>>54640846
I'm using gnome and I like using it a lot, but it often freezes when I try to do things like move, copy, and decrompress large files
Ubuntu unity is pretty good in my opinion

Why does everyone like gnome? acording the the /g/ wiki I should stay clear? what has it got compared to something like xfce?

I used to be a kde guy, but ever since the gnome devs got their heads out of their asses and added refresh rate control, I switched.

>>54641255
>xfce4-panel
why?
>>54641288
I've gotten used to it, because I used xfce for so long. I finally made the switch to i3, but (for now at least), I can't live without it. I need my plugins and whatnot

I use Cinnamon. It's everything that Gnome 3 should have been.
You also don't need a million extensions to make it usable. I wonder how many people here actually use stock Gnome?

Do you mean your desktop stutters when messing with large files? If that's the case, it's a long-standing kernel issue.

It's literally MATE/GNOME2 but good looking. Or GNOME3 minus retarded.
>>54645311
I remember doing that. You need to install a theme made precisely for whatever GTK version you're running.

Why would you use anything Unity outside of Unity?
Xfce has its owe indicators:

You can use GUI or Terminal to configure the panel like you want:

Gnome flashback metacity
Newer versions are ugly af and have worse usability
KDE 4 on laptop, KDE 5 on desktop. If I could add a non-hideous thermal monitoring widget beside the system tray, I'd probably upgrade, but running it side-by-side, it seems like a pain for no benefit.
Also, fuck anyone involved in the KDE 3 -> KDE SC 4 + Plasma -> KDE WTFBBQ naming explosion. Seriously, I can't make sense of that shit.
I'm using Unity right now. I want to switch to a different desktop environment but I really like that Mac OSX style global menu thing at the top. Is there another DE that has that feature.

You can get it in MATE's Mutiny panel set up.
But why would you change if you like Unity?
I switched from MATE to Unity and I really like it. Managing windows feels a lot easier on Unity, especially the double-click on the launcher to have the windows of a specific application spread.
>>54651375
Also. you will have to deal without Flatabulous on MATE (but Arc Darker is pretty nice also)
Btw, which Icon theme is that? Paper?
KDE.
>inb4 /g/ memes
You can change the default behaviour if it doesn't suit your opinions.
>>54651445
>>54651465
Thanks. My issue with Unity is that sometimes applications minimize to the hidden unity panel instead of to the dock I'm using and it's driving me nuts. I'll check out MATE.
Also yes, it's the Paper icon theme.

I demand performance from my hardware and running exe files.
>>54651428

But the thing with KDE is that their components are all tied in, hardly modular.
With lxde or xfce, at least their components are reusable in tiling wms. Like, I can use the xfce file manager in dwm. Bad example: loading nautilus will turn on some gnome dependencies.
>>54651439
Sure, its all your preference and how balance things based on your use case.
Example:
Gnome with Rhythmbox, my battery rate at 50% lasts for 2 .5 hours
Dwm with CMUS, my battery at 50% lasts for 4.5 hours.
>>54651533
Okay, I was wondering how you made the panel transparent, but this explains everything. I used my MATE install with Plank and it works really well, as you can remove all other panels which control your windows there and be left with only Plank + Top Panel which you can use to display the window menu bars. I haven't tried the global menus myself in conjunction with Plank, but it should be really easy to modify the MATE-Tweak "Mutiny" layout for the panel arrangement to suit your style and then save verything.
