What should I choose, /g/?
MATE or Xfce
>>54557353
Xfce.
Also, why the fuck is the Debian installer so fucking slow? Takes me less time to follow a tutorial and install Arch than it does to install Debian.
>>54557353
Get ssh you plebeian
>>54557353
for the love of god anything but KDE
>>54557353
xfce
Mate. I just installed it on my desktop today. Old good gnome 2 is based gold
>no CDE
fuckin' dropped!
KDE.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with KDE.
>>54557401
There's just no reason to use it when there is stuff like Xfce, Mate and Cinnamon around.
Alright - xfce it is!
This shit is so slow.
>>54557353
I've found XFCE the easiest to customize the way I like.
>>54557410
not using based fedora with DRPM
XFCE is my preferred choice.
>>54557353
Xfce if you just have to pick from the list, otherwise Fluxbox.
>>54557376
>implying that even Gnome and Unity are preferable to KDE
Wew lad, that's some hardcore retardation you got going there.
Personally i use KDE because it has a wide range of customizable features. Also while on the topic of KDE. Does anybody use xmonad with KDE?
>>54557550
I like Unity. Why don't you?
>>54557370
Is Arch the /g/ distro? I see alot of people here using it. I got debian just for development stuff.
>>54557566
He's using Debian you retard. Not Ubuntu.
>>54557573
Not really. I mean, I really like using it and now that I'm hooked I find it hard to go back to something else, but it's still just a very vocal fanbase I would say.
If you look in stuff like desktop threads people are actually using a fair number of different distros.
Uhhh so I installed everything and it boots nice and all but...
The screen is very fuzzy.
Does this have something to do with Nvdia? I use a gtx 750 ti. Do I need to do some weird stuff for the driver?
Anyone have any ideas?
>>54557573
Arch is for teenagers and neets who need their computer to be complicated to use so they feel accomplished because they have no use for their IBM clone when it's working. Top tier developers who work at places like Google are using Ubuntu.
>>54557617
What kind of monitor do you have?
>>54557623
Every flavor meets every person's needs.
>>54557625
Some shitty 2012-esque samsung. Don't know the exact model.
I was booting into gparted earlier fine without this problem.
>>54557617
I think you need a nonfree driver for Nvidia to work well. Ubuntu sets it up for you if you can't figure out how to do it on Debian.
>>54557353
Cinnamon unless it is resource limited then choose Xfce, But if you want the absolute best and don't mind spending countless hours fine tuning your DE choose KDE, but that is too much of a hassle for me. Mate is too buggy and it is for those clinging too hard to the past.
>>54557661
Too late champ.
>>54557656
Well fuck.
Debian is my attempt at escaping Ubuntu.
>>54557573
I would imagine the majority of us that are actually using linux are on Linux Mint it is the most popular.
>>54557688
Nah. /g/ users don't seem to have a very high opinion of Mint.
Jesus I can hardly even read shit without having to zoom in. I want to die.
On the plus side, from what I can tell, XFCE is comfy as FUCK!
>>54557695
Of course, we all use Gentoo, Arch and when we really fell edgy we use LFS, but secretly we know we are actually using Linux Mint.
So I'm installing what I think will fix shit right now. Man, Debian is pretty neat. I think it'll be even neater without the washed out display.
>>54557826
Didn't work.
I'm fucked.
>>54557954
Nevermind fixed!
I am now at one with the Debian master race!
Anyways, what is the deal with Gentoo? What's that commonly used for? Other than dick measuring contests?
>>54558010
Gentoo is used for watching stuff compile.
What are you expecting from Debian that Ubuntu doesn't do with less effort? The only reason I use Debian on one of my computers is for the Sid repository.
Install Xfce, Cinnamon, and MATE and test them all to see which you like best. Then install LXQt to see if that works better for you.
>>54557732
nobody uses Linux Mint, really. There is just no reason to use it over Ubuntu.
>>54558010
It was used to impress the impressionable and to see if they will actually attempt to install it, but now that they made the installation user friendly the party is over.
None. Just use a window manager.
>>54558063
Gentoo is user friendly now? When did that happen? The last time I installed Gentoo, it was easiest to do it with another live bistro.
>>54558061
>nobody uses Linux Mint, really.
Distrowatch tells a different story
>There is just no reason to use it over Ubuntu.
Pre-installed Proprietary Software and User friendly DE
>>54558061
I do. So you failed.
LM 18 will be pretty sweet if it isnt now already. Its for everyone that doesnt want to spend whole day typing in the console. >2016
>>54558079
It's pretty easy now, you just have to setup your partitions, unzip a base system, chroot into it, set a few things up and reboot.
>>54558010
>Anyways, what is the deal with Gentoo?
Gentoo allows you to select what features the software you're installing should have. For example you could decide to install Firefox without pulseaudio support if you're planning on having an alsa-only system.

back to OpenBSD you go anon
