I will give you credit for higher quality bait.

it's a matter of personal preference

any themed DE can look "cool" but if you need stability go with XFCE

>>62298133
Sad!

Just go with GNOME, it's like an Mac in some ways and is full featured, it's the comfiest out of the box.

>>62298234
>it's the comfiest out of the box.
on which distro?

I always found Unity the easiest to get into as a Windows user

>>62298253
Anything but ubuntu.
Ubuntu wears it rather ugly, now.

>>62298036
Plasma.

>>62298036
My college uses Xubuntu LTS. They themed it's UI a bit so it looks like windows so users don't get confused since a lot of our programming courses are on windows.
Xfce is the best DE imho especially with stability, but doesn't look impressive by default.
GNOME or KDE are probably what you're looking for, but I'd still go with Xfce. KDE Plasma is unstable outside of openSUSE, and GNOME's UI is a bit tablety plus it's a bit heavier. Since KDE is only impressive with it's other bundled software, which I doubt your students will interact with, if you were choosing between those 2 pick GNOME.

>>62298253
For GNOME you should use Fedora. Or Ubuntu, but they've recently switched to GNOME as the main DE and are switching to wayland just now so there could be issues.

Just remember to disable persistence so the OS resets itself on reboot if your students to something crazy with it. Also, have them log in as guests and prevent any admin privileges.

>>62298036
Just install unity you retard.

Seriously, who doesn't love screen tearing?

>>62298697

>>62298036
Use Xmonad OP, it will blow those kids away

>>62298697
It's fixed in less than a minute.

>>62298697
works on my TTY

Anything that doesn't use the rootkit formerly know as X.org.

Don't go for hackershit. When a tiling WM isn't used by an autismo there isn't even anything to show.

If you want to impress them, make a GNOME Classic or KDE setup. Rice it a bit, make sure the fonts are properly rendered (use Ubuntu if possible) and check that the hardware's official GPU drivers are installed. Add some eye candy effects, just enough not to be annoying. They'll quickly notice how much better it is than XboxTabletOS; if they are used to MacOS, consider GNOME Shell instead.

>>62298377
>tfw i use ubuntu GNOME

then again I did rice it quite a bit.

>>62299955
The lack of aliasing on the icons ruin it.

>>62298036
Just set up anime girl wallpapers as default on every machine.
The kids will love it.

>>62298036
I'd say KDE but I'm guessing the Highschool's computers aren't very powerful so just get gnome or something

>>62303093
Aren't they about the same these days?

Idk lol

>>62298036
Don't even bother. As godawful as windows is, linux is unusable in comparison on all fronts except command line, and I find it hard to believe kids are going to want to memorize a shit ton of commands to get on facebook.

>>62298036
Cinnamon, no question.

Pantheon, Elementary OS. Its a mac os clone

Pantheon from elementary OS, it just works

GNOME but don't show them how to use it, just give them some random tasks they have to do using it. Shitty teachers are best teachers.

KDE
