Hello, Jow Forums. What DE/WM should I install and why?
Hello, Jow Forums. What DE/WM should I install and why?
Josiah Cooper
Xavier Lee
Openbox because maximum comfortable without tiling memes.
Gavin Adams
should've thought about that before compiling the system
Brayden Sanchez
>246 packages
>111MB RAM used after base install
xD
Ryder Edwards
gui use only brainlets.
Lucas Perry
This or XFCE for the same reasons
Jack Barnes
I'd just use i3 if you want to keep it minimal.
I use it but haven't gone overboard with the rice, just a background and some i3status bar configs
Asher Harris
You tell me? My install used 90mb even after i cleaned up some rc-services. That's what you get with genkernel...
Andrew Russell
only the most obscure and near-unusable WM you can find, for peak Jow Forums contrarianism
Aiden Morgan
you are using it right now, aren't you, user?
Cameron Barnes
Don't use i3, awesome-wm is more feature complete and user friendly.
Austin Scott
dwm + dmenu. It's fine out of the box.
Jacob Kelly
i'll look into it mate
Its my first time installing linux without a preinstalled DE and having to do all the stuff myself so i'm sticking to things ive heard for now.
Cooper Hughes
I really truly like how the first thing you emerged after the base install was screenfetch.
Xavier Myers
LXQt+Openbox because it's lightweight, no GTK garbage, and it just works
Tyler Brown
No, I'm using the Jow Forums API to view and create posts.
Oliver White
>genkernel
Should've just used clover
Alexander Stewart
sarcasm?
Sebastian Evans
>Gentoo
>genkernel
xD
Jonathan Wilson
What's wrong with genkernel?
Nathaniel Johnson
No, I just think it's funny.
Cooper Edwards
don't take advice from tripfags
Brayden Diaz
GNUStep/WindowMaker. Lightweight and straightforward style. Also something different from the usual Winclone DEs but just as easy to use.
James Collins
dwm.
>customizable as hell
>everything just works insantly
>doesn't consume resources for no reason like other faggot DE's
>no GTK, QT or any other other BS
what else you could ask for?
John Morris
Kde
Kevin Powell
KDE for maximum comfy points
Oliver Roberts
2nd to max bloated points. Only behind Gnome.
Jaxson Hill
please explain why is gtk a garbage
Nathan Young
it looks like shit and the themes suck
Landon Gutierrez
how do you put a toolbar on openbox?
Blake Butler
Xmonad
Owen Bailey
TMUX is all you need. If you're an X11 fag go bspwm.
Jackson Ward
GNUSTEP makes my business peepee hard
Oliver Diaz
2bwm because it actually is ultimate screen real estate
Gavin Butler
this
fuck you
Leo Bailey
Try a tiling WM and use whatever suits you best. Fuck Jow Forums.
Blake Powell
dwm because its not bloated
Jonathan Lee
pure tty
x for applications that need it (firefox) without a wm?
idk really
Carter Ortiz
enlightenment has a similar-ish feeling and works on wayland
the default looks is garish and ricing it is a bitch though
Kayden Mitchell
why not lumina then? ive tried lxqt and im really not impressed by it
Evan Ross
i3 because xcb
Julian Flores
Dmw
Dmw because it's lightweight, works well and niggers on Jow Forums will get triggered about it because they don't know how to compile from source.
Grayson Bailey
>muh buzzword advantage
John Clark
tripfag is right tho. awesome is great
Kayden Morgan
>muh obsolete shitware on muh 30yo obsolete shitware
Brody Wilson
Run explorer.exe under wine
Jordan Myers
>DE
if low end PC
xfce/lxde
else
kde, the latest, without hesitation, it's the definitive linux experience.
>WM
wmaker if you want a complete window manager easy to configure and to use
9wm if your PC is REALLY slow
icewm if you want a start button a'd a taskbar
i3 i guess is also cool, not used it a lot but heard it's great.
