Best Desktop Environment and Theme?
>>
KDE seems to have gotten better. Partial to XFCE, OpenBox and Awesome as well.
>>
I am running KDE Plasma on Arch. Really liking it too, it seems to just work for the most part and looks really good after some basic configuration.

I should get around to trying XFCE, which seems like the only viable alternative.

not a DE, but xmonad

>>54589121
Breeze is objectively the best polished icon and desktop theme you can get

everything else looks like toy theme that professionals won't use
>>
MATE with breeze or oxygen icons
>>
Suggestion: If you claim something is best also attach a screenshot of some kind of your setup, would be curious to see.
>>
OsX

Literally any DE other than cancerous GNOME

Can't think of any reason other than being freetarded to use anything that isn't Windows on your desktop.

WTF are you on about dualbooting?

CS:go, Dota 2 and factorio. Noticed more Frames and less Drops

There is no difference retard. DEs are just bloated WMs.

>DE's are WM's.

kek.
>>
>>54590965
WM is a component of DE, newfag. Do some reading
>>
>>54589121
GNOME + Adawaita
>>
>>54590965
Do your fucking research cuck. WM handles the windows while a DE gives an overall experience with preloaded panels, programs and other bloat

I like it without gaps because my screen resolution isn't great. Maybe if I had a WQHD or 4K monitor.

Personally I would recommend Apple for a Desktop environment (homOSeX El Chapo), and theme would be the El Chapo Mountain.

SysV is dead man. It's only supported through its clone aka GNU/Linux.

>inb4 b-bbut Slowlaris and AIX
na man.. dead.
>>
>>54590569
Honestly thought it was pretty obviously implied I wouldn't be using a desktop environment, but I guess you're especially retarded
>>
Gnome 3.
>>
KDE is solid. XFCE is alright. Wish E17 was better supported.
>>
>>54589121
XFCE4.
It's basically how GNOME used to be.
>>
KDE for Windows-like environment.
gnome for mac-like environment.
xfce if you like garbage.
lxde for minimal resources/low end machines (~128 MB)
cinnamon for a decent slim environment (~550 MB)
