>using a community spin of an already unprofessional distro

i never really had much issue with the side bar UI in Gnome 3 for either Ubuntu-Gnome or Unity alternative

the others are shit desu and more confusing

from a logical standpoint most linux users have less need for widescreen applications than standard 4:3 so it makes a lot of sense to have the bar over there, especially since your browser already takes up either equal or 2x (if bookmark bar is visible) the amount of pixels that the bar at the bottom takes up


oh also, thank you user for making me try out Windows 10's vertical position again to see if they improved it....and they did, now the icons are actually working properly the same way Gnome handled it

unlike KDE or XFCE where if you drag the bar vertical it no longer can handled the stacked "multiple instances of this program" within 1 icon, like muliple browser windows

also the boring-info stuff like date time volume internet connection ext.. always looked like shit

What distro makes me ``professional``?

>XFCE too fast
Kek

Use window manager. It's very comfy for laptop.

Ubuntu/Debian/Redhat/Fedora/OpenSUSE. Anything else is waste of time.

How do Ubuntu/Debian/Redhat/Fedora/OpenSUSE make me ``professional``?

>Ubuntu
>Professional
Pick one

>XFCE too fast

How does Ubuntu make someone ``unprofessional``?

But Ubuntu is used in professional work environment.
Goolag is using a modified version of ubuntu.
Plus Ubuntu has special repository for devs where one can install any popular ide with one command. (Ubuntu make).

You seem like a wise and well-informed person. Can answer to ?

It doesn't. Only you can make yourself professional.
And to be professional at something means you get paid doing it.
OS actually doesn't matter, it's just what one prefers.

>KDE doesn't do dark mode well
what? Breeze Dark looks great
>XFCE too fast
SOMEBODY STOP THIS MAN

CentOS. Most professionals I know who use linux for work use CentOS

>KDE doesn't do dark mode well
What is Breeze dark or Arc

>kde doesn't do dark mode well
How so?
>Xfce too fast
Wat?

Nice rice

XFCE is great IMHO, easily the best traditional DE unless you want to go the tiling wm way.
>too fast
How is that a flaw?

>XFCE too fast

What the fuck?

It's unnatural. It doesn't feel 'right'. This is one thing that Gnome got right with their JavaScript GUI. It adds natural latency and choppiness to every action

>adds natural latency

latency and chopiness is not natural. this has to be bait.

wtf lol

rio.

Professional is both support, and stability.
All these distros are backed by companies except Debian that has a huge community

holy fuck

When you browse the web, the sites don't open instantly. If they do, you think it's a hijack or some kind of a bug. When you go to a restaurant, the food isn't ready instantly. If it is, you think it's just microwaved.
Gnome devs understand this and chose JS on top of C for Gnome Shell. It makes it easy to develope the GUI stuff with natural latency being inheret

>When you go to a restaurant, the food isn't ready instantly
current state of Sup Forums
Also microwaves are bad for your health. Just like GNOME
We need a screencap for this diamond

opening up a program doesn't compare to ordering food, cooking requires prep, cook time, and presentation. Ideally, there should be no time lost between executing a program and it opening. What people are used to doesn't make it the natural nor default state. Now, there is usually a delay between execution and opening, realistically but to actually expect/want latency is dumb.

In what way will Canonical support me? Doesn't seem to be mentioned in their end user agreement. Can you explain further?

This.
That's why on GUIs exist things like minimise animation, maximise animatio, etc.
XFCE really is too fast.

My neurons can't keep up with XFCE speeds.
Slow it down!
We should make a petition to slow down XFCE

>Ubuntu answers is the first thing you ll see when typing a problem on jewgle
That's not Canonical employees helping me, and the forum is open to anyone
>Canonical offers payed support to companies through Ubuntu One
Did you miss the ``me`` part? I am not a company
>The EULA mentions no warranty tho
I know

Xfce

Fuck this I'm moving to KDE

What's the touchscreen support like with Plasma?

I have used plasma in accer laptop and I had no problem

I use XMonad on my laptop. It's great, I can do everything from the keyboard and the system runs in less than 500mb RAM

GNOME seems to be actively acting regressively, when I first switched to Debian from Windows - the absence of a file tree in nautilus nearly convinced me to switch back.

be proud op, you made ME laugh

My only gripe with gnome is the fuckhuge window border and white backgrounds. Can you change these easily?

i3

...

Manjaro has been the best experience for me. Less crashes and bug report than Ubuntu.

this desu

It's not flashy or fun, but it gets the job done.

>KDE doesn't do dark mode well
How so?

KDE
Use breeze dark, and enjoy the extra 2 hours of battery life and reduced memory footprint
There's literally no reason to use GNOME because you can make KDE work and look like whatever the fuck you could possibly want.

The best part is that now it actually takes less time to configure KDE than it does to hunt down all the gnome extensions that you need and configure them one by one.
Also you get a proper fucking file picker

Pantheon isn't too shabby. i3wm all the way but you're probably not looking for anything like that.

>Manjaro
Use fedora if you want an easy to install bleeding edge distro
Copr is basically as good as the AUR these days, if not better because it all works under the same package manager.
Or you could just use wget

Why do people bother with latte/cairo dock when you can just use that windows 7 style task bar?

plan9 is fucking unusable

Use compton then

tiling wms are amazing on desktop monitors, but they become pretty annoying on smaller, lower res screens.
On a laptop running a tiling window manager you end up just making everything full screen and switching between desktops all the time.
t.ran i3 on a t61 as my main machine for 2 years.

KDE on the other makes a much more comfy experience, and kwin has an amazing tiling script if you need to tile some windows at that moment.

>GNOME feel more natural because it's slower
>higher framerates are unnatural
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'd tell you to go back to Sup Forums but they'd laugh at you there too.
