What's your preferred DE?
I’m currently testing Fedora KDE on a VM (windows host) before eventually switching over to Linux completely.
You're viewing a single thread.
Thanks for all your discussions. All your experiences are very helpful for me. Now here is my top list and reasons:
- Cinnamon (most familiar and very stable for me)
- XFCE (I like the responseness and lightweightness)
- MATE (stable and reliable)
- KDE (I like the configurability, but unfortunately I experienced a lot of instabilities and accidents)
- Gnome (I don't like the new UI concept. When I tried it, it was laggy and non-responsive)
Out of this list:
- I3 (only head good things, but never tried it on my own installation)
- Cosmic (first time I heard about today)
- Budgie (first time I heard about today)
Cinnamon is, straight up, the best. The only annoying part is that damn debugger thing that shows up that damn and useless LookingGlass thing which defaults to Super+L. Super+L definitely should be Lock Screen instead.
Gnome will be slow without acceleration. Were you running it in a vm?
Tried it on VM and Backup Notebooks. Especially on old Notebooks its hardly usable.
That is likely true although it may also have to do with a lack of ram and bad GPU support.
