Desktop enviroments holy war

I'm tired of gnome 3.

Is mate a good option?

...

A functional, customizable desktop environment is always a good option.

gnome 2

xfce boy

this. literally nothing better to be honest, familia

this or lqxt.

>using a DE

No, it's obsolete. Don't use obsolete or deprecated software. Gnome 2 was superior for it's time, but not for 2016.

Why did they choose to call it "mate"? That is a rather derogatory term used to describe animals having intercourse.

The Java Desktop System is the best DE.

Holy shit, I recognize that DE from the military. I didn't know what it was called or even that it was a DE. I just thought it was Solaris 10. Good stuff, thanks for posting user.

But Mate is not customizable. It's one of the least customizable DEs around, for that matter. You need to type fucking console commands to hide desktop icons and enable/disable compositioning,
It is however functional.

emacs

A perfect chance to try KDE/Plasma 5.

>2 line prompt

See OP user, that drink is called mate and from there comes the DE's name

This. Honestly, why use anything else?

Plasma 5.6

Lumina is the only correct answer.

Its an argentinian drink as seen in OPs pic desu

Also the guy who created the fork was argentinian too

South American actually. Bolivians, Brazilians, Paraguayans and Uruguayans also enjoy it.

>what is mate-tweak
>what is dconf-editor
you r dumb haha

I tried kde, xfce, lxde, mate and cinnamon before i installed fedora and i hate them all. gnome pissed me off at first but im used to it. i still want a way to install gnome 2.x like ubuntu had before unity.

Have you tried Lumina, user?

>hates mate
>wants gnome2

This.

It blows everything else away

I find it more readable
