Does /g/ have a favorite DE?

if you're using linux and still need a DE then you should not be using linux in the first place

KDE applications are best apps.

Cinnamon on mint is the only one I can get to work fine with no screen tearing and other retarded issues

i'd have to go for LXDE myself. i don't use a computer to look at fancy decorations, and it's fast and light.
>>
>>55621517
why would you use lxde when xfce exists?

i3wm and no DE

My favorite is xfce but I never could resolve the screen tearing issue. I started to like unity but the applications menu is a clusterfuck on par with windows. I'm using kde right now and while it takes some getting used to, at least I can find everything and video doesn't tear.

Also, unity has shit for settings.

disable the default compositor and use compton

I just start compton in my .xinitrc

it works for my nvidia 770

I used to have doubts but KDE Neon ended them. KDE really is the best.

Hopefully with the LTS release in October I can start recommending it to normies and not just to edge casers on /g/.

If you have a WM, a panel and a file manager you are already using a DE retard

I didn't know there was a special olympics for file managers.

Windows Explorer is a file manager and desktop environment senpai.

The first process takes the form of the DE. Any additional process takes the form of a file explorer Windows. This makes it so file management is fully integrated in the DE.

Unity just works. Why does everyone not just use it?
