I was looking forward to kde4 until the slow/buggy reality hit. Maybe it was my graphics drivers, but the kicker successor never delivered for me. I switched to fluxbox for a while, and then gnome as it was and has stayed in a better state thanks to the install base on Ubuntu. Haven't looked again at kde since.
- fiddlerwoaroof 9y agoThat sounds like me, although I eventually found my way to tiling window managers (xmonad for a while, now stumpwm as it's written in my favorite language)
- audi100quattro 9y agoOnce I had compiz working, it's been gnome exclusively. Fluxbox was easy to configure with multiple monitors and customize in general. Just tried xmonad with xmonad --replace, and crashed X. Which has been my only experience with xmonad honestly. Edit: I do like gtile and some other gnome extensions.
- mikekchar 9y agoI should say that I actually like quite a bit about GNOME. I'm even a fan of mutter and GNOME shell (especially with gtile). I just wish I could decouple it from the rest of GNOME. I run xmonad at the moment. The learning curve is huge if you don't know Haskell. It took me ages to get it set up and working. But after I learned Haskell, it's really very nice.
- audi100quattro 9y agoI do like the vim-ness of xmonad in this video, and the tabs, and context awarness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70IxjLEmomg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70IxjLEmomg Will need to work on getting these features through xmonad, or something else. gtile itself seems to be js.
