Why?
>>53100878
Free as in freedom
Cinnamon
>>53100906
The fuck, how is it botnet?
lxde, cinnamon, xfce for DE
fluxbox, openbox, enlightenment for WM
why? just because i like them
>>53100887
My image won't post, but I was trying to say Openbox
>>53100878
Deepin because it's good looking and intuitive to use.
The unique flaw it has is that Deepin still has to finish developing its own file manager (and file picker).
*insert gnome file picker meme here*
>>53100878
spectrwm
Low deps, low on system resources, efficient pixel usage, customisable through human readable cfg (no recompiling), nice/easy support for floating windows, easy ricing, ...
best tiling wm imo
>>53100931

This is bullshit and you know it!

>>53100931
The only thing I find on botnet in the catalog is:
>>53099278 ">Use Linux >Get backdoor'd".
Are you referring to Linux as a whole or the cinnamon DE itself? Because if my laptop running Arch is using a DE with a botnet, I need to get a new one ASAP.
>>53100973
That's the default cfg.

Don't listen to him, he's an ignorant /v/irgin.

cinnamon, because it looks nice
xfce looks like shit, kde is too heavy, gnome is too buggy
I prefer KDE.
I really like krunner and the Qt tools.

>>53102794
Some people actually have things to other than ricing their setup for 10 hours a day.

gnome for touchpad laptop, cinnamon for desktop
I actually honest to god like Unity. *hides behind a rock*

>>53100878
KDE3
KDE4 eventually drove me away from DEs in general
>>53102794
You should judge a DE by its usability and not by its looks. This has nothing to do with ricing.
>>53100878
Xfce
Because preference
>>53100878
Xfce, useful and quite light
>>53100878
Gnome 3
Xfce + Awesome
>>53100878
I enjoy xfce4, it's really comfy, KDE and gnome gotten increasingly bloated over time. Some people even say that xfce4 it's bloated, but that's the kind of people who uses only WM and that's kinda overcomplicated to configure and use.
>>53103147
I don't find Unity THAT bad either, you just need to disable Amazon shit and deactivate online search.
Unity + Numix theme and icons is fucking beautiful.
xfce tbqh familly
>>53100878
lxde, because muh customization.
wanna try kde, actually never tried.
Gnome 2.
>>53101031
Gnome Shell is actually pretty nice, desh
GNOME really
It feels polished and consistent. I could imagine a world-wide deployment of GNU/Linux with it as its DE.
>>53100946
How does it compare to i3?
CDE
>>53104021
KDE used to be very clean and polished, then it became bloated and ugly

GNOME 3 masterrace
ive used gnome and xfce and xfce is my favorite, but they can both look really really good.
on a laptop i'd most likely go for xfce again and when i get more knowledge about linux or whatever i'll drop a DE and just use like openbox or something.
>>53100878
Cinnamon.
It's everything GNOME should have been
>>53104389
Nostalgia. :-)
Consider MATE.
Gnome with Gnome Shell = Musyard race. Modern look, powerful performance.

Lxde is pretty fast and slim but it's a bitch to customize, most gtk themes doesn't work on it. I'm just using the default theme, even the other ones that came with it doesn't fucking work.

There's only one worth using.
Unity
>>53106140
this desu
Since the birth of tmux/screen, there's been no point in seeing how many pixelated pastel-colored terminals you can fit into a screenshot. It's $CURRENT_YEAR -- visual appeal matters.
Using tiling wms = masturbation. Sorry kids.
Cinnamon
>>53106343
>Since the birth of tmux/screen,

Kay Dee Ee Plasma 5. Features, really. Breeze looks alright, KWin is godlike, KDE Applications are generally great.
>>53106436
yep
Xfce with openbox replacing xfwm
Mate because of how it is.
>>53106269
this
>>53100878
Openbox. It just works.
>>53100878
GNOME, though there's room for a lot of improvement (such as thumbnail support mem or dev's attitudes)
Xfce is very nice but doesn't have many features.
LXDE has some nice software, great for old/shitty computers.
KDE is shit since KDE4.
>>53100878
Cde or kde
>>53100878
KDE Plasma
Mate
just deal with it
>>53104795
lol ur desk looks like its 2001 or something xD
KDE is easily the best I've used, which isn't much of an accomplishment. LXQt will become awesome sometime this year, but isn't just quite there yet. I still need to try Lumina. (you can guess I'm not a bit fan of Gtk based DEs)
>>53100878

>>53108067

You poor, lost soul
>>53108067
So I see you're using GNOME.
>>53100878
Fluxbox + compton
>>53100878
gnome 3
For me, currently, Gnome 3 > MATE > XFCE > KDE > LXDE
Don't have enough experience with LXQt to rate it.
I like Gnome 3 because I usually use single monitor setups, as I primarily use a laptop, and the way the virtual desktops work just make it very easy to have a ton of things open and running without having to hunt for them. It's also pretty awesome looking (default and themes, arc-dark being my favorite).

Not only are you too shit tier to run it on metal, you use a shit tier hypervisor
>>53108338
I mean if you have any actual suggestions for a better hypervisor, I'm all ears.
I've tried most of the alternatives. They're all shit. Vmware used to be good but support for it has died so I don't want to invest too much in it anymore.
>>53108367
VMWare is the best on Windows
Xfce, because reasons
>>53108399
I do agree, but the last VMWare version has likely already been released, and I can't relish in the past without investing in the future.
>>53108416
I'm sorry that VirtualBox is your best option then. I was merely being confrontational for the sake of it earlier.
>tfw your only real options are vbox, vmware, or hyper-v and only vmware is any good
>>53108304
Yoooo stop being so savage xD.
I have an old monitor because my laptop screen cracked and I was lazy to get a new one. xD I am trying to learn penetesting, so I heard Kali is a good distro. Chilll man chill
>>53108367
>wat is qemu+kvm?
>wat is Xen?
Qemu+kvm is the correct choice, especially if you want GPU pass-through. Xen is good (compared to anything else), but it is a lot more complicated to setup, for poorer performance than qemu+kvm offers.
Running any VM on Windows is the textbook definition of doing it wrong.
>Visual studio
because i could deploy, version control, code, compile in just a press of a key
>>53100878
XFCE because it's as close to Gnome 2 as I can get.
I've been using xmonad plus some gnome apps for years. It's been very fast and productive for me.
>>53109861
>>wat is qemu+kvm?
Only works on Linux.
>>53109861
>>wat is Xen?
Might as well just install the OS natively at that point.
K as in Gentoo
>>53109950
xmonad looks really nice. The fact that it relies on Haskell though is a turn-off though. If you know Haskell already (or maybe want to learn it), that's one thing, but the idea of learning it just to use xmonad though just seems a bit dumb.

Good job anon-kun!
>>53100925
Openbox is a wm. He said de.
>>53112020
Hey, friend. Is that cmus?
>>53101065
anon...I use i3 on a 204ppi screen. Do you need help setting it up?
What problems are you having. If you have trouble, xrandr is a lifesaver. Just find your dpi and type xrandr --dpi <yourdpihere>. i3 adjusts everything really. You can do the edge cases in qtconfig and gtk config tools.
In general, to me hidpi is best used for giving me extra space, so I don't follow this and actually keep Xs DPI at 96.
>>53112020
Are you using i3 correctly? Looks like an aweful lot of wasted space. I wouldn't use a wm that wasted that much screen.
>>53100878
Atmel Studio

XFCE and i3wm for laptops
Openbox ( like in elementaryOS) and Gnome for desktops
None. A wm is enough to get comfy without forced meme software. Just install what you need breh.

Gnome is the most beautiful, but I like dicking around with WMs instead.
Who the fuck uses a DE? i3 or gtfo
>>53104458
Too bad Ubuntu had to create Unity. Gnome 3 was what people actually wanted.
>>53106562
ill be honest, that's fucking neat
>>53113709
Yeah, I just made windows float in one workspace to take a screenshot.
>>53117283
I don't understand why anyone would use OpenBox over Fluxbox though. They are very similar. Enough so that it's not an issue of one looking, or feeling better than the other. Where Fluxbox outshines it is in configuration. Configuring Fluxbox is pretty much just editing simple text files. It's just so much easier to get setup the way you want it.
>>53101031
Not only is it ugly as fuck, it's also the worst DE there is.
Plasma
GNOME.
It just werkz.
