What's your favorite desktop environment? This isn't limited to just Linux to you Mac and Windows users! ;) If you prefer Windows, just say Windows. Same with Mac. Given the recent changes to some Desktop Environments, what do you think now? What about some of the upcoming DE's such as Windows 8 with Metro? Thoughts, concerns?

2 answers. The first is KDE 4.x Nothing beats it in terms of customization. NOTHING. The last time I used it was over a year ago, and I stopped for 1 reason--it was still buggy as hell and I got fed up. I'm really tempted to try 4.8.x, but I just cannot bring myself to install it again. The second is in the complete opposite direction, and is what I switched to from KDE: Xfce. It's light and simple and stable as a rock. And it can look pretty sweet if its tweeked enough. For now, my final answer is Xfce. |

Personally, now I'm more of a KDE 3/4 guy for a desktop. I like the customization, but I also like how easy it is to learn. 2nd favorite is the Finder for the Mac OS while Windows 7 is 3rd. However, I don't like how Windows 8 is coming along. Don't get me wrong, we need Windows for competition in the market, but Windows 8 will be a mistake. Windows 7 is a pretty good OS, nearly on par with the Mac OS as well in therms of a desktop environment. |

I never used anything other than a Windows so I'll go with Windows. |

I like windows so far. There is a lot you can do with it, and its pretty straight forward. I haven't tried Mac too much, and Linux I am a bit familiar with. |

if unity is running slow on your new machine there is something seriously wrong with your new machine specially if you are saying widows is faster since Ubuntu unity the whole OS and program sit on less then 6 gb of HD space I have a lap top new with quad core and 8 gb of ram and have yet no matter how I try to use more then 2 gb of ram laptop runs like a rocket first boot up with win 7 out of the box explorer locked it up and needed cold shut down and reboot second boot explorer locked up trying to down load chrome installed Ubuntu never looked back .. im not a windows hater far from it used windows for 18 years, when you have this much computing power and cant get a simple browser to run with out crash or a down load without lock up time to find a new way .. |
Why was this reported?
Y Did someone report this? and I am a windows person all the way...
Coral. . .
Oh and GNOME 2 or 3? I'm guessing 2.
Look at the report, this question has close similarity with a favorite OS, though this one is slightly more directed with linux environment.
No, the question has a negative. It says it's NOT limited to Linux, Mac or Windows users, so I answered with my favorite TARDIS desktop theme.
Its not directed at any specific OS. It just so happens that with Linux, you can have many different Desktop Environments while on Windows and Mac you have what is given to you.
@ryebread761 Well actually I like both Gnome 2.x and Gnome 3. I see Unity and Gnome 3 as the future, and I like how they work. But I still love the old traditional Gnome 2.x
I reported this. 2 people reported it
I don't see anything wrong with this question. It wasn't asked before.
I can see this is more like a "what is your preferred OS"
