No DE at all! Just xmonad+xmobar.
OS: Debian 12.4 Bookworm / DE: Enlightenment

XFCE. Been using it for couple of months now. Home directory shared between Stretch and Buster. No issues so far. Once XFCE user, always a XFCE user

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
OT:
That's not a good idea, the new package versions in buster may have different configuration methods so sharing $XDG_CONFIG_HOME may cause problems.ravisista wrote:Home directory shared between Stretch and Buster.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Agree fully. Mixing DEs with a common Home will cause even more problems. If you want common access to data it's better to put that all on a separate partition or drive and than mount that drive/partition to a folder in /home on startup, using fstab.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:That's not a good idea, the new package versions in buster may have different configuration methods
As for the original question for this thread, XFCE, after MATE continued to suffer panel crashes. I don't particularly like XFCE, I think that it needs quite a lot of streamlining from the rather raw state in which it is initially presented, certainly in Debian, whereas MATE is usable with little extra configuration OOTB. XFCE in MX is a much better example of how it should be.
Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
That's exactly what I am doing and I meant (should have been more clear, I guess). /home is a separate partition and the same user(xxx)/home directory (/home/xxx) is used in both Stretch/Buster. No issues so far. Tried the same with Xubuntu, ran into multiple issues. Dropped the idea and created a new user in Xubuntu - which is only there for backup reasons. Stretch is Primary OS for now, till Buster gets released officially.NFT5 wrote:Agree fully. Mixing DEs with a common Home will cause even more problems.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
I agree with sunrat and KBD47. I'm using KDE with Buster.
The menu makes life easier that other desktops, easy to configure and customize.
I do a minimal install with no desktop, then add kde-plasma-desktop and remove the unneeded things like kwalletmanager.

KDE (I never used gnome).
But just KDE minimal light desktop installation (as light as possible / without recommended packages : no akonadi / no kmail etc etc )

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Another vote for Plasma 5 here and I agree with the others
that there's a big positive diffrence between its implementation in Stretch and Buster.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Will stick with gnome, though I've never particularly liked it. Simple reasons: less dependency problems and a larger selection of compatible software. Stability is the most important factor to me.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Openbox and tint2 here too.
This seems to be such a common combination so soon it might be a DE in itself
