I’ve never used it.
What makes you like it?
It's like old school Gnome. I can theme it like my work Mac, but have the flexibility of running Ubuntu on my desktop and laptop.
MATE is modeled after when Gnome was good, so I'd say that's not weird at all.
Yeah, I just wish it had a better task switcher like expose / mission control for OSX.
<3 Cinnamon too
Cinnamon is like classic Gnome but modernized and better. Out of the box, it's more usable than Gnome 3 even with a lot of extensions.
AwesomeWM! (On top of xfce 😁)
No love for labwc?
Supports x11+wayland or just wayland and can even run natively on Vulkan, is extremely quick to start and to operate
Well as the project README says
Labwc is a wlroots-based window-stacking compositor for wayland, inspired by openbox.
So it's not quite a DE.But it looks interesting. While I myself don't use Wayland, I'm all for new WM/Wayland compositors. If it's as nice as Openbox, then I hope it does well.
This one is so accurate its actually a DE as attractive as this chick
VIM is my DE of choice.
Emacs vs VIM: https://www.vibe.com/lifestyle/fashion/lizzo-questions-return-victorias-secret-fashion-show-1234740198/
So... Emacs is about inclusivity because VIM users used to fat-shame it?
Did you link the wrong article?
you almost got it, no past tense about shaming EMACS for being fat + bloated :)
