I just installed debian 8 and I am going to get a desktop environment. What are the best desktop environments in your opinion?

Michael Thompson
the framebuffer
Ryan Cruz
i3 wm

guhnome
Landon Adams
XFCE is nice
But only if you can take the bullying from your colleagues for using a DE that doesn't provide
>user management
>service/daemon management
>firewall management
>file sharing management
>time zone/internet time/clock and date settings
>etc

openbox + tint2 + conky and copy bunsenlabs configs

Ran LXDE for a bit, XFCE for a long time, never really liked KDE until 4.7 came out.
Google DE's, try out the ones that look good to you and decide, the biggest factor is your preference.

i use Gnome shell because I'm not a faggot like the rest of you.
Cooper Smith
>i use Gnome
Jason Sanchez
openbox for a bare bones minimal
or
xfce if you want a basic taskbar with clock, menu, & etc...
Carter Cooper
Just try all of them, satan. I use MATE on my laptop because it's lightweight and isn't incoherent shit like xfce. On desktop I run KDE because muh features
Noah Robinson
XFCE 4 life nigga

anyone got window buttons in the panel on xfce working? there's a plugin for it but I couldn't get it to install and looking at the github it has memory leaks. I'm a fiend for screen space
Connor Ortiz
Cinnamon

Unity
When you press alt in a program, you can search through the menu options.
The super key is automatically mapped to the programs on the task bar by number.

It's buggy and not customizable. It does have potential though. Fine if you like the default and don't touch it much I guess.
Chase Campbell
I liked GNOME, and then I tried Cinnamon and liked it better. It's like GNOME, but more customizable.
Nicholas Wood
wich button everythings' working for me
Caleb Diaz
goodies.xfce.org
but it doesn't work for me. I mean move the window buttons on the title bar, into the panel, next to the applications menu
Nolan Roberts
why would you want that you have 2 windows open
Christian Foster
It's for servers just remove it now. Anyone who tells you to install it with XFCE is meming.
Jordan Gonzalez
I like MATE because it's like classic GNOME. XFCE is also pretty good.
Jordan Anderson
MATE
If you want to try a WM use Window Maker
Nathan Perez
Nvm I figured it out. Needed to compile with --prefix=/usr.
William Wright
I like lxde with the arc-dark theme
Joseph Lopez
peasants with their Desktop environments
Parker Morris
i3wm, probably the most efficient to use once you get used to it and customize the configuration, also pretty light weight.
Josiah Howard
GNOME

Cinnamon > Xfce > GNOME
Josiah Davis
>no Cinnamon
Just fuck off already.

Windows 10. Seriously.
Here's my new custom rig:
i7 6770k 4.0GHz
32GB G.Skill Ripjaw RAM
MSI Z170A M5
MSI GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC
Linux can't handle all this power. Open source drivers for my GPU blow, performance is shit. Screen tearing everywhere. Seriously, WTF.
Go Home Linux, you're drunk.

Quit being a beta faggot and choose your own DE.
