Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I would think the poll should have allowed multiple selection. Or maybe multiple polls? For me it really depends on what the end use is.
My server is command line (but has a web GUI, but that was not a choice). Two clients that are doing specific tasks use WM's. My primary desktop uses KDE Plasma.

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I'll admit it. I use Gnome......and I like it.
Though, the first extension I add is the 'no overview at startup'. Just like a clean desk in the morning, I like the un-cluttered look when I first start up. That is one thing I liked better back with Gnome 3.

The reason why I responded primarily with " no comment " is that I didn't want to provoke a dispute , impugn neither Mint , my Linux school vessel .

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I run on Sid & only use window managers.
Currently, I am embarking on a long term (30 day) test to see if SwayWM will really work for me. I have done extensive testing and even built a fairly detailed tutorial with dotfiles etc on setting up SwayWM for use on a Debian distro. Now, I'm trying to see if I can get to functioning in a full-on Wayland window manager (compositor). I will attempt to clean off any apps that currently require xwayland or qtwayland to function. I'll update all my findings and work arounds with updates to my Sway tutorial.

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I mainly use either Xfce,Lxde or Lxqt it all really depends on my mood on said say.
Note that these figures are given with Chromium open with 4 tabs and Firefox open with 2 active tabs further my system was purchased from an off lease veneer and I specifically specked it out with 16GB of ram.

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
Currently XFCE, used MATE before
I find GNOME && KDE bloated, non-customizable (at least not that much as I can customize XFCE, for example) and somewhat hard to use
I got used to Cinnamon being Mint-specific so I don't use it on Debian
I find LXDE too obscure even for me, haven't tried LXQt yet (I think it's time to finally test it, so next Debian install will run it)
On me server - no GUI at all, runnin' on command line

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
Openbox, typically with lxqt-panel, tint2 or xfce4-panel. I have complaints with it like (compared to the big DEs) like lack of animation, lack of pixmap themes or rounded window frames, but for my sanity it's the very best option even if it's far from the prettiest. Prettiest might be KDE, but every time I try using it I feel like I'm fighting it and then something bugs out and I ditch it.

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
Have you tried it with the greybird theme (greybird-gtk-theme)? That theme is in the repos and has support for both Openbox and GTK3, with both a light and dark option. Once you install it, then you can pick it from obconf. You also have to set it as the GTK3 theme as well.
Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I have, it's fairly nice color-wise. What I miss most is rounded edges and animations, though remembering picom has a fade option recently helped me with the latter. I've posted a screenshot of my Openbox setup in the desktop thread.dlu2021 wrote: ↑2024-01-14 23:13Have you tried it with the greybird theme (greybird-gtk-theme)?

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I use Gnome, but it takes a little customization to be useable. Gnome-shell-extensions application menu and dash-to-dock.

Re: What Desktop environment do you use?
I love XFCE. Used to use KDE in Arch and Cinnamon when using Mint.
After everything, finally I settled with Debian and XFCE.
XFCE has surprising amount of customizability and I'm impressed.
