What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm currently using Cinnamon because I thought it would be better than Xfce. While I do think that Cinnamon looks better, there were some minor things that I preferred with Xfce. I want to try Mate and maybe some of the other DEs if I can find a good distro that has them but I may go back to Xfce the next time I install Linux Mint.
Try Budgie
I can try that, do you know of any distro that has it preinstalled? I don't care too much about what it's based on but I might prefer a distro that's similar to Linux Mint.
I'm not really that sort of user, so I have no idea. I use arch and XFCE but have toyed with Budgie and Cinnamon in the past as potential replacements for xfce, and while I liked them, they didn't... feel right.
Solus was the originator of Budgie, Manjaro used to have a community spin. I'm not sure who's responsible or pushing it these days, but it is similar in that it's a gnome3 based, traditional desktop with hardly any outside dependencies outside of itself.
Ok, I can try Solus. As long as the only meaningful difference is the package manager, I should be able to use it.
Also, I didn't find the Manjaro spin but on Budgie's official website, there is a list of distros that come with Budgie. So, I can try those if, for some reason, can't use Solus.
