Sorry KDE fags and Gnomefags, the perfect desktop already exists

Looks like gnome 3 but with nothing instead of something.

Looks like gnome 3 but with no high dpi scaling instead of high display scaling.

>>60841476
With the same perspective, LXDE is also. MATE too. Great. You deserve a medal.

>XFCE

You mean Xfaeces.

the reason you know its name is because it crashes so often.

Ha ha poo poo

>>60841476
Agreed

GNOME (3) has a shit paradigm and design and feels like I'm using a tablet with a mouse except even as a tablet it would be a shit UI.

KDE is always buggy as hell and even when all the bugs finally get fixed it somehow still finds a way to be full of bugs.

The only thing better than Xfce is i3 but it has a steep learning curve for people who've never used anything like it before and probably isn't worth it.

you mean dogshit that looks 8 years old?

I've been using XFCE since 2011 and I generally like it, but ever since I updated to the latest stable version of debian I've noticed lots of bugs in Thunar that weren't there before, and it's not as nice in general.

I don't know if that's XFCE's fault or if it's Debian's fault.

Cinnamon is a better GNOME 3.
xfce is a poor man's MATE.

>>Using a gtk DE
Fuck off.

XFCE is pretty ni-

oh shit, the tearing just gave me eye cancer again.

If you are not using i3, you could also just use Windows...

>>60841476
I generally like XFCE, but it's so annoying to get it to look good, especially with icons and gtk2 not being focused on anymore.

>>60842691
Pls come back to /plg/

How come whenever people post Gnome or KDE its always customized to look nice but whenever they post Xfce it's always the default config?

What about thumbnails when choosing files from a web browser? Last I checked, KDE has it, and XFCE does NOT.

>they still haven't fixed the HDMI bug
Turn off an HDMI display, turn it back on, no video output. The only solution is restart lightdm ( or whatever you're using ).

I use XFCE, but this shit is stupid.

Please, name a package other than KMozillaHelper which does it in XFCE then.

>>60841953

>>60842995
This. There is no denying that the current XFCE4 has major screen tearing problems. It's actually fixed now, but the rest of Xfce 4.13 isn't done .. so you'll have to get a git snapshot (and the bugs that go along with doing that) if you don't want the screen tearing.

>>60845431
I for one am very glad that Xfce is still "outdated", specially if Windows 10 and GNOME are what's "modern". No, my computer is NOT a tablet or a phone. It's got a mouse and a keyboard and multiple screens, it's a computer and I want a interface that makes sense on a computer.

>>60841476
blah blah blah, let's talk about the important stuff
is the filepicker patched like on KDE so it shows thumbnails?

>>60845624
Just use the terminal and name your images properly.

Anyone else ever notice that in linux, shit never shows up in the start menu/taskbar where it is supposed to be, if it even shows up there at all?

theres been so many times I have to start shit from cli because it wont show up in the start menu.

blame freedesktop retardation

>>60850046
I dont know much about this stuff, but dont they just make X, and doesnt X just draw shapes?
If anyone is to blame Id say its the program developers/package manager for not putting shit into the same directory every time, the package manager for not maintaining a list of installed programs with their location (inb4 registry), and the desktop environment developers for not querying the contents of either the install_list.txt (when available) and the contents of all install directories.

>>60850115
look up .desktop files and you'll quickly understand what i mean

>>60841942
What say you?

>>60843192
Seconded on needing to know

>>60850126
ok, so it sorta looks like what I was talking about..
so whos the retard that fucks up along the way that prevents stuff from showing up and/or going to the right category?

>>60850210
must be the people who package stuff

but i shouldn't have to edit a fucking file just to change an icon

>>60843192
no, xfce use GTK file picker

Why not mate?

>>60845667
Do you suffer from cognitive dissonance? You can literally see what thumbnails are and you proceeded to post a screenshot of a file picker which doesn't have thumbnails.

>>60851652
How do i fix this shit

>>60852922
I like xfce apart from this though

I love XFCE, besides a bug rendering it unusable.

I cannot describe it very well, but it's like ghosting?

Like, you have your mouse resting, let's say you're watching a video.
You have that random window, that is not at first plane or is in a completely different desktop or has been closed for however long, showing on top of your window, that you're working.
If you move the mouse it updates the screen, but there is a high chance that you'll get nothing but a few short glimpses of the window you want.

Pretty frustrating and stupid

I adore XFCE... I just want them to get with the times. I finally moved to Plasma 5 after a lot of debating it in my head.

They're still nowhere near getting gtk3 support and gtk4 will be out soon. QT and KWin outdo gtk and compton in my opinion.

The golden era of XFCE is dead, but it's still a nice desktop. Just needs to be updated.

At least it isn't MATE.

windowmangers are the new /g/ent choice but id rather use xfce over bloated kde

why would you wan't to use a deinstead of just using a wm?
i'm assuming people that use linux use it because they want to learn how shit works which implies they program
if you are programming on linux they you probably chose it because of the tools/productivity
if this is not the case please just use osx or windows
or continue pretending you're a superuser :^)

It looks like fucking garbage and you end up with 2 top menu bars if you maximize a window.

>>60855041

Xfce and every other desktop environment running under X uses window manager, retard. At the end when you install the utilities with your "just WM" setup, you end up with the same things.
Kill yourself, I repeat, kill yourself.

what did he mean by this

>>60855773
Screen tearing can be fixed by:
1. compositor - this has the advantage of handling compositing and effects like blur, fade, etc.
2. actually configuring your GPU driver holy shit - both Intel and AMD drivers have a TearFree option

>>60855757
How?

>>60856514
Thumbnails are unrelated to DE.
