Personally I feel lit looks a little dates. But whatever makes you happy buddy.

>>60843669
then customize it?

>>60843669
Defaults are uggo but it can be made nice

I personally like the Mint defaults

I prefer the Ubuntu Studio defaults

>>60843669
Not sure why anyone complains about this, you can make it look as modern or as old as you want.

>>60843921
That's the same without a dock, a black bar, and a whisker menu

Why do all the gtk DE look like fisher price toys?

>>60844497

XFCE with Openbox

>>60842863

>>60844091

It's XFCE because no one has come around to making a QT replacement for it.

Seriously, GTK is shit tier as they purposely go out of their way to break themes and other features on the basis that those things hurt their "brand recognition" (i.e. GTK users are walking bilboards for GTK).

lxqt?

>>60848399
wait I thought openbox was a DE

I was going to check out Bunsenlab os (because my buddy recommended #! a while back) but I'm liking how light XFCE is, and it's customizable enough. I'm not on my main laptop right now or I'd post a screencap.

Openbox is a wm, you can use it in place of xfwm.

I thought you guys were joking when you said KDE was buggy. My desktop had black flickering, the menu bar crashed god what a mess im switching to xfce

What is wrong with GTK?

>>60843660
DESKTOPS

>>60848844

>gtk is shit because my shitty custom theme hasn't been updated since 2008

Come back when you have actual arguments against the toolkit, idiot.

>>60842863
Unity

Xfce's Always on top feature is the most amazing thing I've seen.
Pretty comfy browsing 4chinz and watching anime at the same time.

>>60843723
I don't know why the open source community doesn't understand that the defaults are like 90% of usability. When I install a wm, I want it to look good and have logically usable interface. Every DE/WM has this wrong except for Gnome (partially) and Pantheon.

XFCE : looks shit by default
LXDE: shit shit look
KDE: shit keybindings by default
i3: yeah I'm gonna have to spend a month editing the i3bar, oh and I have to download a friggin program just to change my wallpaper??
iceWM: seriously, who uses iceWM these days?

>>60852379
This is literally in every DE I've seen

>>60852419
I've used Unity and GNOME and tried LXDE.
Haven't seen this in Unity or GNOME.

Just fucking right click on the window decoration. Gnome, Unity, KDE, LDXE, all of them have it. Some compositors even allow you to set it as partially transparent, just so you see shit under the window.

>>60843669
You can customize it however you want

>>60843921
My nigga

i installed debian with xfce
i'm wondering if i can delete xfce completely and just use a wm?
why do you really need a de?

>>60855701
Well debian dependency management is really shit, so please recheck the packages that will be removed...
You better reinstalling Debian since it may trigger the removal of the core system, or do not remove xfce.

>>60855798
thought something might go to shits so i'm doing a netinstall currently

but still
why do you really need a de? isn't a wm enough?

>>60855885
>why do you really need a de? isn't a wm enough?
