Last week I was asking about when and why you started using Linux, thank you everyone who took their time to write an answer! It was interesting to read all of your guys stories and I was surprised just how far back some of them go.
Now I am curious about your guys DE/WMs. What do you use? What do you like/don’t like about it? What have you tried? What is you go to? Any you absolutely can not stand the sight of? Any that you tried that disappointed you?
Once again no judgment, just curious about peoples experiences.
I added the post to include WMs as well, they slipped my mind for some reason when making the post.
What does Gnome do differently when it comes to trackpads?
I think I lasted a whole lot of 5 minutes when actually using i3, it made me feel way too stupid. Seeing people use it is impressive, actually using it is another story (to me).
Glad I’m not the only one who felt that. In the end it just frustrated me so I never tried again. Lol.
For Gnome, like someone has said, it’s the workflow. Imagine like Android on pc. Gestures, app drawer, etc. I’d go back to KDE in a flash if I weren’t using a trackpad, but swiping/gestures on trackpad is just too convenient. The devs don’t want it to be customized, afaik, so that part is tricky. Customization is extremely limited.
Yea, you definitely aren’t.
Ahhh I see, I never use those anywhere so I am not missing anything even though I use the trackpad quite a lot. Thank you for the answer!
