Now check XFCE

So Xfce or MATE?
>>
>>55483418
it's not bad desu
>>
>>55483484
Cheatsheet for you anon:
>GNOME = Windows 8
>XFCE = Utilitarian, practical. Just a taskbar and applets
>KDE = Resource heavy, easier to customize and some would say pretty, but very clunky
>Cinnamon = Windows 7 with security bugs and other bad shit
>MATE = Vanilla linux experience
>LXDE = Barebones as hell, snappy but not very aesthetically pleasing
>>
>>55483521
Xfce unless you prefer homosex
>>
KDE 5.7 is actually good. Otherwise use awesome.
>>
>>55483521
xfeces is the better of the two

and you can rice it to hell if you're into that kind of thing
>>
>>55483484
If you have a modern computer with power to spare, do KDE, otherwise do XFCE

Best thread. Many laughs. Thanks OP.

Gnome
>>
>>55483798
GNOME is the default Debian DE. If you leave just "Debian desktop environment" checked, you get GNOME.
>>
>>55483556
Is 5.7 in the repositories now?
>>
>>55483958
No clue about debian.
>>
Use use the CLI, faggot.
>>
>>55483967
What about arch cause that's what I really wanted to know lol
>>
Do KDE
>>
>>55484034
I second this. Kde feels premium. I never thought it felt clunky like the other anon said.
>>
KDE master race
>>
>>55483994
It's avialable on arch. In fact I installed arch today just for the purpose of testing kde.
>>
>>55483484
You fell for the meme

>>55483926
Yeah. That's what I figured.

gnome 3
>>
>>55483643
one thing a newbie like me didn't know it's that you can easily change DE, it's just like installing another program
>>
>>55484287
yes you an always remove a de or us emore than one. not much pint . but yes. another great thing about linux.i used to do netinstall with --noinstall-recommdsn often. get it pretty clean and grab what I what. Honestly i prfer ubuntu when it comes to full DE's instead of debian. but both are good and not so different
>>
>>55483354

Cinnamon is the best

>>55487850

XFCE has a compositor that actually works well once enabled. Or he could just apt install compton

Gnome the better DE.

THIS, XFCE OR KDE.
Openbox or fluxbox if you want to be a professional memer

Another vote for KDE here. But you should try all and figure out what you like.

Which DE has a red logo/icon?

Why is there none?

Why is Windoge 10 blue again?

Can someone tell me what's wrong with Cinnamon?

>>55489622
Not much but basically xfce is lighter and is very similar. As well as mate.
>>
>>55483253
why don't you try each of most popular DEs for a few days and decide what is best for you?
