MemberGod no all DEs are all equally bad. Gotta go suckless; I run Gentoo+dwm+st for that M I N I M A L I S M. Rearranging windows with one or two keystrokes is wonderful.

MemberI remember using Ubuntu when Gnome was at 2.x. It was so slow. Using a standalone window manager is so much faster and smoother.

Memberi've been thinking on trying mint these past 2 days. if windows 11 ends up being as shitty as it seems to be then im migrating to linux and mint looks like a good option for someone like me with next to no knowledge of linux.

MemberWhy would I put my Braixen in the computer anyway? I prefer mine at my side at all times.

MemberWhy would you put best pokewaifu in the computer thingie? How would she snuggle and cuddle you by the campefire on those long cold winter nights if she became nothing more than bits of data?
This is cruel, Shouts, real cruel...

MemberIt's current year and people still aren't using Cinnamon as their de-facto DE?
Edit: KDE's really cool, actually. Nevermind.

MemberMaybe we've all been getting it wrong, maybe it's not the version of Linux, maybe the computer uses Gnomesort algorithms.

MemberGotta say, the few times I was forced to use Linux in school sucked. Thank god I don't need to use it ever again.

MemberThis. I semi-recently started switching off of Windows and I've been loving Mint! I'd use Linux exclusively if it weren't for a few games. I use Cinnamon, not Mate, but it still runs 10,000,000x better than Windows on any machine, and all my hardware just worked out of the gate, not driver installation needed.
I'm impressed you haven't started switching already. I was forced to "upgrade" from Windows 7 years ago, and I honestly tried to clear my mind and use it anyway. It's been actual years, and I still just hate 10. I've had this computer since 2018. Best luck to you.

MemberCould be worse, like depending on nvidia drivers to get your KDE Plasma running smoothly
For something really small and blazing fast (perfect for older computers), go with SliTaz.

MemberThe problem with GNOME is that the people making it think that 1) within 5 years (of whatever the current date happens to be) all mouse input will be done with a touchscreen and 2) things like maximize and minimize buttons are needless distractions. It's a bold move to be sure for one of the two most bloated Linux DEs in existence to be preaching minimialism but who am I to judge?
Anyway, KDE forever. Also Compiz is awesome and I wish it wasn't so buggy.

MemberThe real question is if she's stuck in an Xorg or Wayland session.
