You say that, but plenty of Ubuntu users have distro-specific issues in /fglt/.
> lightweight desktop environment stepping on the best of Gnome 2
I prefer tiling WM. Also lightweight but functionally better than mouse-pushing orgies with weird window arrangements like you have.
That window and possibly other windows could be filling the screen rather than show some fraction of a desktop wallpaper.
> Ubuntu package base
And Ubuntu package manager and Ubuntu package creating tools. Turned out to be an utter arsepain when I wanted to use Ubuntu server - but if it works for you, good for you.
>it's pronounced ma-tee
DROPPED
because i use normal ubuntu with the wm that i like. would install gentoo but im too lazy to do that so i use ubuntu as long as it works
>looks like shit
>buggy as fuck
>hard to theme
>no firefox thumbnails
KDE is better. Fuck off with your Gnome garbage.
MATE looks like shit since they switched to GTK3.
>Ubuntu package base
I had connection problems in the recent versions of Ubuntu (16.04 still worked fine), so I switched to Debian Stretch and it works much better.
i dont even know what most of the over 2000 packages do. i have a similar setup with gentoo and it has under 500 packages.
Because Xfce/KDE > Mate
>Why don't you use Ubuntu Mate, Jow Forums?
but I do
It's binary-based and defaults to systemd. If I were willing to have these things in my distro, I'd use Arch.
GTK2 is ugly
>buggy
I'm playing with it in a VM since they released it (18.04), haven't found a single bug yet
>KDE
It is a homosexual desktop environment, full of colors and happiness.
i bet you would like manjaro coz it is way easier and faster to search and install applications
>ambiant-mate still has broken buttons on csd windows
Because I use xubuntu instead
Yeah, the conpletely raped the traditionalok theme too with huge padding and ugly gradients.
Because KDE neon
It's much better on debian
ubuntu is a shitheap
>KDE
>full of colors
What? It's literally grayscale
It's pronounced like the beverage. Did you mates come in materials other than natural gourd? I first saw a plastic mate in a Chueca hostel. I should get another brick.
I like standard Ubuntu. It stays out of my way while I work :-)
>>KDE

>mfw flyovers never heard of mate
KDE is better and you're a faggot shill.
Only Argentinians, Uruguayans and Brazilians know that shit pretty much my dude.
>KDE better than MATE
Yup, it is.
It is, and Xfce, too.
install gentoo
I played with it for 10 minutes and found pic related. Minor one though.
I don't use it for other reasons:
>screen tearing OOTB
>two taskbars for some goddamn reason cuz who wants screen real estate???????
inb4 "omg u can fix that easily u brainlet.."
Nah, if the developers decide to ship their product half finished like this, then I don't want anything to do with it.
I've had NO problems with Gecko Linux LXQt.
>Why don't you use Ubuntu Mate, Jow Forums?
I prefer windows 10
Ubuntu is what you install when you are too damn poor to afford a Mac.
So much this. Jumping around from distro to distro every 6 months is fucking retarded. Your shitty package manager is going to eventually eat its own cock, and your window manager looks like ape balls. If you want pointy-clicky interface, get a goddamn Mac. If you want a manly computer, install OpenBSD and live on the command line like a fucking Spartan.
Wow. A false dichotomy. Why not have a good OS with a good UI?
>shitty package manager
What package manager are you referring to?
>If you want pointy-clicky interface, get a goddman Mac.
Haha! No, the DE I'm using (Cinnamon) is good enough for me. Simple, cutting edge, and fast. Oh, and did I mention and I didn't have to go broke in order to get it?
Jesus. A Mac fag telling how poor we are. No, we're just financially responsible and we don't pay for an OS. There are several great alternatives to Mac.
THIS SO FUCKING MUCH.
Why pay for an OS WHEN THERE ARE GREAT FREE ALTERNATIVES?
An actual thought out and well written response? GTFO this board!

> full of colors and happiness
Why is that a problem?
but i do, anyways im switching to lxde soon
MA-TÉ É AS IN POK-É-MON
i only use it cause of having first advantage on new crypto coins as the nigger dev releases miners on that OS first... other than that its a piece of shit.

Switch the desktop to the "cupertino" look with the dock and menu bar, log out, then log back. Roughly half the time your panel will fail to load. In KDE I can do anything I want with the panel. Look at the Anons who add blur and make their shit look like OS X. I personally stick with the Windows taskbar look but changing the panel and some widgets shouldn't bug out when you try to switch users.
>It is a homosexual desktop environment, full of colors and happiness.
NO FUN ALLOWED!
looks like ass
kek
> Didn't provide a citation
Cause I'm not an idiot. Why not just have every stupid fucking DE in existence and select it upon login with lightdm or whatever so you can simulate distro hopping for the next 5 years until you realize how frivilous it all is and install Windows or macos if you are such an Unix fan.
>Why don't you use Ubuntu Mate, Jow Forums?
I'm not a retard.
the real question is what's your excuse for using it and thinking is worthy of a thread?
All Linux shit is disgusting pajeet autism vomit.
Citation needed
>citation for opinion
Average Linux user intelligence.
>hard to theme
the absolute state of Jow Forums
>Didn't give citation
Average Window user intelligence
It's called a reason for said opinion dum dum
>It is a homosexual desktop environment, full of colors and happiness.
>pay for OS
It comes free with the hardware kemosabe.
>(Cinnamon) is good enough for me
...this month. Who knows what it will be next month!
No it isn't. KDE isn't gay just because it's better than other DEs like GNOME 3 and your minimalist cancer known as window tiling managers.
I don't plan on using any other DEs anytime soon. Cinnamon fits my needs perfectly.
>KDE isn't gay
t. gayboi
Planning a clean install of mint 19, should I go for MATE or cinnamon?
Too bad they got out the KDE train just as it was getting good.
>no, I wont install gentoo.
Because i'm not a fucking retard and use manjaro
>t.
What is global rule 3?
What is global rule 13?
You've provided no arguments as to why KDE is a "homosexual's" DE. All you've done is spout the same bullshit. One would think with the shit taste in your mouth that you would stop.
WOBBLY WINDOWS
With the upcoming release of the Cinnamon 3.8 series there will be several improvements to performance. I use Manjaro with Cinnamon version 3.8.4 and it only uses up about 150 MiB or memory.
What's better ubuntu mate or mint mate?
>not Lubuntu
>not a tiling wm
>lightweight
Mint has a modified version of MATE while Ubuntu has a more vanilla experience.
Mint should always be avoided, they are incompetent
Incompetent? How?
t. namefag. filtered btw.
pic elated.
Oh, well it doesn't look like you're going to provide any reasons for your dislike of KDE. Oh, and by the way, I use Cinnamon.
t. faggot
They take ubuntu, modify some packages + add some proprietary garbage and release it as "mint"
They were also hacked once and distributed an infected version of the os
And this is just my opinion, but their defaults suck
Thanks
How's KDE? I heard it eats battery fast and has high CPU usage
Or kubuntu
It's alright and currently much less resource intensive than GNOME3
Not to mention their outdated packages. I know it's an LTS release but some of their packages are just ancient. Some packages get regularly updated between each version of Mint like firefox but when they do update the packages, they don't go for the latest.
One example is that LM 19 will have GTK 3.22 while the latest version of GTK is 3.24 or 3.26 I believe.
This is why I am on Manjaro now.
>7d 17h 53m
for fucks sake man give your pc a break
I use KDE new friend
OK thanks for the input
>I use Cinnamon.
KDE 5.12 and 5.13 had have several improvements to performance. But KDE frequently adds new features so the possibility of more bugs is higher.
Then tell me, what is your preferred DE/WM?
removing the trash from the bottom panel is cheating
I'm thinking in sticking to a version. Is the kubuntu version stable enough?
Plasma 5.
What's wrong with Cinnamon? It's simple, intuitive, cutting edge, and fast.
This is what a mate-base install looks like
Had to add the application menu at the top because it was missing, too
latest is not always the best
have you ever heard of the golden rule "if it's not broken, don't touch it" ?
>cutting edge
Windowmaker, nigger, if you have to have one.
Depends. KDE offers Plasma and Neon.
KDE Neon is like an Ubuntu LTS release while having the latest and greatest packages from the KDE community.
It's just GNOME3 with an even shittier menu
I know the latest the packages are not always ideal, but having ancient packages in your repository is just bad.
