View Poll Results: Which Desktop Are You Using with Slackware 13?
I have installed Slackware 13.0 on my notebook, but have yet to actually play with it, (I know shame on me), but just haven't had much time, because of school, or wifey hijacking my notebook for her own evil ends. QQ & skype.
When I do get a chance, I will have a look at KDE to see what all the fuss is about, but chances are I will probably be sticking with Fluxbox, so I will vote for that.
I will also probably experiment with GNOME (probably from slacky.eu). I don't think I will try GSB or Freerock though, and Dropline as far as I'm concerned fell out of favor with me a while back.
At this very moment -- GSB-current, as a test. There's some small things I don't got use to (yet) with KDE, but I'm trying to sort them out one by one. I'm not really a big fan of using other than Slackware's choices of DE's but right now Gnome feels both more familiar and more responsive, and compiz-fusion runs better too.
Right now I use Ion3 and fluxbox on laptop, and Ion3, fluxbox and kde4 on desktop. I would use kde more but it seems make opengl games a bit jerky, even with effects turned off. Ion3 is great with 4 tiles ona big monitor. Great for editing code and testing.
