Which DE will you use on Buster?
Which DE will you use on Buster?
Curious which desktop choice you will make for Buster, or have already made if you are running Buster right now.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Xfce is what I typically use. I have not touched Buster yet. I've got some used parts piled up, waiting for me to try to build a useful computer. I will probably try Buster on it. I don't even know what the CPU is, right now... it's hand me down stuff.
Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Openbox with Tint2 if I can dist-upgrade my Stretch the way I like it, including openrc boot. If not I may stay with Stretch or look to another OS. Having explored Buster I don't see much worth upgrading for.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
Still with dwm for buster
I tried to get velox working but although I installing it and got the desktop running the keybinds wouldn't work and I got frustrated and gave up after a while. Maybe I'll go back to it at a later date.
@Bulkley: Devuan beowulf works fine with OpenRC (using sysvinit as PID1) and one forum member claims to have got it working with openrc-init[1] but Debian buster won't load the input devices for the graphical desktop under OpenRC.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
I will use GNOME and Sway. Mostly Sway.
Because of that, I plan on using Sid.

Nothing will change, Xfce.
I recently had the occasion to use Gnome3 for a while but I prefer Xfce.
No experience with KDE since ~2008.
I am curious about tiling WM though

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
I'm thinking I will use Buster with KDE, though tempted to use MATE as I typically do.
Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
I'm using MATE with Buster (buster is my daily driver Debian now, for quite a while actually). I've been using MATE since wheezy, and it works very well for me - the standard panel at the top, and the Plank dock at the bottom. Very efficient and effective. I don't really care for any of the others, and I've tried them all.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
I am running GNOME, Xfce, and MATE on separate hard drives. My stable of hardware prefers different desktop environments. Luckily, Debian has always covered my bases.
Running Debian on Dell: OptiPlex 3010, OptiPlex 7010, OptiPlex 9010, and Inspiron 1545.

Re: Which DE will you use on Buster?
KDE Plasma 5 is way better in Buster than it ever was in Stretch.

I agree. KDE is much nicer out of the box on Buster.sunrat wrote:KDE Plasma 5 is way better in Buster than it ever was in Stretch.

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.
