Fuck Gnome 3
I’m really thankful MATE Destkop exists
i3wm + xde.
I’m using herbstluftwm and am happiest with it, but spent years on i3, almost a year in bspwm, and a hot minute on sway. All after years of mostly KDE, some Gnome, and a few years (concurrently w/ Linux) on Macs from work.
Any tiling WM over any DE. I’d go back to i3 before choosing either Gnome or KDE. The one exception would be a fully feature-complete NeXTSTEP clone. I’d switch to that in a heartbeat. Not OpenSTEP, not Windowmaker; NS was beautiful, functional, fully integrated in all aspects - like MacOS, but without the dumbed-down idiocracy.
Since you shared so much already, what’s your opinion on Wayland, specifically Hyprland?
KDE on steamdeck, because it came preinstalled
Gnome on work-pc, because it came preinstalled
also gnome on notebook, because the multi-workspace thing works very nice OOTB in gnome
i3, not for any smart reason, just bc it was the first tiling wm that i used, and i dont have a reason to switch
Exactly the same reason i used it, prior to moving to sway with the switch to Wayland
And for the Waylanders like me, we have sway.
Or Hyprland :>
Sometimes i just cant understand why a post gets downvotes… maybe some hate anime?

I’ll be switching to COSMIC DE as soon as it gets into the beta phase.
preparing to make the jump to linux soon. Here for recommendations. I haven’t been happy with windows since XP.
Linux Mint
Fedora KDE. Just be sure to enable 3rd party repos (very easy and quick job, just a google search away).
Gnome on my desktop, LXQt on my laptop.
Both ☝🏻
There’s three in that picture. XFCE is the one in back.
That’s their logo!? I’ve used XFCE for years and never knew…
Thats some major street cred for XFCE:
XFCE - we’re so minimalist you don’t even know we had a logo.
In fairness, I only recognized it because xubuntu (XFCE based Ubuntu) uses the mouse themed logo.
Did not see it 😅
But I don’t like XFCE
Your initial response of “both” was both wholesome and a unifying (no DE pun intended) statement of inclusion and acceptance.
Your followup was exclusionary and dismissive.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. (but I didn’t downvote you for it, I just though this was funny)
some people get easily distracted by a nice pair of big DEs
I like big bloaties…
And I cannot lie
Hyprland
I’m about to go through the Hyprland setup tutorial and I’m pumped af.
Mind the version of the wiki you’re using. It follows git by default, but you’re most likely using 0.38.0.
As a partaker of anime I know that being older isn’t usually an advantage.
Also KDE wins. Fight me.
It is if it’s me
Gnome. I’m a Mac refugee from a decade ago. I’ve been using gnome with dash2dock and dash2panel together to make a sudo Mac os.
Do you mean pseudo?
Lol yeah I’m dumb and tired
“sudo MacOS” sounds like a legit way to describe “gnome+ubuntu”
sway is the way.
This is the Sway
KDE was first.
Cinnamon
Stay in the kitchen where you belong, trash.
/s
i love cinnamon.
