Debian User Forums

Wheezy is very good. Been with Debian since squeeze came out and the diabolical Unity interface.

I also only use XFCE for since Debian Squeeze was released. I tried KDE for awhile but this laptop is old and does not have much power to run it. I am looking into getting a new laptop eventually and then may use KDE but we'll see.

Sorry for asking the question. I do realize it was asked countless times. But I was curious on people's opinions for Wheezy due to the Gnome 3 switch over to see what most was still using, I won't ask again.

So out of curiosity what is everyone's favorite DE/WM in Wheezy? I've upgraded my Squeeze system to Wheezy, and I mostly like XFCE since it is a lot like Gnome 2 IMO. I am also playing with Gnome-Shell just to see the big difference. I can see why people are mad about the changes so far. Most likely...

It did for me. But only because I told it to.

Conclusion is that I am requesting debian developers to study the opensuse software manager and how it handles software installation and resolving dependencies. In opensuse if we try to install a particular package it will recursively display about dependencies and also it will never ask new userna...

What brought me back was my laptop for some odd reason would not bootup after an update. I tried re-installing Linux Mint but kept saying xorg server failed, and I couldn't figure out why. So I remembered I had a Debian Squeeze disc lying around, so that install worked flawlessly, so once I had Sque...

I've also returned back to Debian after a 1yr with Linux Mint. Now on Wheezy with XFCE. I love it! Never going to another distribution again. I'm done with Distro-hopping. Thanks Debian!

Sticking with Xfce.

Use Leafpad text editor and straightup HTML and CSS coding.

XFCE on desktop and Gnome 2 on laptop. When I upgrade to wheezy probably kde on laptop and still xfce on desktop.

Easy fix. Install KDM. Then install KDE. System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Login Manager. Much easier to change than GDM3. lol.

What about OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice? I use LibreOffice myself.

I was a heavy Gnome 2 user. up till Ubuntu 10.04. Now I'm on Debian Squeeze KDE. It's awesome. Sometimes I switch between XFCE.

Welcome I became Windows free back in 2006 with Ubuntu 6.06. Used it till 10.04. Switched to Debian Squeeze with KDE when it was frozen in 2010. Been happy ever since. Sometimes I switch back and forth between XFCE but more and more I'm using KDE. Good luck.

I had the itch for distro-hopping again and moved my main desktop to Linux Mint 12. But now I'm coming back to Debian Squeeze tonight. Too many bugs in Linux Mint. I also tried Kubuntu 12.04 but I didn't like it. My laptop and desktop will now always remain on Debian.

I like Audacious. Reminds me a lot of Winamp.

I'm guessing I'm intermediate I used Ubuntu from 6.06 until 10.04 as my only operating system no Windows since 2006 here at all! Didn't like where Ubuntu was heading switched to Debian 6 Squeeze in december 2010 (i think). Started with kde but then switched to XFCE. Love how light it is on resources...

I've been running Debian Squeeze since it was frozen back last December (2010). So far no updates have messed up my system. I have not lost X or sound or wireless.

I've been using LinuxForever00 as my user name I figured using my real name is better.
