I don't use a complete enviroment, for me the basics are Openbox + LXPanel + PCManFM

>>60924161
Cinnamon. Best balance between Aesthetics, Functionality and Performance IMO.

Gnome 3.

I never understood the hate it got. It was the most stable and usable DE I ever tried. I never had to google how to do something basic in it. It looks pretty tidy.

it's probably because you can't rice it.

>>60924320
Same. I kinda feel bad Ubuntu will switch to GNOME by default.

The one you make yourself.
Using out-of-the-box desktop environment on GNU/Linux makes no sense because Currysoft Windows and macOS does it better.

Value of a system like this for an enthusiast comes directly from it's customizability and tailoring to user-specific needs. You're literally wasting it's potential by not doing what you can do

Unless you're talking about equipping a bunch of office computers to use GNU/Linux.
Then probably whatever KDE version is considered the most stable if you have the resources to run it at-not-slug-pace. Gnome3 is too unorthodox for normies to wrap their heads around.

>>60924450

I get the feeling they will may slap Gnome into shape and make it look like Unity, which is fine by me.

For starters, GTK3 file dialog is atrocious and was designed for humanoids

I support GNOME 3 but i agree with haters, it's nearly unusable out of the box.
Also retarded filepicker (surprised no one patched it still) and scrollwheel not working when dropdown menu howered.
>>
>>60924583
I consider it more like "build your own DE" framework for distro mainteiners. So sad only Shuttlewort understood the GNOME's real purpose.
Tho.

>>60924426
I'm completely new to Linux, trying to escape Windows. Can you give me some resources to help me learn what the hell you even mean by "I don't use a complete environment?" or at least some keywords to point my google search in the right direction?

I'm not going to get into something that sounds as above my paygrade as that, but I'd like to learn more about it.
