Which DE are you using?

After the last week with EOS Xfce, I’m back to EOS Plasma. :grin:

Last few weeks I am on KDE, but thinking about Bspwm :slight_smile:

On my Gaming Laptop only EOS Cinnamon.
And on my litle office notebook with openSUSE, Pantheon (the elementary os DE) and cinnamon.

I use i3wm a lot.

But then my job needs me to share the screen for presentation. I have a thought that if I use i3wm, my co-worker will think I’m a hardcore. So I use Cinnamon, customize it to make it elegance. Then I notice it start weird with my dual monitor setup, so I change to KDE. It only a few months since I use KDE, so far I love it, there’s so many options.

Can’t get enough KDE? :+1:

Back to :enos: Xfce. At least I’m only DE hopping, rather than distrohopping :clown_face:

I find the main reason for DE hopping is something that irritates the )(*&^ out of you. This is why I keep ending up with XFCE - it may not do everything, but it doesn’t seem to do anything WRONG either :grin:

Of course, this is after CSD is cancelled out

Yes, libxfce4ui-nocsd is essential.

That’s the one I’m using, but I think I have gtk3-nocsd-git in another build… :grin:

Running Gnome here, since I have a 2-in-1 laptop, and out of the box Gnome is prolly the best for touchscreens. Not entirely loving it, I usually do i3 or a more traditional style WM although I have been known to use UKUI at times.

Right now I’m running Deepin. I have not had any problems. I do have Cinnamon as a backup tho. I know I said I had no desire to switch from cinnamon, but then I saw Deepin

I come from Linux Mint, so i’m very used to Cinnamon, i feel myself very comfy with this DE.

I was always bouncing back and forth KDE and XFCE mostly. Just stuck to XFCE for simplicity as spend most of time in web browser.

No widgets, no desktop shortcuts, no taskbar pins etc just blank.

Would be interested in a new DE and WM poll :slight_smile:

Similar to poll here. Just out of pure curiosity rather than what is right or wrong.

KDE for me on my laptop - i really love how configurable it is, I don’t need anything crazy minimalist (even though KDE is pretty minimal anymore). I use XFCE on my old Lenovo pc that I use for music production due to its utilitarian design, but on my daily driver laptop I want something sleek and shiny :sweat_smile:
