Which should I use for a laptop?
Parker Torres
Nathaniel Russell
GNOME
or you could try
XFCE4
or
Openbox
or
i3wm
I don't care, it's your machine.
Luis Moore
I like i3 on my laptop because it minimizes the occasions where I have to use my shitty touchpad
Mason Thomas
xfce with i3wm
Oliver Wright
Good point. I've never used i3 before, how light/heavy is it compared to Xfce?
Why should I use Xfce with i3? legit question
Wheres the benefit?
Isaac Clark
Windows 10
Levi Murphy
I'd say they're both pretty light. I'm also interested in I never thought about doing that
Jason Torres
Xfce. All others on the list are shit desu.
Liam Williams
Xfce
David Williams
bspwm
Austin Gutierrez
Where is the actual difference between i3 and bspwm? I've read that i3 has better defaults
Tyler Russell
Gnome is shit
i3 is for nerds
Openbox lol
xfce is based
Eli Sanders
Whatever the new MacBook pro with i9 comes with. *Dabs*
No but seriously that dabguy is a faggot. Anyway, I only use gnome or mate, and the latter on my laptop.
Landon Morris
LxQt
Alexander Evans
i3
Jacob Jones
I've also looked at this. Looks very interesting, and the themeing is also really nice. Seems to be fairly light aswell.
Jonathan Lewis
Awesome you dumb nigger niglet.
PS: Good quadruple numbers fren
Austin Jenkins
Never looked at Awesome before.
Also didn't notice the quads, but these seem to be indicating i3
Elijah Smith
just use i3/awesome AND xfce. That's what i do. I usually can do everything with close to default awesome config, but shit like presentations and whatnot is (((too hard))) with it (i am too lazy) and therefore its nice to have a full fledged DE as backup
Aaron Garcia
I3 is way (and I mean very way) lighter than xfce4, because it's just wm, when xfce is a complete desktop environment.
Grayson Johnson
Alright, thanks. I guess I will be trying out i3, i3+Xfce and maybe play around with LXQt aswell
Julian Hall
use i3 with a nasty low-quality wifi tray application which doesn't match the theme of your desktop, or just use iwlan every time you move to a new location
under no circumstances must you use KDE and nm-applet since the user friendly aspect reminds you of the worst parts of windows
Christopher Murphy
KDE.
Cameron Sullivan
KDE isn't packaged for my distro and I cba to package it myself. Also I hated it every time I tried it so far
Jack Morris
Bspwm is autistically daemonized and badly documented
Cooper Cox
And how does that compare to Awesome?
Henry Myers
Awesome is better. Bspwm is just for the "muh minimalism" fags and awesome is configurable in lua
Luke Gomez
Sounds pretty good. Will try Awesome aswell
Ethan Flores
i3 provides the most efficient workflow once you're used too it. Plus the keyboard-only navigation is way better on a laptop where you are often forced to use a trackpad.

quads confirm i3
