What is your preferred Desktop Environment or WM (Poll)

[LunkHead]

Understood sir! My apologies as I mis-understood your OP...

I agree that GeUbuntu is a very nice distro... The art can be easily changed though...

I am using Mint 4.0 with E17 at the moment and am really looking forward to the Mint E17 release!!! Should be something special and very nice...

If you all need anything for the E17 release please do not hesitate to ask as I am very willing to assist!

For Mint, I had to vote for Xfce. Xfce is simple, easy to navigate, does the main things I need a desktop to do.

To me, KDE is ok for a certain type of environment/usage and Gnome is never my top choice.

But I always have room for Xfce, especially the version that comes from Mint.

Don't worry. I've made many sentences, where people have understood my point, so it's my fault. At the moment I have found a very good icon artist, who is interested in making a whole theme for the Mint e17 project. I believe this is going to be one of the most complete e17 distro ever! Most e17 distros are made by one person. Geubuntu is made by one Italian guy and elive is made by only one guy (I think his American). I think gOS is only made by two people (One of them was an 'apple computers' developer). Imagine one guy developing a distro, artwork, a website, a forum and fixing bugs for one distro without anyone elses help, that is heaps of work. Mint17 has many members and developers and that's why I think we can achieve the goal of making a distro of 'ease of use', 'full of eyecandy' and 'complete e17 distro'. If you have any talent with ideas, artwork or so on you are more than welcome to help kris. Anyone else that is interested in helping is welcome.

XFCE is my second choice. I don't like e16 and I don't know anyone who does like e16. I love lightweight DE's and that's why I like e17 and xfce. I don't want to touch a WM like fluxbox though, I need something complete. Fluxbuntu progresses very slowly and that's why I'm not interested in helping or using their distro, the community is too small to make their distro a fast developing distro.

Another E17 fan here ... waiting patiently for the MintE17 release !!

While we are here, is there an app for creating E17 themes? ...

I don't have a clue. Ask on ubuntu forums there are plenty of e17 fanatics there. RAV TUX is the person who I know of that should know.

I voted for GNOME, but just because I still have to find an E17 distro that's really good. Mint17 could be the one

It should be

[DUDE_2000]

Gnome.
KDE runs too slowly, and I feel is cluttered.
I haven't used tho other ones, except XCFE, which I felt was the same as Gnome

[molom]

KDE is beating gnome... That's odd, but interesting.

Maybe that can make Mint developers change the Main edition to use KDE instead of Gnome...

[NoClue!]

I think the hacks jacking the pclinuxos distrowatch ratings are here..........hahaha!

E17 beating xfce????

Don't know why PCLOS is so popular. Like you said, it could be the pclos hackers . But Mint has been rated to be the top Distro by distrowatch and Sabayon, which was rated one of the worst is beating Mint. But Mint is just about to beat it, it's only around 20 points behind.

E17 is faster and looks a lot nicer than XFCE. XFCE is my second choice. But E17 isn't polished enough to be able to beat XFCE yet. It still beats fluxbox and ratpoison ( Very funny WM ).

Yea it beats me. I tried it for a while just felt ugly , cluttered, and not "radiacally simple" mint on the other hand is an i dont want kde to be the main wm .

Probably its the best a KDE distro can get . All PCLOS has is compiz and everything kubuntu has. I find Mint to be the best and most friendliest. I can't be bothered using PCLOS because its Mandriva based and I know I'll just be using a distro similar Kubuntu with Compiz. But there is a big difference in Linux Mint and Ubuntu in terms of looks and user friendliness.

[deadguy]

I've always preferred kde.

[molom]

I've always preferred kde.

As long it's related to Linux, I will always love it. No matter what DE/WM it is. I just really got sick Mac after using it for 3 years and don't find Windows fun to use.

[Catze]

I like KDE most, because Gnome is too unflexible in my eyes. But I have to admit I never tried XFCE or Enlightenment.

[FastGame]

It's sad to see the Mint user-forum revert to PCLinuxOS bashing, I only hope the PCLOS user-forum continues supporting Mint as it has......

I'm sure Clem will be disappointed in some.

BTW, as a long time Mint user I applied the so called "PCLOS hack" and voted for KDE.
