Hint: there is 3rd one
- demxzy 8y agoAnd the third one has gotten much better in recent years
- cududa 8y agoNo
- satya71 8y agoThere is, but it's worse. Especially since GNOME 3. I know you can use MATE or Cinnamon, but it's not the default on any of the major platforms.
- didibus 8y agoKDE is really good right now. I'd highly recommend it. Something like KDE Neon or OpenSuse are both really solid OS experiences right now.
- norova 8y agoI made the switch from Windows 10 to Manjaro w/KDE about 2 months ago. Took about a week of ironing out some things and forcing myself to stick it out, but now I love it. I will also vouch for KDE being really good right now.
- AnthonyMouse 8y agoThey technically have defaults, but when the difference for most distributions (e.g. Debian) is just checking a different box in the installer, it seems like a silly thing to complain about.
- clear_dg 8y agoI think there's an assumption that the default DE gets more attention from the distro; it's more polished, and "just works" (or at least, something approaching the concept on Linux). e.g. from what I remember, when installing xfce in debian, you get the ugly barebones defaults from upstream. Compare this to Xubuntu...

- throwaway080383 8y agoPretty sure they meant Linux.
- sgwae 8y agoIt looks like desktop linux/ unknown browser is negligable in userbase. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_sys...
- vbezhenar 8y agoWhy do you care? It works.
- sgwae 8y agoNone of the major os vendors have great usabability. They work, but with lousy updates, and/or limited customization. Some of the android phones I buy dont even have rooting options.
- AnthonyMouse 8y agoAndroid isn't a desktop operating system and mobile device hardware continues to be a huge mess. That doesn't stop you from buying a PC from Dell or building one from parts and installing Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/whatever-you-want on it. The percentage of other people who do that is irrelevant because the absolute number is still millions of people, which is more than enough to sustain a community and produce a competitive user experience. I have an old computer with Windows on it and would turn it on once in a blue moon for the occasional thing that required Windows. It has been years since I've had to use it.
