Ubuntu 23.04 and GNOME.

Discover5164 ,

kde with bismuth for tiling

mojo ,

Gnome, but only with dash-to-panel. Otherwise XFCE.

WinterAir ,

I use Debian with XFCE.Really lightweight and stable

me as well

qyron ,

Back to Debian after a long hiatus and XFCE was my choice for the exact same reasons.

geolaw ,

LXDE

Astaroth ,

I don’t like any DEs, tbh both KDE Plasma and Cinnamon felt worse than Win7 DE. And I’ll never ever even try Gnome

But I absolutely love WMs, I use i3wm

Plasma, but only on Wayland (which is better anyway unbiased opinion).

corship ,

Man i didnt realize how much better Wayland is until I had to use a provided setup for a few weeks.

The fact that I can’t swipe to switch virtual desktops on xorg was enough to drive me insane after a few days.

lemmyvore ,

How are you swiping, out of curiosity? I have windows occupying the whole screen.

I switch workspaces with a keyboard shortcut or by clicking buttons on the panel.

Knusper ,

It’s with three fingers on a touchpad.

There’s some short clips of it here: kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.25.0/

lemmyvore ,

Oh I see. But I thought such gestures were available a long time ago, I remember apps like Fusuma, and there was talk of adding them to libinput so that every DE could let the user assign actions to gestures.

Knusper ,

Yeah, this is now using the libinput gestures. It’s mainly exciting, because it’s available out-of-the-box, even for non-techies and lazy people (me).

With general technological advances and I believe Windows having similar gestures, it’s now also rarely the case that touchpad hardware doesn’t support multi-touch input…

The swiping thing is apparently a deliberate decision by KDE for whatever reason.

Knusper ,

Well, yeah, but they made that decision, because X11 is a pain to implement and debug this stuff on.

backhdlp ,
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That sounds like a pretty good reason yeah

blkpws ,

Yeah, X11 has been not changed for years because it’s so messy that every change they try to do, breaks many things. (or that’s what I read at least)

But screen sharing was not possible for me. Which is kinda a deal breaker. Is that implemented yet?

Cinnamon at the moment because I’m running LMDE 6. After that it would be gnome however it does have a higher RAM usage. I find Gnome based DE’s easier to read and understand.

Whereas KDE just confuses me with its illegible font, awful icons (especially in Libre Office) and the nonsensical horizontal blue lines in some settings.

turbowafflz ,

Keep in mind I am insane and you shouldn’t take this as a recommendation unless you are also weird in the ways I am, but I absolutely love NsCDE, it’s an FVWM based modern clone of the old CDE desktop from old UNIXs and VMS and it is so so well executed and I love it.

SkySyrup ,

I use gnome as a primary, it feels really polished and doesn’t break or crash. Very modern, but if you want to have a super-customized experience, you’re gonna have a bad time. Extensions break every update and so do themes, so you either wait for the dev to port it or so it yourself. Annoying, so I only use vanilla for now.

Maybe I’ll try plasma, looks cool.

KDE

recarsion ,

KDE and Cinnamon.

raubarno ,

I got used to XFCE, but, with my new awesome Tuxedo laptop, I got KDE as a DE for a stock OS, and I could say it feels much more complete. But the performance drops, when opening a terminal, for example.

plasma, xfce and sway/swayfx.

plasma and xfce are DEs, sway is a wlroots-based wayland compositor (tiling window manager).

MrTHXcertified ,

Started with XFCE but migrated away due to bugginess with my outdated system. Next was KDE. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it ended up being after hearing otherwise. Now I’m on Sway, and it makes this old computer scream!
