Linux DEs

KDE - too unstable
XFCE - unfixable screen tearing, no thumbnails
GNOME - shit.

Why all DEs are shit now? With that shit I guess I will switch soon to IceWM, OpenBox, or i3...

Linux = GNU/Linux.

incorrect
why even use a DE? just use a wm and any programs of your choice

>KDE - too unstable
What version did you try?

>incorrect
Fuck off, Richard, nobody cares about it.

Any pics of what screen tearing looks like?

5.11 I guess...
>just use a wm and any programs of your choice
Which WM doen't do tearing meme?

DIS

>XFCE - unfixable screen tearing, no thumbnails

what is compton?

>nvidia
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
run on startup
now beat it

another shit havent been updated since 2016

I have Intel shitgraphics
Compton doesn't work, screen still tears, but tearing is less significant... And it crashed 1 time already, so fuck this, stable tearing >> unstable tearing

LXQT is pretty good.

Did you try the synchronize drawing the vertical blank option?

youtube.com/watch?v=9hIRq5HTh5s

what does this look like using xfce?

MATE and Cinnamon are bretty good.

what is the reason you call KDE "too unstable"
I've been using kde for 2 years now since I fed up with gnome and this "kde is unstable" meme is yet to be seen

>KDE - too unstable
Nice meme.

>why even use a DE? just use a wm and any programs of your choice
Because I prefer a DE.

>use a wm
never heard of wayland?

They are working on 4.14

XFCE have a different release schedule

>XFCE - unfixable screen tearing, no thumbnails
fake has fuck, the tearing can be fixable and there is thumbnails

Got rid of tearing in xfce with just one click on that vertical scaling setting or how it's called.

XFCE has tearing and no thumbnails? Wut? What XFCE even has to do with thumbnails? Also no tearing for me.

i don't get why you people hate gnome so much. it looks good, is fast and intuitive especially on laptops.

>hrr drr werkz on my maschine

What is sway..?

How the fuck did you get xfce to tear on Intel graphics?
Is that your screenshot in the op?
Literally all you had to do was tick that box on that screen that says "synchronise drawing to vertical blank"

Tearing in Xfce can be fixed.
Try Mint Cinnamon. It's WM don't has this issue.

It doesn't tear. You have faulty hardware if Compton crashed on you.

>try cinnamon
Read OP
>gnome = shit

tearfree in xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

/thread

I've been using cinnamon for about a year now and it is very comfy. I don't do any ricing though.

> Which WM doen't do tearing meme?
With a wm you don't have to move the windows, so is not a problem

This

I used Gnome for some time now, it is after a little bit config stuff pretty nice,
but i think i will move to Mate, way more userfriendly at least for me, fairly simmilar to configure and less ressource heavy...
Debian 9 with Gnome ~900MB and with Mate ~350MB i know bloated af, but it werks

In general i would say use what ever you are most comfy with, they all get the job done after configuration

Aaand xserver won't start at all.

>KDE - too unstable

Who told you this user?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

d-dwm

never heard of Nvidia?

Fake news.

>unfixable
Configure your video driver

No, really it doen't start after that...
Maybe I should install some extra shit?

>intuitive
wtf

Maybe you should get a PC that isn't a potato.

Never happened to me. I dunno, sorryn try reading the logs.

Maybe you fucked up? Did you make a file named 20-intel.conf at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d?

>Which WM doen't do tearing meme?
I use i3 (without Compton) with Intel graphics and don't have any tearing.

Yes, I am not that retarded.
When I remove 'Driver' line, everything boots... So I guess Intel HD have shitty drivers....

>kde
>unstable

You fix the tearing by FIXING YOUR FUCKING DRIVER.

>KDE
>Unstable
At least have a proper complaint, like the mascot is blatant furbait.

GNOME - shit.

Nice argument.

This user speaks the truth. I never had to deal with anything tearing ever since the free radeon driver got documentation and development support from ati/amd. It probably is because I'm only using kwin, though. Can't beat a competently written compositor, I guess.

>screen tearing

Uninstall the fucking Intel driver and use modesetting fallback. BOOM your system is now much better.

There is very little reason to use the Intel video driver in 2018.

wow you look so hacker boy

>KDE
Fairly stable
>Xfce
Screen tearing is actually easy to fix
>Gnome
Some people like it, others don't. You can't customize it as much as the rest therefore you shouldn't use it if you don't like it.

No thumbnail filepicker.

...

Turning on "sync to vertical blank" didn't fix tearing in xfce for me, it only made it so I only had a single tear line that was always present in the shape of pic related, although I did not reboot or re-log after turning it on. I installed compton and that fixed it (mostly, I had no tearing when I moved windows or watched youtube, but I had tearing on some random porn sites in incognito mode).
If you go for i3, you will still need compton to get rid of the tearing.

Windows - Just works :)

What video card?

OK, why KDE doesn't suffer suffer from tearing, but GTK based shit (LXDE, XFCE, Gnome) does suffer?

Is KWin is magic?

try Mate

Install Lumina.

Intel integrated and NVIDIA dedicated with the nouveau driver (laptop).

Im partial to moksha myself
github.com/JeffHoogland/moksha
which distros package this, or make it easy to compile like arch/gentoo?

Yeah, let's say KWin is decent.

Same as if you used a different compositor in those you just named. Compiz, Compton, etc.

That I know of, PCLOS and Sparky.

katie a kutie

But compiz and compton didn't worked for me...
Very strange.
/etc/X11 were identical...

Is Arch with KDE the best KDE experience?

I liked LXDE for a while just for being nice and slim, but it's pretty deprecated and any issue you have with it is basically impossible to solve now. I was going to make a thread like this once and try and figure out what to switch to next, but then I realized I'd just waste two hours customizing it and switching again when I got tired of some minor flaw. So now I just run OpenBox as a standalone WM, no more DEs, they will only let you down.

use xfce

Debian with kde is the comfiest

She definitely is.
KDE scaleshitposting thread when?

Start one, fagget.

>DeadIan

KDE is my favorite

How's XenoDM?

*sid

Running arch + bspwm without the intel driver or compton.

What is screen tearing?

XFCE and LXDE suffer from tearing, and I found no fixes for Potato Graphics 5000.
Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf doesn't help.
And different compositors (compiz, compton..) didn't worked either.

I like XFCE more that KDE, but those glitches. Eew.. XFCE is like 200 mb or ram... But KDE is 500 mb, due to memory leaks...
Maybe I should run KWin on XFCE?

what the fuck are you trying to say? are you retarded?

Uninstall xf86-video-intel and reboot your computer.

It wasn't installed, I had to install it... And it didn't helped.
But on KDE everything just works.

It really is. Plasma is not falling now, it is just glitching...
But KWin is a win. Maybe I should use it instead xfce wm

>thumbnails
How? I call bullshit.

Not all wm are tiling, and what if you're watching a video or something?

M A T E

What do you guys think of Jade DE ?

it's not possible without using compiz, and when you do it looks like shit anyway.

>tearing
on a screen recording

i wans't using compiz, what the hell

>fullscreen repaints
fixes the issue in KDE

Yes

fuck it looks like shit

Is this the new desktop thread?
KDE is objectively the best. No contest.

KDE.

Read the arch wiki.

They tell you what to do.
