WHICH DE IS BEST DE?
>>51272837
What happens if you don't select one?
>>51272837
No DE
>>51272844
Debian DE which is kinda lame imo.
>>51272837
The one already selected is the best maintained, so just press Continue.
>>51272870
You sure?
>>51272844
You get the default, so Gnome 3.16.
>>51272837
they are all pretty shit this year
>>51272878
Yes, check ML for numbers. There was some discussion when XFCE was made default pre-freeze for a short time but clearly those few maintainers could never cope with all the incoming bug reports that this would entail.

Gnome - trash
Xfce - Pretty good, not really maintained though sadly
KDE - good
Cinnamon - eh alright
MATE - good
LXDE - good
As long as you don't go Unity or Gnome you will be fine.

Kek
He wants rice /g/, give him animu gril wallpapers, WM suggestions, good color combos, file managers, icon themes, the world.
>>51272837
Get screenFetch, kid. You're going to spend a lot of time in desktop threads.
>>51272837
I just installed this. I chose MATE.

KDE is the only true love
The only real choice is KDE
Microsoft Windows XP Second Edition Operating System.
gnome
>>51272837
Which one is "Debian desktop environment"?
>>51276334
Then why did they also add an option for Gnome?
>>51276362
If you don't select one you get nothing. You'd be using the terminal.
I always do this to get openbox
Don't install DE, it's for kids. Use only a terminal

IF you go for gnome, don't install it through the installer. Install no DE and later do apt-get install gnome-core.
>>51277793
going against Debian's official documentation without reason is the definition of retarded.
>>51272837
Xfce
Or go for either LXDE or LXQt.
Bloatware is optional
>>51276362
it's a sub-option (see the ...), would be more confusing if there was Gnome missing:
https://wiki.debian.org/tasksel#Desktop_environment
arguably gnome should be pre-selected, but technically that's a different tasksel task than default and the installer just shows those tasksel tasks.
>>51276447
wrong, see docs above
>>51272844
No GUI/ only CLI
>>51272837
The best is already selected there, MATE is probably the best second option there.
>>51273172

Use a tiling wm instead, don't be a nigger.
>>51272837
Why not install all of them? You don't have a tiny-ass 100GB drive, don't you? You're not poor, are you?
Seriously though, I personally like mixing and matching software. Just because I'm in a, say, Gnome session, doesn't mean I can't use the KDE file manager.

this nigga.
Why do some people prefer MATE over Cinnamon? Isn't MATE an obsolete version of Cinnamon?
