Which desktop environment do you use?
Just wondering, which desktop environment do you all use? Personally I like KDE because it looks good and has a good foundation. How about you?
|
I use KDE too because it's the default desktop in Slax. ;)
|
I'm sure there have been several polls like this, so a search may give you more stats.
|
GNOME is The One True Linux Desktop Environment ;)
|
|
I use Fluxbox because I know a lot of it's ins-and-outs and it's easier than learning the same about another window manager.
|
I like fluxbox as I tend to use both gtk2 gnome and kde apps and I find it makes for a more consistent and simple desktop. The one feature that I like the most about fluxbox is enabling the mouse scroll wheel to swtich between workspaces. VERY handy and fast!
I have to say that both the Gnome and Kde desktops are brilliant and its amazing that they are freely distributable. Of the two I prefer Gnome as its more MacOS like. |
fluxbox.
just installed it on my LFS system and i simply love it. its light-weight and there's so much to learn and to make it asthetically more apealing and functionally more accurate. its more of a learning experience with fluxbox. before that i used kde. i am a big fan of that too. personally i dont like gnome... simply because it looks so much like windows (and finding things were a bit frustrating there)... may be i am wrong.... thats only my view. no hard feelings gnome fans.. ;) |
Kde's taskbar and 'cough' start menu 'cough' are more windows like imo!
I remember using an earlier version of Gnome where the top corners of the display were rounded off exactly as MacOS does. |
i will go with rat-poison ...
plane ol xinit+ratpoison rocks |
FVWM2. Still the best!
|
I usually use Enlightenment, but since it isn't on your list, I voted my secondary, fluxbox.
|
GNOME!!! First environment I used, went through KDE and fluxbox shortly, but I feel most comfy with Gnome. But KDE apps are also nice, which is why I prefer to have Gnome and KDE on the same system.

Blackbox!
From the start I haven't really liked KDE so I used gnome but since February'ish I have been using blackbox |
