Gnome, because it suits my workflow with little need to focus on customization. I like KDE too, but all that customizing is taking my concentration from where it should be.
4 years ago my life was changed. I went to bed on a thursday night, only to wake up with literally half of my body paralyzed. And I didnāt wake up on a friday. I woke up on the following sunday. Not only my body was paralyzed but my mind as well. Long story short, I had a sort of braintumor that left me paralyzed and not being able to speak (in Dutch: afasie).
I had been using Linux since the late nineties and once I was ready to use the computer again it had to be linux. But I couldnāt use it as I wanted it anymore.
Arch was really my thing before it all happened. But with my brain being like it now was I knew I would have to let go of Arch
So I chose the easy way, Ubuntu⦠(16.04) Later followed by Kubuntu.
And after 3 years came Manjaro. With the KDE desktop!!! It is simply said, the best of both worlds. As a handicapped person, not being able to type a whole lot, KDE was the desktop for me⦠and itās kinda Arch
Hi!
At least the post owner tell us all his/her workflow, how likes to use the desktop, machine specifications, if likes effects, etc. That question si so general that a quick search on any website could answer
Power-posting is best described as posting empty and worthless messages. It is not tolerated. People may have two reasons to do this: to increase their post count meaninglessly, or to lend support to an idea as if it were a vote. Examples of power-posting include, but are not limited to, replying with ā+1ā, ālolā, āme tooā, āI agreeā, or ā:)ā.
When posting or replying to messages, make sure you have something to say. These empty posts clutter up threads and discussion, invalidate the āUnreadā and āRepliesā functions, and waste bandwidth and server space.
Threads that degenerate into a series of ā+1/-1ā or āme too/I agree/I disagreeā will be locked. Individual power posts may also be deleted. If you believe a topic deserves determination of consensus, please add a poll to it, to satisfy the impulse of others to make empty posts.
Basically this is a pointless thread. Everyone is going to have their own opinion based on their personal needs (itās one of the reasons why linux is so great due to all the choices of desktop environment).
Best thing to do is download all of them create some bootable usb drives (or even better if you have a large enough usb drive install ventoy, then you can copy however many ISOs you want to try (trying out a new iso is as simple as copying it to your usb drive created with ventoy) onto the stick and then give them a spin.
By testing out the different desktop environments youāll be able to see which you like best or at least which has most of what you want and then you can customize it from there once you install the OS. This way youāll also get a decent feel for how the environments are going to perform on your hardware if you are using a fast USB 3.0 flash drive.
