If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

[easily3667@lemmus.org]

Gnome user: accepts defaults and never having the ability to change a setting

Gnome user: "consistency is great when you don't have opinions of your own!"

[poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org]

Also an old fart, also love XFCE

[steeznson@lemmy.world]

XFCE would be my choice too

[Guest]

I'm a cog in the machine and use KDE, but xfce is awesome, I would use xfce if I couldn't use KDE.

At some point, probably after Fedora stops supporting x11, openSUSE plans to follow suit, and it will no longer be available in the repos. There's no firm date for when this will occur, though. I read about it on the official forum.

life is pain

[xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml]

I mean u can try lol might be a bit heavy tho

Gnome has the apple philosophy that the user conforms to technology, not the other way around.

[hipstertenzero@dormi.zone]

I've only tried KDE and i'm pretty happy with it. I dunno why I'd want a creepy foot gnome on my computer, and I don't really know of any others by name yet so.... I'mma pick KDE

[univers3man@lemmy.world]

Oh yes. Much better since the KDE4 branch / debacle.

[mangopenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Probably KDE, it's the most 'complete' feeling to me with settings and GUI for most things.

[Guest]

I've been using Mate ever since Gnome-2 transitioned to Gnome-3 and I didn't like the transition.

[Guest]

Probably Plasma because it's familiar and you're able to customize it extensively over time.

[ohvenus_baby@lemmy.ml]

Had To scroll way too far to find Cinnamon so here's back to the top.

[lovablesidekick@lemmy.world]

I'm happy with Linux Mint so far (2 mos in)

[charlatan@lemm.ee]

Herbstluftwm with dmenu. Just a windows manager. I've gotten used to using the command line for things I used to rely on a DE for.

[milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee]

Hurrah for a fellow rat poison user! (I haven't used it in ages though.)

[milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee]

Cinnamon's been working well for me; I'd choose that, and I don't mind waiting till my laptop breaks to reassess what DE I want!

[njordomir@lemmy.world]

KDE for the desktop and xfce for the laptop

[njordomir@lemmy.world]

No shade to Gnome, because there is a place for them in the ecosystem, but this is why I moved from Gnome 2 to KDE (with a few stops along the way). One size will not fit all.
