Not sure what you mean by the worst desktop. I guess you mean UI/UX which tbh, I stopped caring a long time ago.
I'm using Linux as my daily driver, usually work from the commandline and have multiple screens which I can cycle through with a keyboard combination.
This way, I'm at least 3x more productive (speed, efficiency, ease of use) than Windows.
Most of the time, I'm not even using a mouse.
- bullen 5y agoI use TWM on Atom/NUC/Raspberry 4, and it works ok... BUT the GUI focus, copy/paste and /\ problems are troubling me... WHY? I said 2 years ago I would switch to the Raspberry 4 as my main driver, but it's still on my side monitor, with the keyboard on the side!!! I'm waiting for higher KWh prices... probably next winter I'll have to switch!
- mwcampbell 5y agoWhy twm? Have you considered using a modern but non-bloated Wayland compositor like sway, using applications that natively support Wayland where possible and Xwayland where needed? I imagine that would make much more efficient use of the GPU that the Raspberry Pi has always had.
- bullen 5y agoHm, I'm usually not a fan of using new stuff unless it has been stable/working/default for some years... last I heard of wayland was NOT good, but it was a couple of years back... The way you should use the GPU is with OpenGL, 2D can get along without hardware acceleration, I don't see how wayland can be better at using OpenGL as that is the application who calls the GPU directly without going through the window manager!?
