I could care less what distro you’re using, but if you’re using the wrong desktop environment, I will have a real conniption fit and write a 31-page rant on why your DE is a bloated, rigid mess.
Half of people hate gnome and will bite your head off for mentioning it, the other half loves and uses it with little to no issue. I’m a gnome guy and don’t like KDE (yes I’ve tried it multiple times) but if they fix a few things I could see switching.
I think I’m the weird one who likes different DEs for different use-cases
Gnome is great on a laptop with a track pad. It feels a bit like MacOS with its gestures and how it behaves. I did try also installing hyprland on it to try it out. I like the idea of a tiling WM but getting a setup ‘just right’ sounds like an exercise in patience I don’t have when other solutions exist that are good enough.
On my main desktop that I use a mouse to navigate, KDE all the way.
On the few VMs that I run GUI apps on, I like LXQT (Lubuntu or Debian) for how few resources it uses.
Nice! I’ll bet this helps your neuroplasticity too. I should probably try to do something similar. One reason I’m attached to gnome is that I’ve built up a collection of knowledge and scripts around customizing it. I should probably be less picky regarding these customizations though.
standing uncomfortably close It’s called 𝔓𝔩𝔞𝔰𝔪𝔞 now
What if I do not use a desktop or a wm? The tty is comfy here.
Agreed. Enlightenment or bust!
