Linux users, what's your DE? http://www.strawpoll.me/12722480

>>59837845
I voted xfce, and it categorized it as others. lol.

>>59837845
Xfce is amazingly versatile. You can make it a gray and teal AESTHETIC machine, or a minimalist arch anime weebshit loli screenfetch thing.

I just spun around Gnome 3 the other day in a VM, it's honestly not that bad, pretty similar to Unity (which is obv built off Gnome 3). I think it will be easy transition for u guys but that top bar in Gnome 3... idk wtf they were thinking

everything built off Gnome 3 is better than it. Budgie, Cinnamon, Unity etc

I do not like Gnome3.
I have tried it a number of times, but have never come to like it.

DEs is for brainlets

>>59838179
i don't blame you. i am sure that Ubuntu will come bundled with a tweaked version of it, because as it is rn by default, it's a huge downgrade from Unity

I'm not a fan either, I just said it's not THAT bad. it's not like... KDE bad

Xfce, but I think LXDE might be more lightweight and more customizable.
I didn't have time to check.
Can anyone confirm?

I just installed it Yesterday while trying OpenSUSE and it's great! It looks nice, KDE Connect is finally something i havent seen anywhere else before, and it doesnt get in zur way of my Work Flow.

I only really have 2 Complaints:
1.You can't recursevly add your Wallpaper Folder
2.Some Buttons are dictated by the Desktop Theme

/g/ is an echo chamber where many people hate things for being popular, plus we are being raiding right now by GNOME shills so it is to be expected.

In other words this poll is as accurate as Trump's promise to not get involved in Syria.

KDE

KDE because:
1. it looks good
2. To make full customization I don't have to install a fuckloads of addons ( hi gnome ) or google magical ways. I just go into the settings.

>>59839706
This is shameful.

Openbox and a tint2 panel have served me well enough.

that's true of every DE except ones that have a dock or panel that cannot be removed. Xfce isn't special in that regard.

To open new window at the right of my screen and not at the right of current window.

Not really. It's just openbox with a gay ass bar and some shit. It'd be better to just use openbox an add what you want.

i3

>>59845208
it literally says ubuntu in the screenfetch.
But that's basically debian, so you're kinda right.

If you really need PS and Illustrator then there is no great option for that

I feel like games is no longer an argument. it has a huge library of great games.
Sure it has less than windows, but so does xbox or ps4 or switch.
Its just like it's own console. I never heard a ps4 user complain he can't play halo...

this is a good point
i suppose it's just that the same hardware *can* run windows and the game in question, making it easier to 'blame' linux compared to your example

ANYONE

yea im reinstalling wit ARCH
What is the most used DE on this distro?
pretty much looking for the most supported

>>59847189
Just install Lumina, anon.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lumina-desktop/

>>59847189
i don't think there is any one DE that gets more attention than the rest
i suppose you could find out what some of the main devs use, since they could be acted upon quickly

>>59847189
Seems to be XFCE

>>59847357
hows the ease of use? Say I wanted to rice...
>>59847364
Did not think bou that man, kudos

I just want a basic ass rice ya know: Dock, with workspace switcher. Time to look through guides
and examples sigh

>>59847514
>I just want a basic ass rice ya know: Dock, with workspace switcher.
if that's really all you want, then just a WM + a dock might do
i personally just use openbox and tint2, tint2 isn't very dock-like, but there are other options (i'd give an example, but i don't like docks much)

>>59847514
Basically every environment is the same for ricing you retard. Remove the panel/dock and do whatever the fuck you want. The only real exception is Unity which doesn't let you remove the dock.

>>59847556
im set on XFCE methinks. I @wiki.installgentoo.com it looks like the choice of WM is key in look and feel... jus too much to choose from man...

>>59845799
Yes, but there's no better DE that let's you configure Qt style, including color themes.

>>59847614
you don't have to decide, just install all that look interesting.
I currently have xfce, gnome and i3

>>59837845
No 9wm, trash.

>>59837845
Xfce is the one anyone on /g/ ought to be using.

>>59847614
>jus too much to choose from man...
yea, making your initial judgements and settling on stuff is a pain
just remember it's all optional, you can just pick whatever looks alright and play with other things later on
you can have multiple DE's installed at a time, just like other software
trying new DE's is quite painless

ye the DEs all perform same, but stacking, tiling, and dynamic WMs all have different feels I just don't know which of three is most practical you know?
What would you G's suggest
A Dynamic WM rite?

>>59847636
>>59847674

Wow had no idea Good Info.

>>59847702
it should become apparent if tiling is what you want pretty quickly if you actually try using it for normal tasks

Currently trying CDE desu

>>59847855
think ill follow other anons advice and install and try multiple WMs

>>59847977
if you're referring to >>59847674
that was me as well

oh forsure dude. idk i kinda want a hybrid between stack and tile. Currently rocking dual 25" & 36" monitors so some window applications just stay in same place for most part because i have the real estate space to not have to move 'em

What DE is best for ADHD people that like to abuse quick launch icons, show as much information on the screen at the same time as possible with tiny icons and tiny text, and use keyboard shortcuts to do things quickly?

I basically hate "modern" and "clean" UIs like GNOME that try to encapsulate everything behind menus. I want everything out in the open and immediately accessible. I want as many buttons as a space shuttle cockpit. Preferably a lot of common tasks should be accomplished through keyboard shortcuts because it's faster than a mouse, and not annoying shortcuts that require me to take my 2nd hand off my mouse.

>>59850782
Xfce or KDE for sure. First is a bit retro OOTB, and the latter is a bit modern OOTB. You'll have a great time indulging your scattered brain with either.

>>59837845
