- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

TBH both gnome and KDE are broken piles of crap. Cinnamon and XFCE are the only good DE's left out there (at least for xorg, idk about wayland).
Last time i tried XFCE, i had a terrible experience
But that might be because i was playing minecraft with 300 mods on a laptop that could barely open the launcher
All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.
Don't get me wrong, that's also janky, but it's my ~~fault~~ jank.
Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn't expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there's a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE's are the only viable option for this usecase.
Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅
Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
I'd at Mate to the list as well.
XFCE and Cinnamon its in the Desktop as a experimental option
