I made the unfortunate post about asking why people liked Arch so much (RIP my inbox I’m learning a lot from the comments) But, what is the best distro for each reason?
RIP my inbox again. I appreciate this knowledge a lot. Thank you everyone for responding. You all make this such a great community.
Because it uses the best desktop environment (GNOME) and im the most familiar with
(I wonder how many downvotes i will get)
Hopefully none, why do you like Gnome? I thought it was okay, but I really love KDE more. I don’t hate Gnome. It seems really good for anyone who uses a touchpad or touchscreen.
I can’t speak for anyone else but I can tell you what I personally love about Gnome.
I like that it’s Spartan. I like that it looks good without me having to customize a thousand different settings.
I like that It has client side decorations, so every window doesn’t have to have an obscene, chunky, mostly useless title bar.
I don’t miss every single application having 100 different options packed into a menu bar. Once you get used to it, you realize that it was mostly getting in the way the whole time.
It’s just a really streamlined workflow for 98% of what you do. The problem is that 2% where it’s too spartan and God do you wish you had some options.
But I also think KDE is a great desktop environment. If I were more of a gamer I’d be using KDE. I think XFCE is an excellent desktop environment for aging hardware and Windows converts. It is very much a matter of taste, Use cases, and your preferred workflow.
Thank you. All very good points.
