Will this madness ever end?

Xfce and KDE are both good

Making a compelling graphical operating system for people who aren't the sort of people that like tiling WMs would require a sane, well-funded organisation taking charge of everything and the rest of the ecosystem playing along, so keep dreaming.

> Will this madness ever end?
As long as freedesktop.org and all the associated garbage protocols (e.g. shit like dbus) exist it will be shitty.

Solution: write a X11 DE in the way it was intended to be!
- use lightweight X11 Athena widgets
- use .Xresources for configurations
- abolish bloated client side rendering X extensions
- remove all dead weight graphics driver code from the X distribution which is nowadays handled by the kernel anyways
- Program all standard apps for the DE: Word clone, Excel clone, Image editing, Audio editing, Video editing

It would easily possible to make a DE that uses less than 1MB ram on start up and looks just like Windows 10.

Just use Window Maker. It's always been the best.

OP has a point. It's the current year and I still have no proper Google Calendar integration in neither KDE nor GNOME.

how do you fix the fucking screen tearing though

fpbp. The default on top productivity distros (debian, fedora, ubuntu).

The closest answer is MATE for a full-on DE.
but really, I'm using Window Maker right now
it just works, fuck it

Debian has no default DE you scum.

by not using it

its pretty late for that with Wayland. maybe it could happen on *bsd but youd have less developers, on the upside the bsd ecosystem is less fractured

use windows or chromeos if you want that shit

> imagine using 20 year old interfaces daily

Even GNOME is already better then what the competition has to offer, it's astonishing that Microsoft is getting completely BTFOed by the freetards when it comes to designing a non-infuriating Desktop experience.

Unironically, KDE Plasma is the comfiest distro to transition from Windows with.

GNOME is garbage

> imagine using 20 year old interfaces daily
Modern UI design is actually just trash and insists on doing garbage like spacing things like text and buttons out, wasting the user's time with slow, distracting animations, and obscuring what things do with shitty icons.

UI design hasn't improved in the last 20 years and has even gone backwards in terms of accessibility.

lol tranny fag

>Not using every operating system at different times for different things.

>imagine using 3000 years old letters daily

What you're describing already existed in the early 90s, and it was terrible even back then.

Do it. Start with smething simple, like a panel. If it turns out to be not shit, people wwill contribute.

Windows is spy- and malware. You should not be using it at all. And so is macOS.
The only real choices are Linux and BSD.

Budgie

OP is right, every desktop environment fails in it's own special way.

GNOME - ok defaults but no options, non-intuitive metaphor that makes YOU change to suit the desktop
KDE - shit defaults, overwhelms you with options
Xfce - tearing unless you install the brand new buggy version AND have intel graphics or do autistic tweaking
LXQt - barely a desktop environment
Budgie - GNOME hacked to be somewhat more usable, settings half in gnome-settings half in Budgie specific settings
Cinnamon - probably the best, but still plagued with issues like icons in the taskbar not being properly associated with windows until you restart

Year of the Linux desktop scheduled for circa 2038

>KDE Plasma is the comfiest distro to transition from Windows
considering it's a direct copy of Windows no shit Sherlock

plasma just continues the trend from old KDEs, which are older than the windows design.

If anything it's too late for Wayland.
10 years in development. No features.

Have you never used KDE?

THIS! NEW XFCE UPDATE WHEN??? KDE AND XFCE ARE THE BEST FUCK THE REST!

Also fuck i3 and other garbage meme wm

this

This, Gnome is good.
I don't really care, I can do everything from the terminal.

kbe plesma best virtual table yes sir
dance panty

You're using a terminal based OS, and you wonder why the DE's suck? Hmmm...

>terminal based OS
how retarded can you get

Wayland has plenty of features however they are almost all available through extension protocols which your compositor may not support.

Gnome Shell modded to look like Windows is about the best you can get.

>sudo apt install compton
>autistic tweaking

did you know XFCE stands for XTREEM FUCKING COOL ENVIROMENT and it's assumed you don't know that if you write it in lower case so it's common sense to scream it at people who ask about DE's

make your own, lol
