| tenc | Hey wrst: I think I remembered you saying that you primarily use Arch, which DE do you use with it? | 17:47 |
|---|---|---|
| tenc | I still have Xubuntu on my desktop but I've had Arch with tmux running for a while on my laptop and I've found the experience oddly cathartic so I've been pondering xfce4 over Arch but wondered what other people were doing. | 17:52 |
| wrst | tenc: I use gnome | 17:55 |
| wrst | but xfce is good and all the shimmer themes are in the aur, so you can have a nice looking xfce like xubuntu if you desire | 17:55 |
| tenc | 2 or 3? | 17:56 |
| wrst | don't know if you have ever used stock xfce or not but its butt ugly until you give it some love | 17:56 |
| wrst | gnome 3.10 | 17:56 |
| wrst | you can't get gnome 2 in arch, well not without some weird magic | 17:56 |
| wrst | I'm sure someone somewhere might be but not for sure why | 17:56 |
| tenc | Isn't unity baked in to gnome 3+? | 17:59 |
| wrst | NO | 17:59 |
| wrst | :) | 17:59 |
| tenc | LOL, ok, I thought I could be wrong. | 17:59 |
| wrst | unity is a "shell" on top of gnome 3 or it was, not for sure how that is working now as I try to avoid unity like that black plague | 17:59 |
| tenc | Yes, it is not desirable. <g> | 18:00 |
| wrst | but if you like xfce no reason not to try it on arch | 18:00 |
| wrst | or cinnamon | 18:00 |
| wrst | I'm not a fan of cinnamon personally as it always seems laggy to me | 18:01 |
| tenc | I'll likely stick with xfce as you suggest. Everything else I've considered looks 'shiny' to me and I'm wary of shiny looking DEs. Like a lot of things I believe when DEs are working correctly you should not notice them. :) | 18:03 |
| tenc | Good afternoon, eileen. ^^ | 18:07 |
