I got tired of XFCE and i want to switch to a new DE/WM.
I tried installing Gnome Shell and even using Gnome Classic it feels like using Windows 8.1: it seems to be a system made for tablets rather than desktop computers.
I'm only asking for a simple wm that has a xfce-like menu, is able to put windows into split screen (move it to right edge - have the window resize to half screen / move to bottom left, have it resize to 1/4) and won't break like xfce does.
What does Jow Forums use?

>getting tired of a DE
This is why no-one takes linuxfags seriously
I got tired of the fact that I always need to patch shit to not make it collapse. Today video thumbnails stopped working and startup scripts didn't execute. Turns out the session corrupted for some reason and everything broke.
If it was for me i'd be still using Gnome 2
kde plasma
Why don't you try KDE?

You're using it wrong. I blame the devs for not providing better hints for it's usage. Gnome has a great workflow once you figure out how to use it.
That looks quite nice.
Isn't kde a bit heavy though?
I think it's lighter than gnome now
Just try it and play around with the customization, you will probably find that it works well
can I play video games on that?
Yes
Thanks!
Gnome Shell with dash to panel, arc menu and lightdm
I just switched to XFCE after trying KDE, Gnome, Lumina, Mate and LXqt. I like XFCE but I might have to try ricing FVWM.
You can make gnome function like the classic windows experience with a panel on the bottom and a start menu. Give it a try its a nice DE. If you dont like it give KDE a got its also nice appearantly.
Whatever you do, stay away from the fucking foot DE.
choice bad
i3 and openbox are nice choices. every desktop besides lxde/lxqt and lumina are just too big imo
bloatniggers
what do you use? tinywm?
fuck no, i use dwm.
oh. well good for you
i3 obviously
look mum i replied to everyone i'm smart
Windows 10
kek, it performs great.

smarter than you, thats for fuckin sure. Kek
literally no good DE for loonicks, GNOME is the least shitty
all other DEs either have no features, don't support HiDPI or trigger OCD
Awesome, or any other tiling wm.
>using a GUI at all
bloooooaaat. I bet you also use Arch, even though it has the most bloated packages of any distro
gnome has a literal integer value controlling dpi scaling.
no i use debian
>>using a GUI at all
im not autistic like you
>DE
Just get an iPad Pro or install Windows :)
