What DEs are people using?

3 years ago by ABeeinSpace to c/archlinux

I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

Kde, let me change everything every time I get bored instead of switching to a whole different WM.

Yeah, but it still bloated KDE anyways.

On other side - if you like it, stick with it.

I did a pretty selective install, with the bare minimum and installed only what I needed after. So no bloat here. At least I use every piece of software I intended to have installed. But I get what you mean, a basic kde install with all meta packages is pretty heavy
