What's the least retarded DE?(PS: Anyone who says guh-nome will be shot)
>>109256077TTY.
cinnamon
>>109256077EXWM because if Emacs crashes everything goes down with it, which saves time because you don’t have a good reason to use a computer outside of Emacs anyway.
>>109256077QT-based desktops (Plasma or lxqt)Ideally Plasma for a modern PC because it has good wayland support, but lxqt is great for lightweight systems.

hard mode: What's the least retarded DE with Wayland support?
>>109256077>What's the least retarded DE?noctalia or DMS + your favorite compositor
not de but i use sway it's super comfy
>>109256077cosmic
>>109256434>cosmic
>>109256077>(PS: Anyone who says guh-nome will be shot)Why do you even ask, if you rule out literally the best option? It's GNOME, KDE Plasma is okay-ish. Avoid the rest and wait till COSMIC is stable.

>>109256077KDE and GNOME are the only ones with decent filepickers out of the box, and GNOME is retarded, so KDE kind of wins by default. They're also the only desktops with decent Wayland support, which is an absolute must for multi-monitor setups. >>109256234That said, this is honestly a pretty compelling option these days. Standalone Wayland window managers like niri and shells like DMS/noctalia are getting quite impressive.

>>109256077LXQt
>>109256101>lxqtWhats the use case when plasma is just straight up better? What does lxqt do better than plasma? Or what lxqt do better than plasma?
>>109257022>Or what lxqt do better than plasma?I meant to ask what does lxqt do that plasma doesnt. Instead of asking the same thing twice
>>109257022>>109257032>what does lxqt do that plasma doesn'tit doesn't rely on javascript and end up using tonnes of ram.Both gnome and plasma do that sadly, they're not better than windows 11's reactjs nonesense.
>>109256077Jenome
plasma but only because you don't have a choice, it's the least bad option. everything has a flaw you can't ignore.
>>109256592>cosmiccosmic
>>109257022it has the benefit of not using the bloated corpse that is plasmashell
>>109256077Gnome. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can be at peace. Yes the devs are retarded sometimes (often), but Gnome has by far the best workflow. The only other alternative is constructing your own using window managers + misc parts. X11 WM / Wayland Compositor + Quickshell is a pretty good solution nowadays.
>>109256115I still think the root cause is due to it being written in c++ which is not designed to make GUIs
>>109256077use case for a de?
>>109257551i hate that this is the right answer but yeah pretty much
>>109256077Kde just werks
>>109256077KDE, except it crashes sometimesIt's easy if you configure the correct keybindsI was used to hyprland, so I borrowed the keybinds from there
>>109257022I literally said it in my message if you look closely enough. Plasma is a heavy feature-complete desktop, and lxqt is a minimal one that doesn't use much memory. Their only real similarity is that they both use QT.lxqt is to Plasma what lxde is to Gnome
your favorite flavor of wm and download whatever software you need. DEs are for legitimate retards.
>>109258083Explain in 15 words or less why, after installing a new OS, I should proceed to spend 12 hours tinkering with openbox from 2002 or whatever instead of just selecting "Plasma" or "Xfce"
>>109256077xfce or kde. both popular, have simple settings menus and quite usable by default and are very extendable if needed, it all depends on your needs, if you want many monitors then probably kde due to wayland, if you want lightweight then xfce, if you want to play your vidya then probably kde wins from what i've heard. Personally i use KDE and it's completely stable somehow even if i'm on a rolling distro.
>>109256077i3DEs are for women and children. Time to ascend anon.
>>109256077All GUIs on Linux are fucking retarded.Linux stinks because of that.
>>109256434I also use cosmic but you cant act like its not unfinished lol
Whatever the MacOS desktop env is called.

>>109258106>spend 12 hoursyou speak like a fag and your shit's all retarded. stay on windows.
>>109256077Plasma or Lxqt
