I just installed Arch Linux, and I was wondering what's everyones favorite favorite desktop environment, tools, and personalization options for this amazing distribution? I'm currently using KDE4 w/ Plasma but I want to try out other options.
Arch Linux!

Been enjoying xfce so far. I'm an Arch noob though.

Try i3wm or other wm. Once you get the hang of customazing stuff you won't want to use those heavy DEs like kde or gnome anymore.
Ryan Brooks
dwm+dmenu+compton so I can look at my waifus behind vim and my terminal
Grayson Rodriguez
Where did you get those keycaps?
Jordan Flores
i3+XFCE
snappy, stable, and comfy once you sort out screen tearing and start configuring it to your liking.
Haven't been using arch for long perhaps 2 months or so now, I like it so far.
Aiden Hall
Gnome

I am using kde on desktop, although I've been away from it for a month and on a laptop, which only has i3, and I really plan to change to i3 on desktop when I get back

I'm using i3-gaps
Jose Wright

You want issue.net for before logins, and motd for after.

Terminal font is Hack
bar font is DejaVu sans mono and fontawesome for the icons
I like it and usually I remove them while programming. It's only 10px anyway
Gabriel Long
i use
>i3 + dmenu
but i had a great time with
>openbox + dmenu
and before that i had a great time using
>xfce
i can recommend all of the above.
Noah Roberts
Try j4-dmenu-desktop instead of dmenu
Cameron Young
What are the advantages
Caleb Rogers
i'm but i found this:
j4-dmenu-desktop is a replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop. It's purpose is to find .desktop files and offer you a menu to start an application using dmenu. Since r2.7 j4-dmenu-desktop doesn't require i3wm anymore and should work just fine on about any desktop environment.
You can also execute shell commands using it.

Why use a DE with a window manager?
Nicholas Adams
i3!!!
Grayson Hill
That is a nonsensical question.
Every desktop environment has a Window manager.
You can not really use a DE without a Window manager.
