@lnxw48a1 I installed KDE-desktop today and tried to use it. There's something about it that makes me feel uneasy, so I switched back to . But I could see why you disliked apps; they look terrible in . πŸ˜‚

@zacts @lnxw48a1 I'm a bit surprised that you guys don't use something nerdier, like i3

@bthall @lnxw48a1 I <3 i3wm. I just deleted all of my configs recently, and so I switched to KDE.

@bthall @lnxw48a1 I like KDE though. It's fairly Ok for a desktop.

@bthall @zacts I want my desktop to (1) work consistently and without much hassle, (2) work the way I like, (3) allow me to customize if desired, and (4) other than that, stay out of my way. I used to cycle between kde and blackbox, fluxbox, icewm; then it was kde and xfce, lxde. But kde is there about 80% of the time.

@lnxw48a1 @bthall 80% is pretty accurate too. KDE isn't perfect, but it's there more often than not.

@bthall @lnxw48a1 @zacts I'm pretty sure I've used i3 for longer than I used any other window manager in the 22 years I've been using X11. Prior to that I'm pretty sure the winner was fvwm.
