What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)
You're viewing a single thread.
I use gnome on my main machines, but looking to migrate to cosmic, and I use xfce on more limited devices.
I like the kde project, but I tend not to use it, because I find it a bit overwhelming, even after customizing it, it's hard to explain. I have issues with too many elements in front of me.
"Overwhelming", that's the word I was looking for to define KDE. Thank you.
agree i wanna get rid of kde but i dont wanna reinstall on my distro cachyos.
You can install more than one desktop environment at a time. Your login manager should let you pick which one you want to log into.
You can do that but it gets messy fast and it's almost impossible to uninstall a DE effectively.
Depends on your distro, I think.
yeah i think i like to try new desktops in vms more personally, but if i want 2 desktops at the same time then ok otherwise if i wanted to replace my desktop a full reinstall is better.
You can have them installed next to one another. Just like you can have Firefox and Links installed at the same time. Or twm and gnome3. It comes down to how much work you want for yourself.
I tried it before but I needed to delete the desktop specific mod I downloaded.
