What's a good desktop to put on Arch when I install it?
One you like the aesthetic and functionality of?
At least give us some details about what you need faggot.
Why not just a wm like Openbox, i3, dwm or Awesomewm? I feel like a lot of people use de's and don't actually need them.
I preferably want an actual DE, not a WM (i3, awm, etc.), I'm thinking like GNOME, XFCE4, etc. And I would like to blur stuff, so I may go XFCE4 with Compiz Reloaded. IDK. That's why I'm asking for suggestions by other people.

If you're into KDE their compositor actually does have quite a few effects like that without requiring you to look in to compiz. Gnome can also work with compiz and is easy as FUCK to use, xfce is fine but it takes so long to get to a reasonable level.
LXQt or KDE
Openbox.
xfce4 is broken, you click on the start icon and it automatically closes unless you click it "just right"

>LXQt
why?
>>55034594
XFCE4 or i3
Everything else is shit.
>>55034594
KDE.
>>55034594
so you go and install arch, then want to use a DE instead of a WM?
did you miss the point of arch?
>>55039768
What?
CDE. It's opensauce now.
>>55039768
Can you please expound a little more on that retarded remark?
>>55034594
Unity or Deepin
>>55034594
KDE of course
>>55034594
KDE Plasma 5

There's nothing you can do with Arch that you can't do with Ubuntu.

Pretty much my realization after using i3
I navigate around faster and feel more organized with i3 and no launcher beats dmenu or rofi

Just compile it instead of relying on the untrusted AUR
>>55040008
Go ahead, compile it yourself. Post results. I will be waiting.
The compilation takes less than a couple of minutes.

GNOME - Surprisingly complete and stable, not state-of-the-art in usability
KDE - Polished, looks pretty good, not very space efficient or consistent
Unity - Usability, well-documented and maintained, may not look very good to your taste
just use aweseome WM

An Arch user admitting Arch is a meme/rice OS, basically.
>>55034594
Every computer, unless it's a server. Then just go with debian.
