PoyBoy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 For those of you *NIX types (like me), which environment do you prefer? I prefer Gnome, because I started with it, as I randomly selcted it in my first Ubuntu Install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 i change my desktop all of the time, mostly depending on my mood. For the most part GNOME is my favourite. KDE is annoying. XFCE is my favourite of the lightweight desktops though, even though it's perhaps not quite that minimalistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_tom Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah, i started with KDE so i kinda stick with it. Its a little heavy but it does the job and i've come to rely on a lot of K app's. I can't really get into gnome it just doesn't feel right. fluxbox and blackbox are kinda neat for lite desktop's but no good for my main box as i need loads of kde lib's to run alot of the programmes i use and it ends up nearly as heavy as the kde and alot more crash prone. but these days i don't bother with X on my other boxes its easier to get remote shell than remote desktop and faster too.

Lopti Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I prefer fluxbox. It's light, fast and configurable. Gnome is too clunky and KDE just doesn't appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I love the command line, but only under a Gnome enviroment. I'm not hard core enough to only have the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duelus Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 they all have there advantages, I like gnome as a desktop, fluxbox, on live cd's and slower desktops, and of course CLI on my servers, but even when I am using a GUI on linux, I find myself using CLI to do even the simpliest tasks.

jool Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Where is the Windows option? :D But when I use linux I prefer to use something that is as minimal as possible like fluxbox. But when being realistic it just gets too annoying to use something that isn't either Gnome or KDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Where is the Windows option? i do believe that was the /dev/null option :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I recently got round to doing some kernel upgrades, so I’m now using Enlightenment on all my desktop machines, Fluxbox on all my laptops and my servers don’t use one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt {Undead} Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I got gnome running on my ps2 linux box, I dont use it much tho because its just soooo slow with 32mb of ram. I originally had it has a webserver but now I just have it as a network file server/network webserver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
