Huh. I've really had my fill of Gnome 3. I'm an xmonad user, and the new shell's addition has only complicated my situation --- all the code that was taken out (for, say, customization of gnome's look & feel) was useful to me, and the new code (the shell) isn't useful to me at all.
If KDE's stable, it may be time for me to have a look. I just use chrome, emacs, a shell, and a file manager anwyays.
- andyking 15y agoYou might want to consider XFCE as well - the look and feel is very similar to Gnome 2 before they started adding all the bling. The deal-breaker for me with XFCE is the lack of network folder support in the default Thunar file manager, but that may not be an issue for you. But personally, I'm still using Gnome 2!
- qjz 15y agoSince switching to dwm, I can't even remember what I used a desktop environment for (I went from KDE to Gnome to XFCE to (black|flux)box to dwm). Based on your usage, I'm surprised you'd consider leaving xmonad for something as alien as KDE4. Give me the speed and screen real estate of a tiling window manager any day.
- lallysingh 15y agoOh I'd still be running xmonad. Just the launcher, theme setup, and file manager from kde.
