So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)
After trying mostly everything, I always come back to my “custom desktop”: (openbox + xfce4-panel + thunar + xfce4-terminal + dunst) … for the last 15 years or so. It doesn’t get in the way, is fast AF, it takes very very little ram/cpu (4.5 Mb !!) and it has everything I need (even tiling via keyboard). It’s VERY customizable and it does as I tell. No crashes, no weirdeness. It just works. I will probably move to labwc in a future, just because… wayland. And now I’m about to use it on a steam deck… it’s gonna be fun.
Reminds me of how lxqt uses openbox for its windowing.
AFAIK, lxde uses openbox, and lxqt uses xfwm.
Lxqt uses openbox, I tested it, and am pretty sure lxde ships its on window manager.
I should have said I was speaking about debian. Other distros may use different defaults.
Ohh
