so what's your favorite desktop enviroment and why?
None. I just use a WM and build my own environment on top.
LXQt because nothing else is light. XFCE is "light" like your fucking mom after an all-night dinner fried food all you can eat buffet is "light".

DEs are for noobs. just get a WM like i3 or awesome.
>>51419217
windows 10
gnome flashback.
Or something lighter I suppose.
>>51419217
GNOME because it just fucking works with my surface pro 3 and I don't have time to figure out where to put scripts to get my fucking audio buttons to work
>>51419217
There's bits of all of them that I can't stand to be without, so I never end up using one more than any other
>>51419217
Cinnamon (on Debian) - it's the best of a bad lot. All of them look a little ugly but some are amateurish and ugly.

If only... I would seriously consider paying a small fee if Microsoft released non-Metro as a desktop environment.
MATE (on Debian testing). It makes my balls tingle with nostalgia.
>>51419217
Fluxbox or Cinnamon, cant decide.
I use the one in elementary OS. It just works, never had to do anything after I popped the DVD.
I use cinnamon and sometimes i3. I mostly just like having something pretty to look at so I mess around with cinnamon. I3 feels nicer to use though although I still have to review shortcuts since I don't use it enough.
I like xfce, but I'm making it more and more like cinnamon.
Unity

Favourite? Gnome, due to nostalgia of my Yellow Dog (PPC RHL fork for PS3) days of sticking it to Sony. Thanks cunts for all the free games I got access to by holding off the update to keep otherOS.
XFCE
it's so damn comfy

Can I get some screenshots? My windows look so bad. I don't know if I should change the WM, the VM theme, or who knows what the fuck else.

>just works
I never understood this. It was always buggy for me and Midori limped along like a diseased dodo. The whole experience was shit. If you like it because it looks nice, fair enough, but you could get a better system with Debian testing + GNOME + Plank + a Mac theme.

That's very neat, Simon.

what metro? I haven't seen any metro since my first install of 8 couple of years back

>nearly 900mb idle
Glad I chose MATE desu senpai, idles at just under 300mb.
I know idle memory usage doesn't really mean anything, I just think it's interesting.
>>51420568
that's not idle at all. idle is around 290 for me with compton.
>>51420588
Fair enough en luv

At the risk of getting BTFOd my favorite is OSX 10.6, its just super comfy for me and for my workflow it just works. I learned how to do all my work in that environment and it just works for me. My personal fuck around build though I enjoy Ubuntu GNOME, but I don't really use it too much.
Ubuntu + GNOME. That's the sheet spot. I also have Windows 10 theme for window style and Mac OS X top bar.

You bookmarked Abos?
That must be a good video.
>>51423252
it's just https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
this way youtube doesn't distract me with their retarded suggestions.

I am extremely happy with Numix. What I didn't know was how xfce handles qbittorrent. Am I in the 20th century?
