As I'm still hopping around for DEs (currently using MATE), I'm curious to see what you have used before. Here is an example of my WM/DEs that I have used:

Xfce
KDE Plasma 5
Openbox
LXDE
Cinnamon
MATE
Unity
GNOME 3
Awesome
Budgie
i3
JWM

In order of use:

KDE -> I did not like it. It was in school and it sucked. Might be different now. It was on Mandriva.
Cinnamon -> First time I used Mint. I loved it! I'm still using it today on my Thinkpad.
Budgie -> I first used it when I was testing Solus on my laptop and some other broken distros (sadly, none worked properly), and I did like it, very clean and simple interface. If it wasn't for hardware incompatibility, I would have stuck with it.
Gnome -> I used this a bit with Chapeau (derivated from Fedora) and it was alright, but confusing at first. Again, just like Solus, I couldn't have anything working properly, and this one only worked at a 800x600 screen resolution.

At the end, I reverted to Windows 10 on my gaming laptop, and kept Linux Mint on my Thinkpad. Best of both worlds, in my opinion.

I'm only comfortable with Unity. I've tried GNOME, KDE, i3-gaps, etc., but I always came back to Unity. Too bad the Canonical wankers are discontinuing it

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...

    @Veho, didn't need any news. Just going to the store and buying groceries is a constant reminder.

    A reminder that all corporations reported record profits these last few years?

    Reminded that every single price gouging law was blocked by republicans because "muh gubmint overreach"?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Won't somebody please think of the corporations?!?!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...

    But congressman X needs to have government funding for his cousins unicycle business
