  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    since Plasma 6.5 I just daily drive it now. prior to that I was all about WM's be it Herbstluftwm, Sway, Niri, whatever but after awhile I just got tired of configuring them or dealing with quirks about each one and what have you. Plasma just does everything I need and I don't have to think about it. And you can even get it to tile now be it manual or dynamic. Plus you can theme the hell out of it. It just works. Plus Konsole has become my favourite terminal. just don't see a point in using other stuff anymore.

    I really like tiling window managers, but plasma is so much easier to deal with

    I know when I reload it wont be kde.

    I'm happy with Cinnamon. Maybe OpenBox.

    I was really surprised how great the workflow of paperWM is. If you like a "scroller" with a working DE and don't want to configure niri: give it a try. I don't even want tilers anymore.

    Lxqt and i3 4lyfe

    Using a Chromebook you gotta levy usage with processing ability.

    I cut my teeth on openbox and fluxbox, and I hated KDE. But to be fair that was like, KDE3? It didn't look so good.Β 

    Xfce was good for a while, but then plasma was really the best Wayland option, so it made sense. It's good out of the box, ready and quick to customise.

    But after a few years of that I've just last month got going with an Lxqt Wayland session with labwc compositor. This is the winner. No more reliance on plasma for me.

    I've been using KDE for years but right now I think Cosmic is neat

    It's weird watching people bitch or take sides on DE like it's a sporting event. Which is another thing I don't really get.

    me irl, but Sawfish/Enlightenment.

    I like Gnome with Dash To Panel and ArcMenu. But KDE is nice too.

    It's a shame about the licensing issues Qt had back in the day, because otherwise there was no reason GTK (and therefore GNOME) ever needed to exist.
