What about the Deepin desktop? I haven't tried it but many magazine sites say it's now the most polished. I'm fairly happy with i3, until I need to plug in additional screens...
- shrimp_emoji 7y agoDeepin's, elementaryOS's, and Pop!_OS's DEs look nice, but I've never tried 'em. I generally avoid "niche", satellite distros/software because, well, you can't expect them to work as well as the their major competitors. Cinnamon IS a major DE and a stylistic competitor to KDE and Xfce, and it's quite nice too (but not offered as a Manjaro flavor, sadly). >I'm fairly happy with i3, until I need to plug in additional screens... I've never been brave or OPEN-MINDED enough to try those kinds of DEs... I welcome reinforcement of my biases; w-...what happens when you plug an additional screen in? :v
- willtim 7y ago> what happens when you plug an additional screen in? Absolutely nothing. I have to tyoe xrandr commands to make anything happen. I3 is strictly just a window manager. Unfortunately projects like Gnome solve these problems in a completely monolithic fashion, with no module or component that I use that just solves this problem.
