Microsoft's Software Is Malware

Re:Microsoft's Software Is Malware by segasaturn on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @05:32PM (#35348220)

I run Windows 11 on my personal laptop. Best part is it's a Framework Laptop, it's 100% compatible with Linux and has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora, and yet I choose to run Windows 11 on it. I prefer the Windows UI to the abomination that is GNOME and I'm also able to do basic things like sleep and hibernate my machine without it freaking out.

Mate is pretty good.

Cinnamon DE is great.

i3wm or ratpoison tho frfr

plasma DE is really nice though; and I use that on my artix install. Love it. It's like windows but it doesn't suck

I actually like Plasma a lot as well out of the Linux desktop environments, it feels like the only one that actually cares about design and UX. It's a shame that GNOME is the 'default' Linux DE and often the only one with real support from distros.

That's one of the things that I really can't understand. Gnome is awful and the people who work on it are so out of touch with what users actually want.

Plasma understands that; as well as PLENTY OF OTHER DEs but your casual linux observer just thinks "wow gnome looks ugly" and it does, it always has, i still have absolutely no idea why anyone would roll a distro out with that... mess.
