Xfce is still unrivaled
| I wish XFCE wasn't the best humanity has to offer, but your probably right (not even a xfce user)
| so true bestie
| I can agree with that. Xfce is just good, fast, lots to customize. I do think Dwm ties with it though. Gnome is just fucking annoying and KDE has weird issues sometimes, i3 screen tears and Hypeland is unstable sometimes.
| I don't really like it but I'm glad you found what you like op I'm happy for you
| i3 is better
| Xfce sure is ugly though.
| Rest In Peace stability?

really starting to believe in the davos circle rn, this shit cannot be more on the nose if they tried
| I don't know why anyone would make a desktop environment in rust, that just sounds like hell. Just use C, or Zig, hell even C++ would be better.
| if i donated money to xfce and they used it to create a entierly new DE on wayland w/russed. i would be pissed.
wonder what the general sentiment among donators is
| Sex F C E
| It's a good thing you can just change it on XFCE since it's not tied down. Once Wayland arrives on XFCE with Debian 20, I'll be able to just get an XFCE X11libre combo.
| Every Rust dev i met has been desperate to replace, not maintain two codebases.
This is co-opting resources, that would have went twords maintaining the thing you actually use.
| I still prefer KDE, Lxqt and TDE.
Why? Because Qt is superior to GTK. Better look&feel and better development policy.
| >>1083302 >*krashes*
GTK has its downsides but fucking hell, KDE takes the cake of being an unstable piece of shit.
| eh screw it.
GTK3 looks like absolute ass. made for phones UI.
QT is unstable slow and horrific when it comes to deps, why does my calculator need geolocation sort of nonsense.
| GTK2 is fine. neither of these are necessary, to have a desktop. I'd be better of if both stopped being used
| MATE is nice too, and the best thing is that you can mix and match applications from xfce. I use xfce4-appfinder as some kind of rofi/dmenu. I think both desktop environments complement each other!
| No love for lxde?
| just to be clear. i like and use both gtk3 and qt programs. i just don't think gtk/qt makes them good, it often makes them worse.
| I'm on Mint XFCE right now, why do dangeru fonts render weirdly?

Ah, that's because of subpixel rendering. It's a way to achieve a "higher resolution" by rendering fonts using only part of the pixel (since every pixel on LCD screens is composed of colored subpixels ie RGB). The downside is sometimes color artifacting. You can blur it with AA or turn it off entirely if it bothers you.
The windows equalient to subpixel rendering is the ClearType font.
| You can also install the TrueType font pack as a fix. In b4 Linux purists start seething lol
| Wow cool! Thank you smart gurl!

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what. I set up Noto Sans, but dangeru still renders wrong. I even installed the Cyberpunk Waifus font, but it still is messed. Is Firefox the culprit? Should I use Chrome????
| LXDE will never be peaked and its not even close
| >>1083615
Why not? It's good and definitely not forgotten or abandoned. In fact it's so stable it hasn't been updated since 2021. Because it's so peak stable, not because it's forgotten or abandoned because it isn't.
Refresh
| Mixed with Debian it's the peak of humanity
