Just looked it up. Yeah, it looks God-awful .-.

It's a desktop environment for Linux, not a distro.

Gotta go with Mint myself.

Mint mate is literally perfect on my work pc, shit has a decade old hdd but it feels like it's running on an ssd

God 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.

Well great, now I not only feel bad for her, but all the other Pokemon in the computer.

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

I happily use Manjaro with KDE now

i'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.

Fuck yall Linuxes in distros and ubarus, im usin the shrek computer

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

Why 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...

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

A FUCKING FOOT

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

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

This. 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.

Could 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.

smh gnome is fine, i'd be more worried about xorg.

So...this WASN'T a clever Chrome (knockoff name "Gnome") vs (a literal) Firefox joke?

Seriously, learn the basics to linux, life only gets easier from there.

You're telling me!

(I use XFCE, myself)

Every time someone asks me why I have a Braixen on my team I'm just going to send him this

Gnome is ok but KDE tho

its free real estate

Open suse Fight me

Sure, but what desktop?
if it's not kde I will hunt you down and forcefully install it

Gnome is good and people who don't like it have Windows Stockholm syndrome

Yep, this is definitely the type of post that would have a ton of people arguing in the comments.

Never before have I read some much information and come away with nothing for my trouble.

The 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.

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