Re: [Poll] What is your favorite Desktop Environment?
Unfortunately the OP set this to go for a year:
Not sure what tbdtitw is ?
But I can try to search on that, ... as for the thread,...seems pointless to me,
but others seem to be enjoying it.
My favorite DE is not listed, but I did vote for one,...not important which one.
I do not base my decision on which desktop environment to use on "how popular " it is any way, I customize and make a DE I like, and really don't care what is the "favorite" of others,....Oddly enough the 2 "most" popular, are my least favorite, one is worse then the other, but neither are very good , in my opinion. And the all DE's seem to be getting worse , instead of better. Very high ram consumption, and very useless.
Pure "bloat", just like so many websites any more,...and the browsers.

If you don't like the thread, fair enough. But please don't call for the thread to be closed -- that's uncalled-for. Just don't sub to it.
'tbdtitw' -- really?

Why is that unfortunate? It gives people (current and future users) plenty of time to vote whilst ending the poll within a reasonable time-frame.
If you find the thread to be 'pointless' then I don't see why you even posted here.

I doubt very much you bothered reading up on what tbdtitw is and how it came about. If you had then maybe you'd have understood the humour. Obviously I thought a great big Mr Green clue enough.

Unity.
But I don't currently use it because I have Debian stable (Jessie) on both my machines. They have Gnome, which isn't quite as good, but ok once configured properly.

screen. It's all day long on my desktop and also in my environment. But, to be completely honest, my answer is none. Already mentioned too much bloat.

I've gotta say I'm surprised that MATE has only 6 votes so far.

Yea, I missed the humor.
To be fair 'The-best-desk-top-in-the-world' acronym was a bit of an obscure reference.

Yes, I could do that and spend ages getting nowhere or I could just stick with MATE.
BTW, thanks for that https://lmsptfy.com/... link as I was unaware of that -- also there's a Let Me DuckDuckGo That For You (LMDDGTFY) one -- handy as those search engines don't give the search term in the url bar.
