Hehe. I love these. I wonder what’s next? Text editors? Web browsers? Terminal emulators? Init systems?

I was a mite tempted to make a logo for my xmonad config, that I’ve whimsically been calling a window manager, called Tabularboonad for about 14 years. But really, it’s just an xmonad config.

I was a mite tempted to attempt to wrangle some contrived reasoning, and positioning on the chart, for my wminizer scripts, since (similar to the prior distro one, with my bedrocklinux use), I do not limit myself to just one wm (or distro), and really, I can switch between any window managers I have installed (and have listed in one of wmnizer’s wmrotate scripts (or the selection list, in the wmnizer2 branch)), such as xmonad, dwm, herbstluftwm, spectrwm, dk, icewm, openbox, without restarting X11(Xorg/XLibre/Pheonix/TinyX), keeping all my gui running seamlessly, as I switch wm in a split second. … So if following the logic of BedrockLinux, that it’s the distro I use, not the multitudes within/upon it, then instead of xmonad (+^)I should say wminizer [(oops, just realised i misspelled wminizer as wmnizer in the rudimentary logo I hastily scribbled for it earlier [when tempted use it here], lol, doh.)]. But, that’s not the same. Doesn’t feel right to try use that logic.

I suppose I should not have been so surprised to see xmonad show up so much in this one.

Whee. These are fun.

First: Gnome Favorite: Gnome Longest Used: Gnome Least Favorite: KDE Current: Gnome Future: Gnome

Used Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE in the past. Bucking the trend, I think Gnome is fine and does what I need it to do. You do you, though. That’s what is great about Linux.

I like hyprland, even tho the devs are assholes

I’m open to switching to similar tiling WMs but I’ve put a lot of time into my current config

Here we go, because why not:

Favorite: LXQt+i3. LXQt plays nice with tiling WMs, GTK and Qt, and it’s just way easier than installing a WM on its own. Tiling WMs are GOAT.

Honorable Mention: Crunchbang/early Bunsenlabs and Cinnamon Least Favorite: Gnome

First: probably Openbox on Crunchbang

Current: LXQt+i3

Longest Used: LXQt+i3

Future: sway, possibly with LXQt if I make the switch after the LXQt devs finish providing Wayland support.

Longest-used: XFCE, by far. Current: Wayfire + Noctalia 5.

I’m still an user of XFCE4. It just works.

Edit: Wrong DE name.

Favorite: Cinnamon.
Honorable Mention: KDE.
Least Favorite: Gnome.
First: Gnome.
Current: Cinnamon.
Longest Used: KDE.
Future: Cinnamon

Niri + dank material shell over here. I absolutely love the infinite horizontal desktop

Favorite: KDE.

Least Favorite: Gnome, but I’ve not tried a ton… It’s slick but way too opinionated for my tastes. I could change most of what bothers me about it with add-ons and mods, but KDE gives me the controls I want out of the box, and lets you do damned near anything you want before you even start installing mods (I don’t understand the person who thinks it’s too limited and Gnome is more flexible, but different priorities, I guess)

First DE: KDE on XanderOS… To be fair, the name sounded cool to young me and I didn’t know much of anything about the different Linux distros yet. And I think Ubuntu either wasn’t around yet or hadn’t gotten well enough known for me to have spotted it initially

Honorable Mention: Unity… Love it or hate it, Ubuntu was trying something actually interesting and I think it’s a shame they didn’t stick with it longer

Current DE: KDE

Potential Future DE: not sure, KDE does everything I want at this time, but I might give Cosmic a try, and/or a tiling WM, though I suspect I won’t care for it (I’ll give it a real shot to convince me, I just don’t see the appeal)

Longest used DE: KDE

Current distro: Mint with KDE shoehorned in, though will be OpenSuSE Tumbleweed in a couple hours (I love Mint but I’m tired of fighting with old packages and drivers, and suspect that might be the cause of graphics stack crashes that have plagued me… Also because I’m tired of waiting for KDE 6 for years now and it’ll be probably mid next year still before it’s available on Mint, and even then still only as an afterthought)

First DE used was definitely Cinnamon. Longest use should be awesome or i3, mah be close. Least favourite definitely awesome though, due to the way you have to configure it. It’s just such a mess. My favourite is also my current: herbstluftwm. Configuring it is actually fun (Btw, I am not into ricing, I am rather implementing unnecessary things). And I am still waiting for a wm which would actually convince me to use on wayland. That one would be the future wm^^

i3/sway for life

Sway all the way bay bay

I use Linux btw

Favourite DE & Current DE: GNOME. Simply the only one with a consistent and modern design.

Least Favourite: cosmic. This needs a lot more polish before I consider it anywhere close to an actual option. Currently it looks childish to me.

First DE used: Unity. It’s been a long, long time.

DE you wanna use in the future: None. I’m done DE hopping, no DE can deliver the level of consistency and polish that GNOME can deliver anymore.

Longest used DE: Pantheon. On elementary OS. Gnome took a long time to get its shit together, but at least it did.

Honourable Mention: KDE. It’s… Meh. It fixed some things consistency-wise, but it’s still stuck in the past when it comes to UI paradigms. It claims customisability, it’s only customisable in ways that barely matter anymore and can only break consistency. Insane workload on the app devs and the theme devs to have something working reliably as well.
