What dist and DE do you run? Why? What have you run in the past? Ever thought of trying something different?
I use majaro on my T450s right now. Wanted to try something not based on Ubuntu for a change, but didn't want to go full Arch yet. I'll probably try Arch when i've been comfortable on Manjaros unstable branch for a while.
You can skip the bootable drive steps and just use DriveDroid (creates virtual bootable ISO out of android)

KDE Neon, because KDE is the second best distro (after GNOME). >what have you run Ubuntu Kubuntu Xubuntu Ubuntu MATE Fedora Solus Zorin Majnaro >ever thought of trying something different Yes. I like distro hopping on my 2nd HDD just to see how much certain distributions have evolved. I currently want to try openSUSE because it seems very professional, as in the only competitor to Microsoft.

Arch Linux with XFCE on HP Elitebook 8470p. Used Manjaro before, until I got courage to go full Arch. Would like to try something different so I will probably switch to Gnome full time for a change.

I used Ubuntu Xubuntu Lubuntu ubuntu gnome KDE Neon (2nd best distro and reliable choice ) Arch KDE (pic)

I see you've gone through most of the other DEs, what made you choose KDE other the rest?

I can customise it a lot and it looks pretty + i had problems with animations and with window action key's on other DEs
but i think that my final DE/wm is i3 (even on KDE i just use keybinds for frequently used programs and actions and krunner for everything else )

I've basically tried every major DE with varying degrees of success. In the past I've used Arch, Ubuntu and #! when that was still a thing. Now i'm back to my trusty Debian setup with Cinnamon because I've decided that i don't give a fuck about rice and rolling releases anymore.
Is void any good regarding available packages?
Tyler Rogers
damn kde actually looks quite nice
Isaac Perez
yep
Zachary Nguyen
It has slightly less base packages than Arch and it doesn't have the AUR.
Packages are trivial to make though, if you aren't afraid of building from source.
Hunter Reyes
interesting, might give it a shot

Owen Sullivan
Nothing better than Gentoo + Openbox/tint2
Do you manually upgrade your kernel to get it that recent, or is it just in Void's repos?
Caleb Ortiz
It's in the Void repo. They are pretty bleeding edge with the kernel.

Running Manjaro with KDE/Openbox right now. I highly doubt I'll switch my DE+WM combo, but I'm think of switching over to Sabayon Linux for portage.
i just dont like Gnome :( ..... big icons and limited customisation and full size menu is just meeeh

Arch + GNOME. It's productive.

Justin Perez
Arch
Xfce+Kwin
I've tried all the popular DE's and WM's but my current setup just works and customization is easy, so i don't see any reason to change.
Robert Evans
Recently went back to Gentoo after 10 years of using dozens of distributions (Arch for most the most part).
I'd probably settle on Slackware if I could make the fonts look good.

Briefly tried or used only so that I set it up and then used it for a single task: Gentoo OpenBSD (on a home server)
Used for more than that: Knoppix and some other distro whose name I don't remember anymore (these were ages ago, I just got some install/live medias from a computer magazine) Debian Ubuntu Trisquel gNewSense Fedora
DE:s: Gnome (various versions and configurations) TDE LXDE XFCE also one time I didn't use a DE but instead used awesome wm on a shitty netbook
Currently running Fedora + XFCE, why? I wanted a distro with reasonably new packages and stuff 'cause I'd been running outdated freedom distros for a while, I also wanted to see what's up with Fedora today as I liked it quite a bit in the early 2010s. XFCE because while I kinda liked the default gnome UI, it was too choppy/laggy at some points. I've legit never used modern KDE so I should maybe try it out some time
Brody Powell
Currently using XFCE because it has basic customization right out of the gate, and performs well. Have used XFCE, Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon, and KDE, ranking in that order. Though of using something different, but decided to stop caring.
Matthew Rodriguez
I currently use Plasma 5 by KDE. It's my favorite DE. I have tried many different DEs.
Gnome is also a little bit good, but with gnome you have less options and it's limited in many ways. I don't like that. It looks good yes, after the installation, but eye-candy is not everything or necessary positive. A thing most people should learn from Apple.
Also I don't use a fancy window manager like i3 og awesome. I think Kwin is really good.
I have tried KDE, XFCE, Gnome 3, Bugdie and LXDE.
CInnamon and MATE have never catched my interest.
Why do I use KDE instead of the others? > Gives you the most options (animations etc...). > Most customizable (keyboard, desktop etc...) > It's very stable at this moment > Alt-drag/Alt-resize with mouse is the best implemented in a DE. > It looks nice after customizing > The KDE applications are top-quality, I liked them, I use them. Install KDE-programs in another DE is not ideal. > The wigdets are good quality etc...
Why I use Arch instead of Ubuntu: > AUR > Pacman > Community etc...
Right now I simply use a good and secure white+gray+green color scheme. It works for me and it looks really good and minimalistic. I don't want to rice/customize 24/7 like many other 4chaners.

it doesn't really bother me this is ubuntu 17.04. It works, it's smooth, it doesn't drain my battery faster than windows does. I like it. If that means 1700 packages and 2gb of idle ram usage then so be it
Liam Powell
this isn't really riced or anything, just a new debian install. meh.
James Smith
you're using ubuntu gnome without the flavour-specific ascii? why?
