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?

| >new compositor
>for Wayland
>written in rust
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?
| https://files.catbox.moe/ofwncw.png
| >>1083475
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!
| >>1083480
>>1083481
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.
| >>1083618
LXDE was abandoned in favour of LXQT, because QT > GTK.
>>1083360
What you're talking about?
QT Apps usually are way more efficient and stable than GTK Apps.
Yes, KDE Apps (which are based on QT) sometimes come with lots of dependencies, because they somehow belong to the KDE framework. But KDE isn't the only project that uses qt and such problems also exist for GTK (GNOME).
| >>1083766
I've seen QT glitch out in ways i have not seen gtk ui.
QT devs (this includes devs that use it) are some of one of the worse people when it comes to not understanding what a optional dependency is.
They might as well stop trying to pretend that qt has modules.
> qt and such problems also exist for GTK
I mean i did say, i don't want either to exist. They're both bad
| Xfeces 4 lyfe
| >>1083839
idk BrO, would you spend any time looking for bugs. in order to prove litterally nothing on a random post? would you Br0?
just think before asking this shit
| I really like XFCE but there's just something missing from it that I dont know how to explain. I also really enjoyed using Budgie and LXQt. But I can't seem to settle on a DE (for now I'm just using KDE but this just feels shittier than the previous three). I need help :(
| >>1083844
you said you experience bugs all the time yet you cant name any examples?
that's so fake. being a contrarian doesn't make you look smart, gurl. it does the opposite.
| >>1083864
you good at bait or roleplaying as master debater?
Here let me spell it out.
a) i never said "all the time".
guess what? most of the bugs i've had i either fixed or stopped using the software.
I know shocking.
b) you are actually asking someone to bring fourth a fuckin detective case file on personal experiance.
I didn't autisticly catalog graphical glitches.
and no one sane would search for them.
| >>1083864
I stated my preferance and personal experiance.
This is as if i said:
I avoid the icecream vans, because i found it tastes a bit too sour too often, when i used to try it.
To which you go SOURCE??? WHICH ONES?? WHICH CONES?? DID YOU GET A CUP??
CHECK MATE, IDIOT YOU DON"'''T HAVE PROO>P>YFFF!
| >>1083864
reasonably i could tell you software that's worked. because guess what i'm still using it.
| >>c35951
>X is true
k, how come? got any examples to share?
>I don't know. I have newer witnessed it myself. X is just true, okay? If you disagree you're a troll and I'm totally not going into defender mode right!!! I can't tell you WHY X is true or give you any examples but I can tell you about Y...
Just give us an example of all the bugs you supposedly claim exist. It's not hard.
| >>1083912
> I can't tell you WHY X is true or give you any examples but I can tell you about Y
Yes, that's correct. You have chosen to ignore the reason i said that.
| Also you call me a contrarian and agree on half of my points.
> qt and such problems also exist for GTK
| >>1083912
To spell out the reason.
I don't remember examples of X.
Tracing what i vaguely remember takes a lot of effort.
I'm not putting in the work.
I give Y as a example of something that is irrelavent. BUT takes no real effort to get.
| >>c35951
You're so full of it lol. What is this, vibe critisism? You DO NOT come off as a girl who knows what she's talking about.
>>1083924
That's not me, you sillybilly phonypony.
| >>1083943
You've mistaken this for an "Argument".
How are you this dense?
> That's not me
None of them are you. You don't exist.
> What is this, vibe critisism?
Accuses something based on nothig.
Does that thing immediatly after.
Holy shit. This is impressive.
| >X is buggy
K, like how?
>20 walls of hUrR dUrR texts none of which mentions the afromented bugs
| i don't even read your responses btw. i only need to skim through the first few words to know if you're earnest or not.
