Give me one reason why cinnamon isn't the best DE

Give me one reason why cinnamon isn't the best DE

is this the new desktop thread

It uses GTK

I'm in.

Because it's a shiny windows ripoff. Made specifically for normies

Because my DE is better.

xfce4 is.

You say normie like it's a bad thing.

Just a windows ripoff, and the standard Windows UI is ugly and outdated.

>2gb ram consumption without doing anything. NIce DE.

because win XP exists

>Pentium 4
>FX 5200

Are you from 2003?

it's almost like i have other shit open in different desktops

cute pape

Gnome 3 based.

It is. Simple, looks good, and they're constantly making it better

XFCE4 can look pretty much identical to cinnamon if you want, and if you don't want that then it's completely customizable to however you do want it to look.

And it manages that while being less resource intensive than cinnamon. I used to use cinnamon and I do like it, but there's just no point to using it over XFCE4 if you don't mind spending half an hour doing some customization.

From the thumbnail I thought your background was a picture of Shrek's head

this is a really good desktop

lowest ram consumption of all "pretty" de's

Problem is XFCE doesn't work well with 4k displays, while Cinnamon does

>windows ripoff

the windows DE is great, you guys want macfag DE's use Unity and leave normal people who use MATE, XFCE, Cinnamon etc alone

>Implying I want a DE at all and am not happy as a pig in shit with i3

It's based on Gnome 3

>best DE
that title belongs to windows, sport. once customized, comfy as fuck.

Can't unsee.
It's this.

make up ur mind nerd, one second u make threads about how great macOS is, the next ur pretending its windows

cancer

how about you get a life and stop stalking me you nasty smelly weeb

falling for the year 2003+ meme

would look pretty decent if you didn't have the computery Vista bullshit on the right and shitty wallpaper

Because MATE

Ubuntu makes Mate go over 300mb to reach over fucking 500mb WTF

hello, this is my desktop

cinnamon is just MATE with a better menu though

yes
Here is my desktop

I personnally prefer tiling + multi-desktop and the fewest mouse usage possible. A mix of AwesomeWM (for the lua conf and the better eye candy) and i3-gap (for the tiling algorithm) would be cool.

Does it work with compiz?

Because unity is by far the best DE. No discussion required

...

mind sharing that wallpaper?

...

>2017 -3:10
>you STILL can't change the font in the Cinnamon task bar
this kills it for me

And don't get me started on reordering the menu tabs at the task bar

>Are you from 2003?

He's using xfce4. He's obviosuly from 1998.

KDE is better

Kde/kwin is fine. Plasma is a fail that is now 9 years old. They should have buried it after the kde4 fiasco and start something more "professional" from the ground.

Because Plasma exists

It is

>Give me one reason why cinnamon isn't the best DE
KDE exists

sure buddy

am I the only guy here with a 4k monitor?

probably, 4k is silly

not at 43"

...

>no taskbar to the side
just a shitty gnome skin

they just allowed vertical panels a couple weeks ago w latest cinnamon update. honestly needs some work though, cinnamon applets like calendar need to be reworked to look nice in vertical mode
