Cinnamon! Although I want to give KDE another chance to become my default DE.

I like Budgie. It looks nice, lightweight, and doesn’t get in the way. There’s a few missing features but I like that it’s a smaller community project.

KDE and Budgie

Gnome. But I use 3 extensions (dash to dock, desktop icons and appindicators) and the adw-gtk3 theme so GTK3 apps looks the same as GTK4/libadwaita apps.

@governorkeagan Xfce first and then Cinnamon. Xfce is more flexible than Cinnamon, which is solid.

Gnome, which looks so nice, requires too many extensions for my taste. So it is not for me.

I tried Plasma many times. It is a mess with all the options (I don't know if they are going to fix this in the next releases) and whenever I tried it there were always some small annoying little bugs. They are changing the release cycle, so maybe in the future these problems will become more rare.

Switched to GNOME a couple of months ago from KDE. Very much love the function of GNOME, but still prefer the customizability of KDE.

Hyprland. Fast, wayland, tiling, animated. Checks off all the boxes and just works™.

Well for DE its KDE for me but in general DWM

@governorkeagan gnome, comes cause it doesnt look like windows

blkpws ,

But many DE doesn’t look like Windows… the only similar is that there is a bar (if you custumize it like a Windows).

Used to be a big XFCE fan, but I was experiencing icon scaling bug which made all my icons pixelized and hard to read. I solely use KDE now. I used to like Gnome, but it feels like they’re working their hardest to make the DE as bad as possible for power users and make it look like a nasty mobile UI.

Ubuntu’s GNOME.

Commiunism ,

sway on wayland (the only WM that doesn’t crash even though it lacks a lot of features), awesomewm on xorg (fast and very customizable, but has quirks)

Generally Plasma. I really like the look of Libadwaita applications, but the GNOME desktop is very much a “do it our way, or take a hike” - and some of the interactions that I’ve seen in the past between the GNOME group and others… well, lets just say whenever I see drama in the Linux community as of recently its always been either with GNOME or Wayland. That doesn’t necessarily instill a lot of confidence in me using either of those.

governorkeagan OP ,

What’s with all the drama regarding Wayland? I’m seeing it constantly.

russjr08 ,
@russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net avatar

As far as I understand, its the major push for moving forward with Wayland and dropping X11 as fast as possible yet Wayland still doesn’t work for a lot of workflows (say, making use of global hotkeys, or Nvidia users, etc).

lemmyvore ,

Some Wayland fans like to ignore reality, like the fact 80% of Linux users use Nvidia, or that Nvidia offers a free Linux driver for their own reasons and have zero incentive to open source it, or that even if it weren’t for Nvidia we still can’t use Wayland because it’s not ready and doesn’t do everything that X does.

When you ignore reality you tend to get into arguments constantly.

TeryVeneno ,

Gnome, KDE is also nice but the default doesn’t function in a way that makes sense to my brain anymore after using gnome

db2 ,

That I use? Cinnamon, because lazy. That I prefer? Fluxbox, because fast af.
