Why don't you use MATE desktop with Debian 13?>simple, LTS distro, never worry about updates for years>simple, dependable, traditional customizable desktop that doesn't change unless you change it, it's very customizable.
hilarious how people judge the operating system by the desktop screenshot instead of the actually important things like package management, drivers, stability. the GUI is the least important thing in an OS and all I see in this discussions is shit like where the application menu is lmao
yeah but does it clicky like grug likegrug no want learn new way
>>106789181This, but Devuan or LMDE.Debian is full of wokie defenders of registered sex offenders.
I'm already comfortable with a nice LTS distro called RHEL 9.>>106789208Yeah. I don't get people's obsession with DEs either.
>>106789181It will be running on my server once I updoot from 12. There's no need for a desktop environment. That's what Windows 10 LTSC is for.
>>106789181Mate is good, Debian is a communist woke shitfest
>posts a desktop screenshot>no terminal window visibleIt's like you don't know the first thing about linux.
>>106789181>gtk3that's why, I'll stick with lxde
>>106789181also arch is better
>>106789208>package managementgay>driversglowing>stabilitykek
>>106789208>the GUI is the least important thing in an OS>the thing that you interact with every single day is unimportant
>>106794162it just needs to not be shite.g. look at cwm for openbsd or this plan9 abomination. anything LXDE lvl is fine
>>106792628holy shit I thought the "indian with a thinkpad running LXDE" posting was just a schizo. holy shit.
>>106794426>every person who uses lxde is indianseek help
>>106794433>implying
I just use awesomewm because I've been using it for like a decade now and can program it with lua.
>>106794441>bringing up indians in the first place
>he genuinely felt called out and keeps replying
>>106789181I'm thinking of switching over to mate because xfce has been pissing me off. Is it any better or is it a buggy mess?
>>106794482its basically just a fork of gnome 2, now in gtk2
>>106794162You can install any DE on any distro retard. Distro choice is more about package management, release cycle, some default settings, and how woke the maintainers are.
>>106794490Gtk3*
XFCE is lighter weight and its more feature rich.Generally XFCE is pretty stable as a desktop
>>106789181kept having random issues with debian, arch always just works. no clue why its considered less stable
>>106789208>>106789376While those are important, if i can't make my DE look like either windows vista or 95, i'm not fucking using it.
>>106794594As the anon above said, you can install pretty much any DE on pretty much any distro. So you can if you want to have a Windows 95 style desktop, you can install Chicago95 on Xfce on EPEL on RHEL, or get the Xfce Alma ISO.
