So What's Your Favorite Desktop Environment.....? :3

[blackneos940]

Well, what is it.....? :3 Mine would HAVE to be KDE..... :3 Them Wobbly Windows....... :3 But alas, my ASUS x205ta, which now runs Lubuntu after some time and effort, (mostly on the behalf of the AWESOME HarryHarryHarry over at the Ubuntu Forums, who compiled a custom Kernel for it) has trouble with the Wobbly Windows..... Ah well..... :3 Back to studying Qt!!..... :3 ^^

I used to really like Gnome2 (back in the day), Openbox, KDE/Plasma, XFCE and Enlightenment. But in recent years, I've mostly been using dwm - a lightweight, minimalist, tiling window manager.

And after many years of full-time dwm usage - I've discovered that I'm not a fan of the typical/traditional desktop paradigm any more.

I don't know exactly what it is, but I just prefer the way that dwm and other tiling wm's handle things (xmonad, i3, wmii, awesome etc). After all these years using dwm - attempting to use a traditional desktop just feels clumsy and weird!

So my favourite DE isn't actually a DE at all, it's a WM - dwm!

I just installed the latest Ubuntu LTS, 18.04, with it's Gnome 3 Shell, and I've tried Gnome 3 a number of times before with Debian and Fedora... but I just can't seem to be satisfied with it myself. I've never been able to stay with KDE for very long either. The old Gnome 2 is now represented by the MATE desktop, and I guess that is my favorite, although I like LXDE quite well also. I do still prefer the traditional desktops, at least for now.

MATE. MATE is pronounced like "latte". Full name yerba mate, it is a South American beverage that even the Pope enjoys

I like its File Manager, caja, its Terminal mate-terminal I usually put on in place of Distros' shipped alternative.

The terminal has in its preferences more options that suit me, including a title command option which straight away tells me where I am on my 35 Distros, eg

Cheers all

I know what you mean..... :3 I just installed Awesome, and it looks promising, to say the least..... :3 I still love DEs, but I've got a place in my Heart for other interfaces too..... :3 Hey, speaking of us liking unconventional UIs, you should check out this guy on YouTube who made a Desktop Environment that looks ENTIRELY like a Terminal!.....
