Why is there no good linux desktop environment in 2024?> gnome is shit> kde is laggy> rest look like windows 95
>>101584067>>> rest look like windows 95yeah, that's a good thing
>>101584075Windows 95 looks like shit.

>>101584083It's clean, professional, unobtrusive, classic, simple. UX people hate it because it highlights that their latest meme ideas are stupid. Developers hate it because if something is finished, then they have nothing to tinker with. Neither of them can show off the pointless annoying crap they like to make, things like transparency and animations. Moreover, both of them need to annoy users and create churn if they're to remain employed. They hate the idea of something like the Windows Classic UI that just werks and doesn't need constant changes and updates. This is, of course, why this is the superior UI, compared to GNOME, KDE, Mac, nu-Windows, etc etc.
>>101584067there are no good desktop environments for other systems as well
because none of them are professionally developed by a team of professionals
why should a server os have a good selection of des?
>>101584067Windows 95 was great
I'm just going with away for security
>>101584067make your ownor try cosmiccontribute to cosmicyou can (really) help
Because they're all hobbyist projects made by amateurs. A server OS has no need for a polished GUI.In other words; you get what you pay for.
>>101584299>pay nothing>get a superior UII always thought there was no such thing as a free lunch, but I guess there is
>>101584067I just use i3.
>>101584137It looks like shit though.
>>101584067>caring about muh looksyou sound like a womanalso, windows 95 had a great ui, as did windows 2000. it all went to shit with windows 8
>>101584154Windows 11 is very good.
>>101584379It looks better than any of today's trendy UIs, precisely because it lacks the things that make modern UIs suck so much.

>>101584424Does XFECES even have scaling yet
>>101584424Case in point.>>101584412Show any regular person who hasn't been feeding OSS propaganda for years your shitty linux DE and windows 11, and they will prefer windows every time, since it's the objectively more aesthetic DE and because their taste is not overriden by their hate for windows.
>>101584471>show a windows babyduck windows and they will prefer windows every time because windows is what they know
>>101584543>muh babyduckseveryone accepts your concession
>>101584471do you know how many people saw Windows 8 and then Windows 10 and said "eew, fuck no"? Most of them, because I had to help a lot of them avoid forced W10 upgrades and switched a few to Linux, where an old-style DE (I used Xfce) was a big selling point for them. Nobody likes Windows 11's UI. People just put up with it because they think they have to. The same could be said of the OS as a whole.
>>101584578I like windows 11 UI. What's there not to like?
>>101584075fpbp
>>101584067Openbox doesnt look like windows 95neither does bspwm or i3
>>101585342It does though
>>101584578I havent used windows for over a decade now. Is it not possible to replace the shell on windows 11like you could with other versions of windows. I think I remember a shell replacement called AstonAlso BB4Win (Blackbox for windows)
>>101585391What the actual fuck am I looking at?
>>101585391forgot to say there were a couple of other shell replacements as well but I forgot their names
>>101585423this is so cool
>>101585423Oh I remember a shell replacement called windowblinds, apparently it works on win 11

>>101584067>install wm>configure it to your likingits that simple
>>101584085dwm is a wm not a de>>101584367so is i3>>101585378so is openbox>>101584394win 11 is an os not a de>>101585510op is a babby wants mr jeet to do it instead, pls andastand
>>101584067>kde is laggyWhat's your hardware? I don't have this issue.
>>101584067it's simple, GNOME and KDE people hate desktop users. You cannot seriously explain it otherwise.Also wayland fractured everything to hell and set everything back for at least another decade. Soon it'll be gnome or nothing and tbf I'd rather use nothing.
>>101584067>kde is laggyI feel ya OP, but if you're not using it on a raspberry pi it's pretty goodLXQT is my goto in your situation
Gnome has unironically the best UX I've ever seen on a computer de, it's a real fucking shame the people behind it and how they're somehow devolving the fucking de and still have the hubris to ban you for pointing out their bullshit.I don't see the gnone foundation existing in the next 5 years at this pace, especially looking at this past two weeks happenings.
How is Cinnamon like Windows 95?
>>101585970>Gnome has unironically the best UX I've ever seen on a computer deI've given Gnome many chances and I still do not see how it can be a good UX let alone the best. What are non-Gnome users missing?
>>101584558I don't
>>101584379that is the point, you viscerally look away from disgust at the window "decorations" and rice and focus on the task instead. multi-tasking is also ADHD and all the tiling shit is a stupid meme for people who need to edit 4 different config files to move their programs around
