>1366x768
why are you poor?

Because I don't use linux on a desktop, only a laptop and using a dock like that to launch programs is horrible because touchpads that aren't on macbooks suck.
So I use xfce with a launcher program that lets me hit a keybind and type in letters until the program pops up then hit enter to launch.
I would use gnome on a desktop.
Cute maki pape

>So I use xfce with a launcher program that lets me hit a keybind and type in letters until the program pops up then hit enter to launch

You know pretty much every modern DE including gnome does the exact same thing right?

No clearly I don't?

Why do you have an anime wallpaper? Isn't that embarrassing?

>Alt+Tab
>despite me having 5 different terminal/chrome/whatever windows open, it only shows ONE (1) instance

who the fuck thought this was a good idea
I cannot fathom the thought process that went into TAKING EFFORT to completely trash a perfectly fine part of the UX of Gnome 2. I literally cannot. Whoever designed and approved this must suffer from severe brain damage.

>Not using i3

I use 1366x768 on my tp since all it does is word processing, graphs and some light web use. no reason for anything more.

install the alternatetab gnome shell extension for the old alt+tab style you described

if a simple ui & keybindings for everything were efficient and classy,
apple would release a stolen version.
i3 is straight to the trash for me my friend

I know that. I still don't understand why someone put effort into making this feature worse in every conceivable way.

Apple does this too btw and there isn't a simple way to fix it, only third party programs that may or may not break with every update.

They're trying to hard to reinvent the desktop and fail at it completely. Every time I try gnome it feels like the gnome devs are purposefully trying to fuck up my workflow.

There is only 1 (one) feature I liked which was pic related.

Also file picker thumbnails meme.

Because Apple wants you to use Mission Control and Gnome copied that.
Because Apple assumes normies are too stupid to know what names or icons belong to which programs, or to remember at which place you used which program so you know you have to alt/command-tab back X times.
Instead they show you this giant fullscreen overview that lets you select previews of images so normies can see "aaaahhhhh there is my facebook" and click on it.

It's a design for retards. Literal retards.

it's cute n*rd

I am though.

Because KDE has every feature GNOME has and more.

See: KDE Connect

Why would an anime wallpaper be embarassing?
It's just a cute drawing. I'm a 24 year old man in my first year of community college and i wear my pokemon(anime!) tshirt each once a week and usually have an anime wallpaper on my laptop.

I like experimenting, but imo text is still the best. GNOME is comfy tho

Because Mutter is a piece of shit low-performing compositor.

it really isn't unless its some shit like SAO. I still play Pokemon on occasion and the old games on emus. I wish I had anime shirts though.

wow user, this setup is sexy as hell

>24
>first year

community college you baka

Literally every other person at my university runs around with borderline pedophile anime wallpapers and nobody gives a shit.

I see you're running gnome....

>everything is dumbed down (ie nautilus)
>looks pretty but dysfunctional
>other DE are better and has more features (ie MATE and KDE)

Because I'm using StumpWM, which is superior in every way.

Nice Maki pape user.
Maki A CUTE

well im transferring to a 4 year university when im done with this coming year.
hopefully stony brook their comp sci program is good.
I could trigger this whole board with the only programming teacher at the community college. Fat, sexist, female, 4 foot 5, SJW incompetent.
Not everyone goes to college right after highschool. No reason to work until you absolutely have to.

>There is only 1 (one) feature I liked which was pic related.
Cinnamon has it.

Cinnamon >>> GNOME.

I do.

What icon pack is that? looks nice

Why did you buy such a low res display/laptop?
I really like your theme, icons, colors, etc. It's pleasing to look at.

What the fuck is mission control? I use a mac and I select hidden windows by right clicking the dock icons.

how do I make my gnome like this

The most recent window in each program comes up and you click the one you want to tab to

how

because it's a depreciated shit DE for people who like swallowing gorilla cocks

My Mac broke when they were still on Snow Leopard so I'm not sure but I think you just hit super along with alt or something.

because you should use alt + ` to switch between windows of the same app

La Capitaine

Just press Alt+F2 on xfce to get to its launcher.

Extremely bloated while providing no features.

Dash to Panel, Dynamic Panel Transparency, Numix icons, Adapta theme.

because KDE is a thing

hey OP, can you take a screenfetch? :D

It's the DE equivalent of a polished turd.

>not using sway
too heavy. even plasma is lighter

What is the advantage of making one universal keyboard shortcut that worked perfectly fine into two shortcuts that interfere with your workflow

>2017
>being starved for resources

uhh get a job?

cause it's ugly

Why is 1366x768 considered bad? I have no idea what the deal is with it.

it is not bad
it's just worse than anything bigger

Me too. Gnome is great.

It isn't KDE or LXDE.

Because I like being able to play video games.

>mentioning video games on Sup Forums
oh boy, here we go

Because I got my hands on 10 enterprise and jumped on LTSB like a teenage dirtbag onto the back of a bull.

but i am

why are you even putting the effort to press two (imho very uncomfortable keys) instead of just pressing super for the overview?
or you could use alt and F6

>There is only 1 (one) feature I liked which was pic related.
i don't understand

did you notice gdm uses 250megs which is about what gnome desktop uses?

>gnomecucks

But I am.

>inb4 resolutionists :^)

I am.

so user i think this is how it works
>press alt+tab
>press tab until you get to the program you want that has multiple instances
>wait for a second while still pressing alt
>a new window pops up below
>you are still pressing alt
>now press ` instead of tab to select one of the instances of that program
hope this helps but i don't see why not use the overview instead, you might just use any other wm/de in this case unless you want wayland

Why distro aren't all fully compatible ?
Why there are so many standards ?
Why even making new distros ? Sharing that fucking 2% of market share ?

...

Because old habits die hard.

Fix your font rendering my dude.

...

i am tho

I do use gnome on my Jetson TK1.

>SystemD dependencies

I'm not going to use SystemD to use a tablet DE

...

It's laggy compared to Mate.

>why aren't you using gnome?
Because I have no reason to.

>@
why are you here?

i have a question
how is this supposed to work?
it's off now but i thought i could execute commands from the search in overview

Because XFCE or bust, dummy.

How the fuck is this an improvement over
>alt+tab+tab+tab+tab
>oh there is my window, done

i sort of am, for the vm i use to make websites

dash to panel and pixel-saver extensions should be a default

I want her hands around my penis

>mocking people for following KISS principle
You're better off be using windows, kiddo

so this is a desktop thread

mind sharing that sick pape?

Windows key on GNOME does that by default.

Because old habits die hard.

good choice on skin

this desu

...

I have yet to see someone react negatively to an anime wallpaper. Normally its quite the opposite, you might even meet more people.

>Oh, nice Tokyo Ghoul wallpaper you got there, are you reading the manga?

These things happen.

What features does MATE have that GNOME doesn't? Genuine question; every time I try it feels lacking in comparison

you can have your compact unify titterbar with pixel saver extension

Floating wms are outdated.

Tiling is the future.

Friendly reminder: anime a shit

you do realize that you are on Sup Forums, right?

>using someones elses desktop environment

Linux is for nerds
