Which DE lets me do this? Note that there are no top and bottom bars for maximal muh vertical space.
>>
>>55074465
All but gnome/unity and cinnamon
>>
>>55074465
windows actually. On linux kde i guess ,or maybe xfce/something that lets you edit panels. But if you want unity without a topbar (which i really dont understand why they didnt do it that way in the first place since the top bar is useless) than no.
>>
>>55074485
Which is the best for a laptop? Does having KDE really kill battery life so much? Is Xfce really deprecated? Is MATE more bloated than KDE?
>>
>>55074502
KDE is best for powerful desktops. I suggest you use Mate or Xfce. Xfce is still alive
>>
>>55074502
mate is not bloated ,its just full-featured. On some distros it takes less ram and less cpu than lxde, while maintaining features. But for me it tends to be buggy.
Xfce is really old tho. I imagine that kde with full desktop effects and vsync is using more battery but you can configure it to be lighter, if you can live with the buggy kde meme.

i suppose they head from some macfags that a global menu bar is improving productivity, while it just wastes space and fucks with menu icons. Someone shoud write a petition to canonical so they remove it.

Literally XFCE
Or MATE
Or KDE if you want bullshit
Or LXDE/LXQt/Trinity/Enlightenment/...
>>
>>55074502
Mate is the best, period.

>>55074465
what you're looking for is windows 10
>>
>>55074501
>>55074630
The top bar is also the title bar and menu bar so in unity you actually use less space that in windows, xfce or any other DE or WM when the window is maximized.
yes also i3 has a title bar and menu bar and use more vertical space
have you ever used unity?
>>
>>55076370
I use unity currently. If there was no top bar firefox for example would have more vertical space. Is there any browser or any way to make firefox use title bar as adress bar/tab bar
>>
>>55074485
I literally have this on Gnome.
>>
>>55074502
I've been using KDE for a bit on my laptop. As far as bloat goes, it definitely has a wealth of options/settings (and a fuckload of visual effects), but going through and adjusting them can lead to a lean system. (Lean-ish, at least, compared to what it can be with everything turned on) I'm a bit under 1GB RAM usage right now for all the KDE stuff.

Can't say much for battery, though, just because of how I use my laptop. (And I don't see this DE breaking/fucking up like everyone claims it does.)
>>
>>55074683
Yep, still alive.
>>
>>55074465

This is what I do

XFCE and KDE can both do it super easy, and with a nice amount of customization.

Windows can do it too
>>
>>55074502
KDE Plasma 5 is actually pretty easy on the battery. However, xfce might be better if your system has low resources. MATE is pointless compared to xfce.

Fuck off.

>>55076607
Mate is like xfce except with far fewer bugs and a lot more and much better applications.

>Mate is like xfce except with far fewer bugs
It's the other way around.
>and a lot more and much better applications.
moot point, any MATE centered application can be run using xfce and any xfce centered application can be run using MATE. The DE does not put limitations on what applications can be run.

Maybe, but it's far from dead. Low amount of developers isn't the same as a dead project.
Also debian jessie is fucking cancer, get that shit out of my face.

stay mad, noone uses your dying DE archboi.
But seriously , xfce is not bad but its window manager is , and additionally changing it to another one breaks the xfce settings panel. And its been this way for the last 2 years from what i remember.

I don't know what's wrong with it, can't say I ever had issues with xfce. Then again, I've been using KDE since 2 years ago.

Today someone posted a comment on our wordpress site. The link was the same as the post itself.
It redirected me straight to the same page i was before.
Could it be that someone had a script on it to track me?
