Bro the spyware stuff is deepin related not elementary os related
elementary OS is Ubuntu-based distro, so it’s based on Debian, but not directly. Some people state that Pantheon is quite different from macOS desktop implementation. The only real similarity is using of dock.
Chris Try MX-Linux -Try looking at it. Have used it for older PCs, especially laptop. Out of the box – give it a try. Think it’s fine for new non technical users.
Uses it now instead of Lubuntu and XFCE
Doesn’t suse use KDE tho?
Hey!! Opensuse runs kde out of the box and has for a long time afaik. I don’t like gnome either and I love opensuse
sometimes you are using gnome without "gnowing"
I’ve always used Fedora since I started with Linux about 5 years ago on my laptops. Always kept Gnome, although I use dash to panel extension. Works fine for my workflow.
On my older laptop 2Gen Core-i7 8 Gig Ram Geforce 280 GTXm I’m running Netrunner with its KDE and its very heavy on the resources, some I’m thinking of switching to Voyager Linux with its custom Gnome EV, I think it looks very a piling !
Yo, XFCE has Xubuntu
Gnome is closer to Fedora. Debian and Ubuntu usually end up with an older version.
I love playing with Plasma 5 and kde neon, BUT when it comes down to it xfce is what makes me feel comfy, have to agree with the comments about it being as ugly as sin and that the developers do themselves no favours with the look out of the box but it’s not hard to get it looking stunning.
Really hate the dark environments, they are super ugly, as windows 10 is ultimately the ugliest.
Is the Gnome distro Fedora? Especially when these 2 dev teams are so involved with each others
Love Cinnamon and MATE. I hate Gnome and KDE. Still have no idea what the Gnome team were thinking turning everyones desktops into the useless tablet that they never asked for. KDE has always seemed complicated for complication sake.
Never mind my comments, as I am a dinosaur, lol…….
Arch/Archlabs + Plasma KDE = perfection.
Currently on Patheon DE. But given the customizability and functionality, I’ll definitely try KDE some day.
Btw i use arch + i3
I’m interested in your opinion of KISS Linux with sowm.
KDE + fedora
I’m a KDE user since 2011, tinkered with a few others but could never replicate my workflow from it anywhere else, its customisation features are extensive and unmatched.
What does he mean by dependency as far as i know you can install any desktop environment any distro?
Finally someone mention Deepin as an alternative. I have Deepin 15.11 on my two PCs. Cheers!
Window Maker is on the list π€
But which DE are you using on your system in this video? I like how it looks and the presence of tray icons. I didn’t manage to make them work on Pop!_OS in GNOME with Topicons Plus extension.
I thought that xfce desktop environment is associated with xubuntu distro and ice with Kubuntu. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
Fluxbox – You’ll never go back.
I love KDE and Ubuntu is my favorite distro.
I started with cinnamon on mint, just installed plasma over the top. Like it so far, but every time i reboot, everything on the panel shifts to the left. Its crazy how light it is compared to cinnamon considering how many more animations there are.
Budgie is my go to distro π
i like the unity desktop
What is the best distro between Manjaro KDE , KDE Neon and Linux Mint Cinnamon for daily use ?! and for an amateur who wants to go deeper into the linux world ??
For those who really don’t like GNOME, I have some questions for you:
1- Why you don’t like its workflow?
2- Is it because it isn’t enough like ‘Windows desktop paradigm’ ?
3- It is not enough like the OS/X desktop paradigm?
4- It’s philosphical and you hate because you want to hate it… and not because it is bad.
From what I see and read (or hear here) most of the time about people who doesn’t like GNOME, it’s because they didn’t really embrace it to understand it. They want something else (Windows GUI or OS/X) and they can’t find it.
I prefer stable and well supported.
I kind of like the kde desktop because of how incredibly flexible it is but it has to be will implemented into the disto to work will. So I was using Feren OS, Great OS and the creator has some great ideas but will, It’s kind of like kde 5 years ago and for newbies needs a little more work to be ready for prime time. Iv’e switched to MX kde and I’m hoping with there track record to be using it for many years to come any thoughts?
xp look is great.
I like MATE a lot, but prefer the Dolphin file manager, because you can have video thumbnails. Any advice on what desktop environment might be better for me? Dolphin runs kind of janky in MATE. Cinnamon???
I am eagerly waiting for adobe to make their product for Linux so that i can switch to Linux!

Deep in is spyware
i though xfce was good looking until i booted fedora, btw i’m using manjaro xfce right now so they made a pretty good job with it
Weird that you use Vivaldi but not use the keyboard shortcuts to change and close tabs, or mouse gestures.
Default MATE does look horrid, but with the right theme it can look fantastic. (the same could probably be said for all these)
Gnome is great. The main reason I can’t go back to Windows. I can’t get that workflow any other way
I like deepin or gnome but I use a bunch of gnome extensions with gnome and change the wallpaper to make it do some of the things I want it to. I still would rather have the deepin style category based app menu but the only gnome ecyension I can find to do that sucks and I donβt know how to make my own yet
Xfce Customization https://youtu.be/Y_x5svD2sZQ
Gnome 3 is a jump that allowed me to better my workflow
I just started out on Linux this February and so I am on Linux Mint: Cinnamon. I do want to branch out and check out other Distros like you recommend and Environments. I have changed the Cinnamon Environment a bit to fee like more of Windows so I can get used to things as I learn more. Once I can afford to build a new PC, I will go advance and try out Arch based and go from there.
Debian XFCE all the way
Gnome and Kde is the best β€οΈβ€οΈ
