Can't stop it saving/restoring sessions using the gui, need to fiddle with dir permissions. Admittedly this is with the version from debian stable.

dont use a DE, i3-gaps does it for me
>>
I use a variety. My main favorite is i3 + dwm (I think? I set it up so long ago I forget if it actually USES dwm)
>>
Gnome/Gnome shell
>>
Quartz on MacOS.

I wasted my money and now I'm stuck with it.
>>
>>60071172
dwm is the best. WIth a little C you can put any feature you want in it.
>>
xmonad

>>60070909
I am literally downloading opensuse as we speak

>>60070948
/thread

Everything that isn't i3 is actual trash.

openSUSE KDE because it's the only distro where Firefox's file picker has working thumbnail preview.
>>
>>60072107
try cancelling it
>firefox crashes
>>
Unriced i3 because I'm autistic but not a weeb faggot
>>
GNOME, just works.
>>
Cinnamon and Openbox
>>
>>60071569
What bar?
>>
Linux is a kernel
>>
>>60070909
OPenbox and tint2. Easy to make how I like it and haven't been tempted into anything else. Fast.
>>
>>60071019
Session restoring is so annoying.
>>
Gnome, it doesn't just work, it actually works well, has features, is modern and is easy to use.
>>
>>60070909
cinnamon werks for me
>>
Console TDM and i3wm
>>
bspwm #1
>>
dwm
>>
XFCE because I'm fed up with everything else. I might switch to a stand alone wm in the future just because I don't like the idea of having clearly replaceable shit tied to my system. Phonon in KDE, Thunar in XFCE, everything in GNOME, etc.
>>60071019
There's a box you check on log out if you want to save your session
>>
>>60070909
Openbox because I'm fucking pro.
>>
>>60070909
xfce

I'm really only using it for the settings manager and the fact that I already have an easy fix to eliminate all screen tearing via compton, might install openbox soon since I used to love how intuituve it felt when I first started testing out distros with crunchbang
>>
>>60076791
>XFCE because I'm fed up with everything else
This.

Thunar is very replaceable though.
>>
openbox+tint2 or awesome depending on screen size
>>
Arch with KDE Plasma and i3
