Best DE?
| None, i3wm.
| LXDE's pretty good.
| XFCE
| KDE is the best DE. End of discussion.
| KDE
| >>349029 its good but i don't like the apple look it have, all this knotepad, ktorrent, knotes, ktoilet, kshit, kurmom.... Omg...

Entirely depends upon your definiton of user friendly. From a power-user perspective it's extremely user friendly due to it not getting in my way and being extremely fast in every possible aspect to the point where I can't use any other WM/DE anymore.
| >>349704 sounds like i should definitely try it. Which distro suites him best(except arch, i dont have so much time to waste)?
| >>349709
I saw a friend using Manjaro i3 edition. It comes preconfigured, available at https://manjaro.org/community-editions/ (scroll down). i3wm may take a day or two to get used to, but after that I couldn't let it go :)
| i3's a nice little WM. for my money, though, the trinity of WMs would be
>bspwm
>2bwm
>dwm
and somewhere under them, >i3
| No DE
Herbstluftwm

| >>349964 You confused me. Now i dont know which one of your 3 or maybe the i3 should i pick. I want now to hear arguments which and why is best?
| >>350271 i3, those are a bit too nerdy even for me. i3 is dead simple. I'd recommend replacing dmenu with rofi and i3status with i3pystatus (or the other py one)
>>349846 The preconfigured Manjaro with i3 is fucking dumb, let's defeat the purpose of a window manager designed to use as much of the screen as possible by putting gaps between windows and adding transparency to terminals, better yet let's make it the default! Mmmm the rice threads are gonna love this one!
| >>350405
I haven't personally used Manjaro i3, I just recommended it because it comes preconfigured. So you say it has i3-gaps preinstalled? In that case you can easily set the gaps in /etc/i3/config to 0 using "gaps inner" and "gaps outer".
| Uhm, have someone used manjaro? How is it? Is it bloated or totally free?
| >>351531
It's a prebuilt system, so it's about as bloated as any prebuilt Linux system. If you want to go truly boatless, go install something like Arch.
| >>351535 well that's sad, because i don't have so much time to deal with things like arch. Are you sure that all prebuilt systems are bloated? If yes then which is less?
| >>351553
There is no which is less. To me, anything I don't use personally in my workflow (especially in my personal devices) is a bloat.
If you don't want those bloats though, you can remove them all. It's Linux, not Windows.

| So I'm having fun with kde but i want to see alternatives to it. Can someone recomend me a DE that is as customizable and as clean or even cleaner than kde?
