaking the settings. You're obviously brain damaged if you think it's that easy. X is fundamentally broken and the problem of screen tearing is decades old. It works great on Wayland.

>>58053561
It's actually really funny because all you lincucks act like Xfce is some kind of holy grail when in reality it's just less shit than the competition and even pajeet writes more stable spaghetti code at windows HQ. I have never ONCE had ANY bug or problem with the windows panel or window manager. I have never heard of ANYONE claiming that there are bugs or glitches in the window manager and panel. Why? Because it's very simple. They don't offer 6 million customization options. So yes, windows is MASSIVELY more stable than Xfce in the sense of window management, the panel, and the DE in general. It's also faster and more responsive because Windows doesn't use a broken display protocol.

Oh wait, I don't even have intel graphics so that's not even an option.

Honestly. It's actually amazing how delusional Linux users are. Windows has better graphics performance and is more stable. No I'm not talking about the stability of the tiny Linux kernel vs the entire windows monolithic system, I'm talking about Desktop Environments, the display server, and graphics performance for things like video playback and 3d.

It's SO FUCKING FUNNY that no one in this thread can comprehend that the Windows DE is literally much more stable than Xfce, Gnome, Mate, LXDE, or even a minimal window manager like i3 that only has to render square boxes and change windows. Many Linux DE's have accomplished impressive feats and are nicely bundled, but Windows is still much more stable than all of them. On every single DE out there are many bugs and glitches with the panel or window managers. They try to figure out how to have 60 interconnected plugins working on the desktop seamlessly rather while they still can't even do something as basic as render windows properly that look decent. Face it, the Windows 10 panel and window manager is MUCH more stable than anything any DE has ever accomplished. No it does not have more features and customizability, but it's MUCH more stable.

I've never ONCE had a bug/glitch with the Windows xp/vista/7/8/10 panel or window manager, nor have I ever heard anyone claiming they did. Anyone in this thread ever run into a bug with the Windows window manager or panel? No? Anyone ever used a Linux DE and run into a bug? Oh? Everyone and their fucking mother whose ever used Linux? Gotcha.

alright kiddos who think you can fix everything by tweaking your settings, why don't you go tell the Xorg devs that and submit some patches to double the linux market share because it will actually work? why don't you ask the Wayland devs why they're migrating over to that, why not just patch up Xorg? X is fucking FUNDAMENTALLY BROKEN and UNFIXABLE. there's a reason why those settings aren't enabled by default, and there's a reason why there is an effort to migrate to Wayland.

Not the only reason why i use linux but it's nice to have an efficient OS.

>There is no combination of compositor+window manager that has no screen tearing, good performance, and is stable.
Most compositors i have tried complies with having good performance and being stable. The screen tearing is the biggest problem but all drivers i have used has an option to have tear-free compositing.

>I either get screen tearing, or I use a GLX backend and get massive slowdown so dragging around
>Windows is slow as shit because the redraw speed drops, and even with a GLX backend I still get some screen tearing.
X cannot do vsync by itself but i have never had slowdowns with composited environments. Just sayin'.

>Right now I use no compositor on Xfce to minimize screen tearing, but I still get window drag lag and all the window manager is dogshit.
xfwm has the worst compositor i have tried on linux, however installing compton is easy and solves the proble,

This is just an opinion and depends enterily on the windows manager tho.

>They make it SO FUCKING COMPLICATED to create Window manager and GTK themes that any time I download theme online other than the default one it's riddled with buggy inconsistencies or shit like menus are unreadable because the person who created it doesn't know the ins and outs of the GTK library because apparently that's what is needed to make a functional fucking theme.
Most themes i have tried works fine, just checks if the theme is compatible with the version of GTK your OS is shipping and you will be fine.

>PLEASE don't give me the 'freedom to customize' if it's really just the freedom to break all my shit.
Having customization is a good thing and i haven't broken something trying to customize things like themes, sorry if my experience has been different.

>It isn't only themes that are utterly SHITFUCKED, it's also the plugin system for every DE I've ever used.
>FUCK this uneeded fucking BULLSHIT that tries to be pluggable and hypermodular but just ends up being so impossible to maintain that it's own developers can't even write cohesive plugins for their own panel let alone anyone who wants to contribute.
Why? you're not obligated to customize anything, on windows for example you don't have the option, just use the defaults if you feel like that.

>Windows has it right offering a dumbed down, non-offensive environment with no customization, but it fucking works!
I disagree, as i said just use the defaults if you feel like that. If you prefer windows just use it.

>Fuck this fucking dogshit! And fuck you fags who don't like Wayland which is the only shot at improving all this broken fucking shit!
No need to be so altered.

it works for me, dunno what you're whining about lol

>submit a patch
You don't need a patch just install gnome and you won't have screen tearing. Alternatively, compiz also doesn't have screen tearing

If for some reason your computer is retarded and it does, then enforce vsync in the Intel driver settings. Boom. No tearing.

>Most themes i have tried works fine
Most of them do work fine for simple stuff, however if you use them over a wide variety of applications, or use a dark theme, I have ALWAYS ran into graphical bugs. Themes made by developers like Adwaita or Clearlooks are the closest I've found to perfect. Not a super big issue but it's an annoyance.

>however installing compton is easy and solves the problem
Screen tearing and glitching is a big problem. Just because it works your hardware doesn't mean a lot of people (like me) don't run into problems. Compton and xcompmgr do work better on my hardware, but I still get minor graphical bugs like tearing when scrolling. If I up the settings to use the more taxing GLX backend it works but I get noticeable slowdown. For the settings I (and many others) need to not have screen tearing, Windows is literally faster and more responsive in that aspect.

>This is just an opinion and depends enterily on the windows manager tho.
It really isn't when there is no theme that isn't rainbow colored gay shit that doesn't have glitched window borders. Pic related is greybird, the closest window theme to not fucking ugly on xfce, with broken ass window borders. 1px resize area. Gnome 3's layout is shit with the massive title bar right next to it and I'm not even going to try to change the theme from default because everything just breaks down. Bugs happen like space between the title bar/window and transparency problems because of improper window manager theme CSD transparency support.

they all do.

You're literally just a stubborn retard. You can't tell me that every laptop tears all the time on X just because you can't figure out how to make it work on your machine

>cares about resize area
Just hit alt and drag with your right button. resize area is an artifact of Window 3.1.

lol good morning sunshine

People say X in Windows is shitty, Microsoft listen, fix it, people are happy, rinse and repeat. It's basic business, if your product is shit, nobody will use it, so they make it better.

There are people who design the UI, people who develop it, people who develop the kernel, people who develop different applications used by Windows, they write unit tests, they do integration tests, there are then people who test everything from button clicks to different hardware to detect bugs, meetings are held probably daily, it's a huge project that involves many smart people.

I'm working on a project now and we have special people who's only job is to design the user interface to be easy to use and easy on the eyes, even choosing the colors is important to support color blind people.

>>58062897
No because it's annoying. Stop advocating for bugged shit.

>>58062889
Listen man, you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. And stop putting words in my mouth. I didn't say every laptop tears all the time on X, I said MANY user's systems including mine tear a lot on X. There is no way to make it work. I can have tearing but good performance, or I can have good compositing but bad performance. Such is the dilemma of X. There isn't just some setting you can tweak to magically fix everything. Try telling that to the Xorg devs. It's why they're moving to Wayland.

Even if it were 15 pixels it's still going to take longer on average and be less efficient than alt+right drag.

Sorry to rain on your parade OP but wayland is shit

Still better than X
