Can somebody re-sort this from most heavy to most light DE?

#GNOME
#Cinnamon
#Xfce
#LXDE
#MATE
#KDE
#Unity

#linux #ubuntu #desktop #environment

necrxfagivs,

@funkybuddha @berkough I'm not sure if is the lightest in your list, but is really lightweight and you can get to a decent customization level. This rice looks clean af https://old.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/13k5p5o/xfce_my_xfce_points/

@berkough @necrxfagivs thanks guys! Based on your feedback this is what I’m thinking (heavy to light):

#Gnome
#KDE
#Unity
#Cinnamon
#XFCE
#MATE
#lxde #lxqt

Would that look about right?

As much as I like and , it's baffling to me that its features is terrible. Built-in screen readers cannot read and website text well, and its default is so bad its voice is terrible (enough that those how have both vision and auditory issues may give up), and accessibility features are still lacking, no accessibility features for colorblind people as if they don't even exist, CLI and most of its defaults aren't friendly for those with disabilities,...

And before saying that FOSS softwares usually lack accessibility features due to their natures of voluntary and community-funded softwares, sorry, you can't excuse or rationalize that a software is bad, it's just bad. How can some people who can have patience to fix their own softwares that other has done before them cannot be as enthuiastic to improve Linux and accessibility???

Neat. People(61 of 'em!) are actually starting to use the Lemmy instance I set up as a potential reddit alternative.

Are there any good GTK3 or 4 alternatives to Double Commander?

Part of me wants to install EndeavourOS again but I never use for anything other than surfing the net and take screenshots to show off my good looking Linux desktop.

...And as I have stated many times I will always dual boot because my only real hobby is gamimg and the 10% of games I play the most are also the games that don't work on Linux.

He modificado un poco para mostrar favicons y algun estilo que encaja mejor con el resto del tema. Me gusta que consume mucho menos que otros y con la integracion con no echo nada en falta.

Tambien me he pasado de a , y del resto casi todo igual.

Principalmente uso , y browser, asi que poco más que mostrar hoy.

I would love fractional scaling, done the right way.

Xorg just changes resolution, with the obvious annoying blurriness.

Not great for GPU/CPU.

Just changing the DPI isn't enough.

Some say Wayland can be better at this. That would be a good reason to explore it, along with a conservative approach to new GTK versions.

GTK3 transition went great but I don't know about GTK4 or even 5. They seem a bit trickier than 3.

@jbzfn@mastodon.social avatar

"Additionally, it’s unclear at the moment if Xfce will transition to GTK4 or not. GTK4 has been around for two years now and GTK5 is on the road, so the team needs to act quickly if they plan to transition, or they will have to skip a GTK version."

_ka_,

@jbzfn @fosspost Why should keep hurry to port on GTK4/5? Currently, it's better to support Wayland and the next step can be to switch to GTK4. Gimp has switched to GTK3 this year after a long period of GTK2.
The same thing can someone say about KDE there is QT6 release at 2020 and after 3 Years they have start to plan/ port KDE to QT6.

In my opinion, it's not a problem to switch later to GTK4 and use a solid and stable version, and it's not the goal from XFCE to be bleeding edge.

_ka_,

@jbzfn @fosspost Ok, that is a point.
I see this too, that Gnome and GTK are to hard coupled(more or less).
I have seen some discusses about CSD at because gtk set it to default or the more more usage of libadwaita and that is only fits the Gnome development/environment/HIG -> it's not a bad thing but to tight on gnome.

What #Linux distro do y’all use on the #desktop?

Yes, this is the one time you’re allowed to be like “hi I use #ArchLinux” and not have everyone around you roll their eyes 😉

raineer,

@brunty It's on systems I can touch, and unstable for the ones I can't.

(Not really any comment on "stability" of arch, just that I can automate updates on Debian and never look back. On Arch I need to at least look at to see if anything is up)

For Arch, my favorite desktop is , though I will occasionally check out the latest in the world if I am spinning up a fresh laptop.
