Once and for all :
KDE Plasma or XFCE?
(Also not sure wtf is KDE Neon supposed to be)
>>54289870
Gnome
>>54289870
Tumbleweed Kde
>>54289894
dude
>>54289870
Xfeces doesn't even have a chance.
Unless you run a poorfag hardware.
ALL of gtk DE are stuck in the 90's with shit themes and softwares
>>54289967
Doesnt same software work on gtk and qt as well?
Is there any other Qt DE besides KrashDE?
>>54289870
Neon is just bleeding edge rolling releases of stable KDE rather than having to sit and wait for the next release of Kubuntu to get a new version.
>>54289995
gtk and Qt software is not the same
Take Dolphin and Thunar for example.
Hint: One is useless piece of shit
>>54290022
Ah I see. So since KDE is itself buggy,is it better to go with Neon because you have more chances to be more updated so the bugs will be fixed faster for you?
>>54290038
I always considered Dolphin the best fm, but unfortunately I considered it also the only good thing from KDE...
>>54290045
KDE isn't buggy. Your GPU is shit and has no drivers
>>54290038
which one of those is useless
>>54290066
Ever heard of KDENlive?
>>54290072
Then who is to blame that my GPU has shit drivers for Linux? Why do KDE fuckers want to force GPUs when they know that they are not generally suported in linux world?
>>54290095
Upgrade, poorfag
i3
Go buy some bleach, gtk cucks
>>54290102
Yeah I'll upgrade faggot, to OS X.
>>54290164
>""""Upgrades""""" to OSX
>Calls others faggot
WEW lad your head is filled with cum and I was talking to a lump of semen the whole time
>>54290022
So for best possible stability and up to date software is it better to go with Neon or Plasma?
>>54290095
>>54290102
Linux should be compatible with basic hardware. If there's any area of technology where money shouldn't come into play, it's Linux.
>>54290186
Gnome
>>54290072
>>54290102
>>54290174
>>54290186
Neon for latest "stable"
Plasma for it shipped with the OS and it just "werks"
>>54290209
Stole your meme lol
>>54290213
>neon
>stable
wew lad
>>54290258
That's right. Neon developer version is only out yet.
So... KDE or XFCE? Still no answer.
(unbiased) pros and cons of each?
>>54290308
KDE
>Not a deprecated crapware
>Has features
>Better softwares
I run KDE on Arch. Recently updated to latest version, now I have 2 plasma processes consuming 100% CPU on 2 separate cores at all times. Back to i3wm I go.
>>54290323
See this doesn't help at all
>>54290351
Prove one thing wrong
every single fucking time I try to run anything with KDE, whether it's designed to use it or whether I force it in, it shits all over itself within the first day of use.
I love the look and design of it, and pretty much every single app it uses seems better than the alternatives. But holy shit if it isn't, bar none, the absolute least stable thing I've ever had the displeasure of using.
>>54290364
I can't because I have no idea about either. That's why I'm asking, and you're not helping

It's essentially a case of features versus performance. The best way to find the DE for you is to try them yourself.
twm
>>54290072
I'll install Windows then ;)
>>54290157
That looks atrocious
>>54289967
then enlighten us and do show your superior qt desktop
>>54290696
yeah, this
>>54290683
What part?
>>54290475
Thank you. Brace yourself for a dumb question: can I sue Xfce on Kali Linux? The Gnome DE I'm currently using is all kinds of fucked up
>>54290475
Here's the actual answer to you OP
>>54290696
>>54290739
Can that menu be changed to something more practical like whisker menu for example? I dont like that my top used programs are icons on the left and that most of space is taken by categories I never visit..
>>54290475
>>54290733
This is nice. Thanks. But what about distro? Is it enough to go with Kubuntu or Neon? I kind a dont want to go from familiar environment and especially non-apt managers :/
>inb4 apt is shit
:(
>>54290771
You don't set up shortcuts for your most used programmes?
Yeah application menu can have three different modes: I think you are looking for KDE dash menu which can replace applications menu
>>54290715
I don't see why not. I have never used Kali, but it depends on whether it's in their repos.
>>54290790
Kubuntu is pretty bad. It's out of sync with KDE releases and ends up having outdated and buggier software for a while. I don't think Neon is quite ready yet, and I think it would be better to go for a more well rounded distribution anyway, something like openSUSE, Fedora KDE, or Arch (or Antergos/Manjaro for less work).
>>54290790
Enough for what? If you're not all that familiar with Linux and want to go with something that's easy to use and otherwise simple, just go with Kubuntu. No need to make it harder than it has to be.
>>54290739
Well? I thought gtk cucks would meme me for some reason. Like 1366x768 res? No one?
Top kek
>>54290739
what do you think of keyboard control and work flow using kde?
does anyone even use activities?
1. Quartz/Aqua
2. Pantheon
3. maybe KDE plasma.
xfce
has and does everything I need
works and I can be confident /hopefully/ future changes will be more technical than visual and I will always have the hastle free desktop that does the job and remains consistent
kde v4 >> kde v5
>>54290959
No complains there. Sending active windows to a Virtual desokop and Krunner is set up accordingly in my machine.
I can literally press Cntrl+left key to switch to my virtual desktop 2 where Libre office is loaded. If I need to run a different software there is always krunner
Workflow is great
>kde v4 >> kde v5
Top meme. Any valid explanations besides muh nostalgia?
>>54291038
also meant for >>54290987
>>54290987
thats a little bit too optimistic.
I use xfce since forever and they fix big things once per 3 years approx...
The best part is xfce is so much customizable but on the other hand all themes are almost complete broken shit on xfce so it doesnt even mean anything to have ricing capabilities...
>>54291038
The reason you're using KDE: is it only because of qt/gtk, or also because you actually prefer kde over gnome (if you have tried gnome that is)?
How about times when you have to use gtk? Does it look different from your qt theme or is it still fine?
>>54289870
>(Also not sure wtf is KDE Neon supposed to be)
It's basically Ubuntu with KDE done right.
I just tried Plasma 5.5 in a live system, and I'm tempted to leave my comfy Gnome 3 for it. Somebody stop me!
>>54291069
>all themes are almost complete broken shit on xfce
a bit exaggerated
most themes should apply the same across all gtk des
im aware there are exeptions

>>54292225
tell us whhat is comfier than gnome3 in kde
>>54292863
nothing. I don't know if that was your point, but if it was, that was a brilliant question. Nothing is comfier in KDE than in Gnome.
What I do like about it is that cpu usage and memory usage are both lower than Gnome. Also Breeze theme looks great. But I'm very much content with everything Gnome and GTK, so I'll stick with this for now.
>>54290157
looks like a turd tbqh senpai
>>54293045
xfce of course
>>54290086
Dolphin
I'm loving plasma so far, but is there anyway to have files open ONLY with a double click in dolphin?
My shit is opening with a single click and its pretty jarring
>>54293699
You can change it in system preferences/Input Devices/Mouse
>>54293787
Thanks
I was looking for it everywhere
>>54293798
It IS hard to find though.
They should've added it to the dolphin settings as well.
>>54289870
kde ofc
I swear to god I used to see decent looking KDE screenshots a few years back. What happened?
>>54289870
>xfce
Enjoy your screen tearing.
>inb4 compton
Still the same shit.

>Still the same shit
Elaborate? I swear enabling Compton vsync deals with screen tearing.
>>54295646
Apparently not in everyones computer
>>54295523
You can use cube desktop effect with kwin since 2016 - 7

Top fag!
>>54295783
Holy fuck what cursor is that please please please
>>54295828
I don't use it much but it's good to have installed (and looks good in screenshot)
>>54295837
Stock Breeze dark. KDEs default cursor
WOW Gnome has some epic extensions

Ever since plasma 5 was forced upon us, I have missed having a calendar widget.
Now I launch a full screen application just to check my agenda.
Maybe I was in the minority of people who liked having widgets on the desktop.
Does gnome have something like krunner?
>>54296137
You obviously don't know what you are talking about.
Calander widget was gone in the earlier version of Plasma 5.x
It's there now
>>54289894
Agreed.
tried KDE, XFCE, Openbox, Unity and Gnome.
Gnome is by far the comfiest of all. Opnebox is good too if you time to waste.
But Gnome is the best "out of the box"
>>54296511
>Gnome is the best "out of the box"
With no minimise or maximize option and the humane thumbnails
>>54289870
budgie in da house bitches!
>>54296511
Gnome is the best OOTB if you use your computer only to browse facebook.
>>54296619
I do like the gnome integration with online accounts
>>54296702
I can't wait for GNOME 4 to come out and have a single button interface to launch your browser and full integration with your social security, DMV and healthcare files.
>>54289911
dubs speak the truth senpai
>>54296702
People actually use those features? I've never seen one decent desktop OS implementation of online account integration.
>>54295646
Don't you have problems when leaving fullscreen? Compton freezes my laptop sometimes, it's really annoying.
>>54298724
Reason why people don't use that piece of shit
