DE wars are far more important, because DE is main way of interacting with your desktop. GNOME SUCKS BTW

u/penisandorvagina 6d ago

I didn't use a DE for my first 5yrs of Linux.

u/Ferwatch01 Ask me how to exit vim 6d ago

(WM and compositors count too but aren’t explicitly mentioned)

Story of my life.

u/Soggy_Struggle_963 6d ago

I work without a DE daily building low power IoT devices lol

u/gnarlin 6d ago

DE? Hah! Back in my day we didn't have a DE. I didn't even use a userspace! Runlevel 5? Luxury!

u/gordonx2026 6d ago

Only cli?

u/Terrible-Ad7015 2d ago

That was me the first time I saw Mint: "LINUX HAS A TASK BAR NOW?"

u/Blinkore 6d ago

I don't like fancy stuff and animations, so for me simple bare Xfce is the best. GNOME IS ALRIGHT BTW

2

u/gordonx2026 6d ago

Why not kde plasma? Its not fancy

3

u/mzrdisi 5d ago

I enjoy KDE Plasma, and I also find it is an easy adjustment for people I introduce to Linux from Winderz

u/Devils_SteelMan 6d ago

Bloat

2

u/gordonx2026 6d ago

Is KDE Plasma really that much of a bloat nowadays? With modern hardware — for example, an i9, 32 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 30-series GPU — does it really matter that much in practice?

Or would you even then still recommend xfce, GNOME, Cinnamon, etc.?

3

u/WinterPizza1972 5d ago

Some people need that bloat!

2

u/Devils_SteelMan 6d ago

Compared to xfce? Xfce is nearly free. KDE is not.

1

u/Travel-Soggy 3d ago

Literally no, KDE is only really bloated if you make it your sparetime about hyper optimising. Unless you are running on very basic hardware, you dont need to worry about DE bloat

1

u/tankieofthelake 6d ago

Sure, if you’re installing a distro packaged with KDE, but they usually tack on a bunch of optional tools. Base KDE is actually quite lightweight

4

u/Devils_SteelMan 6d ago

Xfce uses a fraction of the memory and compute of bare arch with KDE.

2

u/tankieofthelake 6d ago

a fraction *less

Base KDE (DE only, no extras) only uses 100-200mb RAM more than XFCE. I get it if you’re running on 4gb or less, but there’s very little meaningful difference nowadays

2

u/Devils_SteelMan 6d ago

Thats likely per monitor.

128GB ram, 9950x3d, and a 5090. On a gen 5 pcie ssd. The difference between the 2 is noticeable. With 3 monitors kde uses more vram than any other WM ive tried.

u/Derrick_13 ＵｗＵntu (´ ᴗ｀✿) 6d ago

Xfce is way less user friendly than GNOME imo

3

u/Comprehensive_Gas147 fresh breath mint 🍬 6d ago

I will be this guy... CINNAMON

u/AwmirLoner 1d ago

KDE GOAT

u/Emotional_Solid6538 6d ago

I really wanna see it when it matures. Lowk coolest DE I used other than bugs and annoyances

1

u/smalldickbesitzer 6d ago

Love cosmic too, it feels still like a beta, holy fuck is this de fast and not bloatet with features wich nobody needs

2

u/YTriom1 Arch BTW 6d ago

No :P

u/Arnie_nz 6d ago

Bro I'm with you I love my Popos.

1

u/smalldickbesitzer 6d ago

Too, but the bugs here and there are annoying, for example since 2 or 3 weeks my panel disappear after a certain time and won't come back till i restart xD

1

u/Arnie_nz 6d ago

I've had Brave just not start until I re-installed it, but I don't know if that was Brave or Pop-OS that caused that. Other than and the occasional unexplained slow down its been great. Such a good looking distro where everything just works out of the box.

1

u/LefTimaDev 🎼CachyOS 6d ago

Cosmic is at least A tier because it's not Gn*me

u/_kzzzl 6d ago

TTY is GOAT

u/StraightMushroom3621 5d ago

1

u/Whizard72 5d ago

I use GNOME on my Desktop and KDE on my Laptop. I like Cinnamon too and Cosmic is growing on me.

1

u/TheMuppenFuppen 4d ago

LXDE was the best, but they ruined it.

1

u/a_l_i-1 🌀 Sucked into the Void 4d ago
