What desktop/window manager do you use?
Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
Xfce, nothing else.
apt-get install braindump -t unstable

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
GNOME 2 and then GNOME 3!
What's the big deal with xfce, windows 95 clone? And thunar is such a piece of crap i can do more with windows 95 file manager.
KDE sucks so bad. Dolphin is such a piece of crap, cant mount? fail authentication blah blah. its like an unusuable nautilus. Who needs all these stupid plasmoids widgets?

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
KDE. I also think it should be default for new installs, as the most user friendly environment for those who switch from Windows.
Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
++, though we still should wait until it gets a little less buggy. For example now Plasma often "freezes" so I cannot click anything, although the mouse moves and works properly inside programs, it doesn't highlight any items on the panel and I cannot click close buttons etc.Abdu wrote:KDE.

So for the time being I use Gnome 3 and I quite like it - there's only one annoyance (but really big) and that's alt+tab behavior which shows windows from all desktops and thus making the whole virtual desktops concept pretty useless.
Because let’s face it, the unfortunate aspect of software development is that it involves humans. Mewling, disorganized, miserably analog humans. Sometimes they smell bad.
Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
We should be able to choose more than one option.
I'm using GNOME 3 now, but I've been using LXDE, IceWM, Xfce and Openbox (from the most to the least used).

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
this pool should've had a *box and tiler options, at least, or listed the most relevant from the two categories. what, there's "unity", but not fluxbox or awesome wm? nice. i guess linuxers running debian are more likely to choose "unity" than either fluxbox or awesome, eh.

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
I would change the options, but I dunno. It's not all that important, only 20 people voted the 'other' option.Llewton wrote:this pool should've had a *box and tiler options, at least, or listed the most relevant from the two categories. what, there's "unity", but not fluxbox or awesome wm? nice. i guess i have a small rod, eh.
Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
^obviously i can't even spell so what do i know.
yeah, just 20 out of what 60 total, that's negligible

We can come up with a damn near perfect OS and repo of applications using FOSS all while fighting the software patant system and mega corporations and yet can't come up with a single decent method of taking a poll. Face-palm.
The board should implement a way to let people add new entries.

Adding new options if possible, with the little disadvantage that votes are zeroed.Mr James wrote:We can come up with a damn near perfect OS and repo of applications using FOSS all while fighting the software patant system and mega corporations and yet can't come up with a single decent method of taking a poll.

The "Arch Forums way" is quite effective in the end, imho.
EDIT: I voted for Xfce, btw.

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
arch forums are good - arch wiki is good - it's just the distro that sucks

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
Also an Xfce user here.
Its interesting as here the second DE is Xfce and not KDE as it use to be often.
In addition the smaller/lighter DEs/WM seem to be quiet popular under Debian.

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
I just switched from GNOME 2 to KDE 4.6 in Wheezy, I was just fed up with a compiz bug with Iceweasel 4 menus disappearing.
So far so good.
I might give GNOME 3 a serious try when it lands in Wheezy.

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
I have been using the antiX M11 (Debian-based) with Fluxbox for about 6 weeks, now.
Fluxbox is a very well documented and supported Window Manager.
I have learned a lot about Fluxbox and how it works.
Fluxbox has replaced Xfce as my primary desktop.
I have found Fluxbox to be easier to use and configure than Openbox, with many additional features.

Eh the wiki is vastly overrated. A few good pages are fine resources. The rest isn't exactly better than what you'd find at Ubuntu.Llewton wrote:arch forums are good - arch wiki is good - it's just the distro that sucks
